While we haven't played the Eagles since the '04-'05 bowl, that is not the only point of significance in this match up. If the Patriots win this game, and/or the Bills lose theirs (they are playing the Jaguars I believe, and I don't think the Bills have a prayer against the Jags running game), the the Patriots will join three other teams in the NFL, as having clinched the championships by week 11. Are there any other records out there we can beat?? Oh, well actually... when we rematch against the Jets, it is rumored that the point spread will be the highest in NFL history... That's something I guess...
So many good articles, so little time. I suggest you read this one, found in a Philly newspaper of all things!! I don't think this could have been more favorable towards us if it had been written by a Patriots fan!! It's very well written, and in between my reading it, I punctuated with the occasional "hell ya," or, "it's about goddamned time someone gets the picture!"
Here is a Blog that i found, and I have to tell you, it too is wonderfully written... much like the Philly article, I couldn't help but nodding and muttering little affermations througout reading it... the comments on the end make me laugh too... Some people really are idiots. I mean, I LOVE the Patriots... so how do I prove that? By sitting here for hours and writing these emails, going to every game, branding my entire state on my back, not owning anything other than dress clothes, and patriots stuff... how OTHER teams show love? By going on to various websites, and leaving ignorant comments on Patriots articles and blogs... GET A LIFE!
This one is another blog, written by the same author above. It's outdated, as it is talking about the Pats/Colts game... but if you have the time, it's hysterical... I think I'm in love with this guy!
Here's an article written about Moss, and why he's more valuable than Brady. It's a good article, however I'm not sure I can agree with it 100% God knows, I'm not the biggest Brady fan... However, i've found myself saying an aweful lot of nice things about him recently... I still think he's a big dork, and that Bledsoe got a raw deal (leave me alone, I had to put that out there ok?!) But he's really proven himself to be a great QB, and a great representitive of the NFL. Ofc, we all know that there is a level of expected and forced humility, but you can tell the difference between a humble Brady and a, for example, "humble" T.O. I've never wanted to slap someone more than I do when T.O. gets on TV running his mouth like he just won the Oscar: "I'd like to thank the fans, my family, and above all else, God for giving me this amazing body, albeit a medeocre brain..." (paraphrased of course..) The point here, tho I got a little far afoot, is that while I don't deny the fact that Moss is simply not human! You can't put enough men on him... Single/Double/TRIPPLE cover him, go ahead, we dare you! He's still gonna reach out somehow and snatch that ball out of the air. That said, if he had Jason Cambell throwing to him, would his numbers still be as good? I mean, give him a break, he can't be THAT good! And the reason Brady is so unstopable this year is because he finally has some decent weapons on his offense! Could Moss be as good as he is without Brady rocketing the ball to him? And could Brady has such a sick completion rating if he had no one to throw to? I think that both could be good on their own, but the reason they are unSTOPABLE is because of the amazing bond... I mean christ, you see them sitting on the sidelines together holding hands and whispering sweet nothings... they make a hell of a pair, on the field and off (yes, I do belive they are dating.... I saw that Oprah special on the Down Low Brothers... heh)
Yet another example of how the Brady/Moss team is unstopable.. here's an article talking about all the amazing players of the week... no OTHER team had two players on this list(honerable mentions don't count)... But Brady and Moss both did. Remember that whole Bennifer(Ben Aflek and Jennifer Garner) or Brangalena (Brad Pitt and Angelna Jole) thing? Should we start calling these two Bross? hmm...
Ok, those are just a few of my favorites... there are millions of other ones as well, that I'm sure you're capable of finding and reading on your own, SO... here are some useless facts for you:
This is the 10th time the Pats have played the Eagles only 10 times during the regular season... and not since the Superbowl match... This is the first time in 20 years that the Eagles have made the trip to New England... the last time was November 29th, 1987 in SULLIVAN Stadium.. ah, nostalga! After Sunday, we will have played 3 or the 4 teams in the NFC East... The Giants will be the last one. The Pats, as you well know, have DISTROYED both the Redskins(formerly the BOSTON Redskins, prior to '34) and the Cowboys.. why should this game be any different? The last time the Pats played all four teams was in 2003... overall, the Pats record against the NFC East is 12-22, ugh!
Because we are so good, and the Eagles are so bad... lets do a little Colts V Pats... the reason behind this is simply that we will most likely see them in the AFC's so it doesn't hurt to have some foddor for the Retarded ass colt's fans that tend to run their mouths when they meet a Pats fan on the street...
Start by reading this... make sure you have some time set aside, because it's a long one... this is the cold hard truth as to how and why Brady is better than Manning ... a lot of reading, but a great and very deep and detailed article... For example, it compares the Brady vs Manning post season preformance... each of manning's Ends with: "manning chokes, colts lose" and ours end: "Brady gets it done in crunch time, patriots win..." Of course, there are exceptions to the rules.. but we don't like to talk about those!
Here's an up to date "matchup" between Manning and Brady... note things like, times sacked, or yards lost due to sacks... Here's the matchup of Moss and Reggie Wayne... heh... note Moss' 16 Recieving TD's.... booya.
Here are power rankings for the NFL.... we are leading the pack of 12 referred to as the "Dominant Dozen..." Please note that Manning and his Pony's are number four... HA..
Alrighty folks... that's all for now... Because it's a late game, I will most Likely be at the Union Pub, as I have been for the 8pm games this season...
The good news? This will be the last late Sunday night game! In theory, only three teams are allowed to have a max of 6 games... we get 7, so the rest of our game, while will still most likely be flexed, will be no later than 4:30... awesome!
If you or anyone you know plan to come on the bus next week, let me know because as it stands, I'm cancelling it on Monday...
