Few thoughts: The Patriots USED to play the game differently. It used to be about controlling the clock and maintaining that if they scored 21-24 they could win. NOW it's about putting points on the board because points win. Matt Cassell threw a 5 yard slant that was intercepted. It wasn't as though he was airing it out on a reverse flea flicker. Cassell isn't going to get better or develop game experience handing the ball off to Kyle Eckel. New England doesn't care what you think of them. They are going to score and are going to try to score every possession if possible. If you don't want to see yourselves down three scores, stop them. Try not to fumble. Try covering on special teams and not allowing Willie Andrews to run the kick back. Anyone who is still chirping about NE being cheaters just sounds bitter and jealous. So do the conspiracy theorists who somehow believe that Goodell is in on it and just ignored evidence. Those same people are the people who think 9/11 was an inside job. This is going to continue. It's not going to stop unless the weather forces them into a different game. Then you will see a different defense. I feel bad for the Dolphins. I'm not sure if it's because I always appreciated Jason Taylor, but I feel bad for them.

Cassell also isn't going to get better if he gets pulled after 1 pass play.The 2007 Patriots have morphed into the 2004 Colts. They are getting way more props on their defense than they deserve. If the Dolphins can get 28 on them, I wonder if the Colts can do the same?

The Pats defense gave up 21 points. One Dolphins TD was on the Jason Taylor INT for 6.

Yep, I never said otherwise.

Do defensive scores not count now in the total? Great, that would mean the Steelers won last night.

They don't count against the Pats D. Thye let up 21 points, the offense gave up 7.

There really is no arguing that the D only gave up 21. But, the D did give up 21 to a team starting Cleo Lemon and with a RB named Chatman doing the damage.Their offense is amazing, but no need to lump their Defense into the "this is the greatest team ever" discussion.

The Patriots are playing phenomenal ball right now. I'm not sure there's any way that they slip up in the playoffs if they keep the main pieces healthy.

The best pass defense they've faced so far is #24. They are very good, but have yet to play a defense that has stopped anybody in the air.

At this rate Im beginning to think that the reason the pass Ds the Pats have played are ranked so low is precisely because they faced the Pats. The high rankes pass D's have yet to get 17 TDs scored on them so they're still ranked high. Seriously though, saying they've been successful just because they play against weak pass D's isnt believable at this point. I hate the Pats. I want them to lose. Because I hate it when a bunch of arrogant pricks are condescending but pretend they are being classy.

do you know what projection is?

Through 7 games:

1. Most classless

2. Most arrogant

3. Biggest cheaters

4. Most running up the score ever5. Most taunting of opponents

6. Most despised team in the league anywhere outside of Boston

Because the NFL consists of little pansys with skirts like yourself who can't take a beating.

If you don't want them running up the score, stop them.

It's inexcuseable to ever go easy on a team in professional sports.

Grow up you nancy.

No. But I just asked my wife and she told me it's when you possess a certain quality and then blame others for having that same quality. I guess that would that your psychoanalytical comment insinuated that I am the one that is really condescending yet pretending to be classy. Im quite sure Im not condescending and hoping the Pats lose is definitely not classy so I think you are wrong on both counts. But, my position that the NE organization disguises arrogance with "class" stands.

Keeping Brady in the game as late as they did, after the Cassel pick, is a good way to insure all the pieces wont remain healthy.I honestly think they want to go 16-0 as a screw you to the league for the video tape business.Smells of hubris.
