I gotta say-regardless of how far they go, I sure have enjoyed watching the Pats play this year. They aren’t heads and shoulders above anyone, but damn, they sure do play with as much pluck as they can muster with the personnel they have.

Wilfork. Kelly. Mayo. Spikes. Gronkowski. Vollmer.

Gone.

But they keep playing hard.

You know who I think is going to be a real, honest to goodness superstar? Jaime Collins. Which is great, because I don’t think we will see Spikes again in a Patriots uniform.

I really have enjoyed it, but I admit, I would like seeing them blow someone out once in a while, but that definitely ain’t in their character this year.

I had them pegged to win 12 games this year in the regular season, and hit it right on the money. I didn’t think they would get the second seed, but they did.

I am always the eternal optimist...I always think they have a chance to win every game they play in, but the realist realizes that they can also lose nearly every game they play in.

They just continue to surprise me.

I figured the PAts to be 14-2 this year never figured on this many injuries.

I think the PAts could lose, but I do believe they can certainly win the SB this year even in the depleted roster situation they find themselves in.

This Sat evening will be a very rainy night. I thik they can run or pass on the Colt D due to their injuries from last week .

I will be interested to see how the Donks and Manning fare against the Ron Burgandy’s. The wind is supposed to be blowing at 20 mph with gusts over 30. Manning is of course a HoF QB, however he doesn’t have the arm strength he had prior to his neck issues, he compensates by knowing when and where to through but this is much hardewr to do in the wind.

Other than the Seattle/NO game I expect the other to be very close.

Boy, did I call it right for Jaimie Collins last weekend, he had a big game.
