Back To Their Winning Ways!

Raise your hand if you want to play the Patriots in the playoffs…I’m waiting…..still waiting… yea that’s what I thought no one does. Not after the Pats won their 6th of 7 to push their record to 10-5. Not after the way they dominated both sides of the ball last night in the final MNF game on ABC. The Patriots demoralized the Jets with two touchdowns by Vrabel and by ball control; they controlled the ball for 43+ minutes of the game. They also didn’t allow a first down in the first half and by the time the Jets got a first down it was with less then 6 minutes left in the 3rd and the Jets trailing 28-7. The Patriots also continued to move up in the defensive rankings, with their dominant performance last night they moved up to 4th in the league in rushing yards allowed, they were 27th back when they were 4-4. They also moved up to 17th in the league in PPG; they now allow only 20.6 points a game, up from 30th in the league when they were 4-4. So I ask you again who wants to play the Patriots. Not even the Colts. They see the Patriots in their rearview mirror and all of a sudden the monkey on Manning’s back, which he thought he got rid of this past November, is looming large. A few weeks ago when I mentioned how the Patriots were going to make a run in the playoffs everyone laughed at me, but now I’m waiting for that AFC championship game when the Pats go into Indy, most likely as ‘dogs, and win that game and go on to win their 3rd Super Bowl in a row and show everyone once again that it’s not how you start a season, but how you finish and the Patriots are the best finishers in this decade.
