Well, you can watch any game at Gator's. If you are a member of the American Legion, a bunch of us get together every weekend at Post 347 on Rolling Acres to watch the PATS.

I made a bet (small) 3 weeks ago that the Pats would win 3 of the first 4. Arizona was the one I thought they might lose. I also stayed up to watch the entire game. Right down to the "hold your breath" field goal attempt by Arizona. The Patriots got lucky, game could have gone either way.

Belichick is someone you never bet against. He is a master at taking the players available and building a winning team. He has to be the best NFL active coach and is very close to being the best ever. If he pulls this season out of the clutches of the NFL commissioner then IMHO he will be the best ever. He never bemoans the players he doesn't have or makes excuses, he just spends his cycles making those he does have into a winning team.

I to would love to find a place where I can watch all the games. I threaten to leave Comcast and go to Direct TV only for the NFL ticket. I have been a die hard fan since 1959 when the talks got serious to form the AFC in 1960.

Holy Moley! I believe my heart is finally back in a nice sinus rhythm

Is there ever an easy game? So many things about this game, but for now, I will just say thank you to the 'football gods' for another week.

Yeah, Really. Seems like the defense was in a total fog the second half.

I understand that every Patriots player is injured this week and unable to play. Belichick and his coaching staff will face the Bills alone.
That's why the Pats are only favored by six.

I'm picking the Patriots to romp in the Super Bowl.

Atlanta has the number one offense by points scored. The Patriots have the number three, but that includes being shut out by the Bills when Jacoby Brisette had to play with a broken finger. Without that game they are number two in points scored.

The Patriots however are number one in points scored by opponents. The Falcons are number 23.

Also the Falcons schedule was against teams that allowed more points per game than The Patriots opponents.

Green Bay is number 26 in points allowed and many of their players were suffering with the flu. I don't see the Falcons running up 44 points against the number on defense in the BF and I don't see the number 23 defense in the NFL slowing down the Patriots attack.

Matt Ryan is having a great year, but he and the rest of that team don't have anywhere near the playoff experience that Brady and The Patriots go.

The spread is only three, but I see the The Pats winning by a big margin.

There have been six Super Bowls where the number one defense faced the number one offense and the defense won five of six. I don't know how many of those teams with the number one defense also had the number two offense.

Now here is why the Patriots have been so successful. Danny Amendola has just agreed to a cut in pay in order to stay with the team. Tom Brady has done the same several times. These guys actually put winning and their legacy ahead of a bit of extra money.

Yeppers. It seems they are always picking up someone new and trading. They are great at taking people other teams didn't want and winning super bowls with them.
