The Patriots will go undefeated. I was hopeful of this before last night's game. Since they withstood some of the most one-sided officiating known to the NFL and came back from the edge of defeat to gut out a win, I think they really can go all the way.
Wes Welker is now my favourite Patriot. How the Dolphins traded this guy who led their team in most offensive statistics last season to their division nemesis is beyond me. Welker showed the multi-dimensional rushing, returning and receiving skills at key times in yesterday's game, as he has a number of times already this season. It should be noted that Troy Brown (even though he isn't playing right now), Tom Brady and Randy Moss round out the top 4 of my favourite Patriots. That's just on the offence! Then there's Junior Seau, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel... OK, OK, they have a lot of good players, we get it.
The Patriots built their team with the best combination of acquisitions ever, with Moss, Welker and Donte Stallworth and Adalius Thomas rounding out the talent that the Pats needed and didn't have for the past few years.
I still hope that Brady gets the TD passing record and league MVP, he is well on the way with 33 so far and 7 games to go. That is on pace to complete 59 TDs which would obliterate Peyton Manning's 2004 record of 49 passing TDs. Randy Moss has 12 TD receptions this season. This is slightly below the pace he needs to break Jerry Rice's 22 TD reception record, but I figure the Pat's second half of the season will provide more than 10 TDs for Randy. This will go well with Randy's rookie TD reception record from 1998 of 17 scores. Those milestones will really complement the Super Bowl rings that I expect these gents will have, come next February. Not to mention the 19-0 season and playoff record that they will produce.
How will I get through the next 2 weeks with no Patriot games?!?
