Massive game in the AFC east, AFC and the league really this week, Us and the Jesters on Monday Night Football, It`s another game either team could win (seems to be the norm for us Pats this year from my point of view) the only game I was confident of winning we lost ( Browns ) , Jim Leonard is a big loss for the Jets IMO, I am confident we can put points on the board as usual, but again I dont know what our Defense will do, we are a young unit who is a going to be great in the next few years(again IMO ), but at the moment we are very hit or miss, some spectacular plays mixed in with some crap TBH.

My head says Sanchez crumbles under the pressure and we win by 10+, my heart says just scrape a win and get the hell out of Foxboro!

Bring it on!!!

Carpe diem

looking at the NFC playoff picture, it seems stupid that a possible 7-9 team could make the playoffs in place of a much better team.

Unfortunately that is what you get from the NFC West.

It's the rules and it's right that the NFC West send a team to the playoffs.

The Chargers went to the playoffs with an 8-8 record and beat the much fancied Colts. They went into the playoffs with a 13-3 record last year and lost to the Jets.

It does seem daft, but I guess thats the rules.

I remember us going 11-5 the year Brady was injured and we didnt even get a wildcard spot! Now that was a kick in the bollox

This thing about a team with a losing record making the playoffs wouldn't be an issue if it was one of the media darlings who was involved. If it was the NFC East, for example, nobody would even bother bringing it up.

It's a one-off - next year the Rams should be even better, San Francisco might finally get their act together and maybe if Arizona gets a decent QB they might actually be able to compete again. Teams don't stay weak forever - we just happen to have most in the division in that 'transition' period.

Bingo!

Am I getting a bit too giddy? Thinking of starting Danario Alexander ahead of Breaston, Nelson and Moss in fantasy land.

I picked up and started Alexander the game after he made his debut earlier in the season when he caught a TD. I think he got about 1 catch for 6 yards

May have to make the most of 2010, fresh doubt now....

rlNFLPA advises "save last three pay packets, they may be needed"rl

I'm also giving some serious thought to benching Ray Rice

I hope they sort something out, I would be lost without the NFL for a year *

Bloody hard betting this week. Only one I've found that I fancy is Chicago -5 at the Lions.
