"Obviously, the first half we didn't do anything," said New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, regarding his team's first half performance on Monday Night Football. "I don't think it could have gotten much worse." Well, Mr. Brady, it did not get worse -- but a lot better. The Patriots dominated the Kansas City Chiefs for a final score of 34-3.

The Chiefs, who were closing in on the AFC West lead just a few weeks ago, have now lost three straight games and their quarterback, Matt Cassel, is on injured reserve -- done for the season. Two out of the Chiefs' last three losses have been embarrassing. They lost in similar fashion to the lowly Miami Dolphins and are fading fast. A repeat of an AFC West division win seems highly unlikely at this point.

After the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets seemed to be closing in on the AFC East lead, the Patriots are now back on top and look to be a near lock to make the playoffs. With recent wins over the division rival Jets and the Chiefs, along with the Bills' falling apart in the second half, life just got easier for New England football fans.

Next up for the 7-3 Patriots are the Philadelphia Eagles on November 27. The Eagles' playoff hopes may be out of reach, but as they showed the New York Giants, do not count them out. Something tells us Brady and company will be aware of that.

The real dilemma here is that they need to avoid any more injuries during all this practice they have leading up to their Superbowl appearance against the Cheeseheads, exacting their long awaited payback....

I sure hope so. I voted no because whenever people say the Patriots are going to win, they seem to lose. So I voted via Karma.
Go Pats!

Pretty much most of the time they do :) Sorry Pats' fan so I will always root for them. I am surprised in reality though of how bad Buffalo has become and Miami always seems to start up about halfway through the season. The real question here is will Brady play like second half Brady or slow first half Brady in the playoffs, that's where we get caught....I know I am salivating for another Super Bowl win....I'll even sell my first born to be there when they make it :)

I am not a "Patriots" fan. It is truly amazing to watch them play another team and literally know what the opposing team's offense is going to run. That's, that's, that's not cheating, it's FOOTBALL. Just ask Joe Paterno - whatever it takes, it's all about winning - isn't it???

The 1st time Tom Brady came to my attention, he was lying to a referee. The Referee bought it and the game was won by New England.
I do not like Tom Brady, so I hope the team does not have success.

dude, I saw that game, the ref was already throwing in the flag anyway. Every one knows that now after the million of replays (guess ya went to the bathroom during that time) besides...ALL quaterbacks do it, all receivers call interference....it is how the game is these days.

The game I'm referring to was against the Raiders. I saw the deceptive play with my own eyes. Is this the game you're talking about?

Well my favorite coach Rex and his team of quote "scum bags" already whooped your fishies once and we will again in a few weeks. This is all fun and games buddy and on a honest side the dolphins are actually making a turn around lately while my team just keeps bein more erratic!

reply
cudlow to The_Mac... 2011/12/10 12:21:28

Looking forward to the rematch. The way our defense is playing now - Sanchez will be sitting on the bench crying by halftime!Ryan had one of his assistant scum bags trip our player on punt coverage last year. I keep hoping that some team will call a sweep towards that fat scum and run right over him and plant him about 3 feet under the ground!

The first part of the season was a bit rough, but their backup linebackers look better than the starters. Nothing's a lock, but I think the Pats are in pretty good shape at this point.

Except for the Eagles game, the Patriots have a walk in the park the rest of the season. There is no chance for the other three teams to catch up; especially since the Jets don't have a quarterback. Brunnel, older than dirt, is taking practice for the coming week. That's how bad Sanchez is.
