'07 Patriots .. Best ever ?

Anyone else get this feeling that this years Patriots may go down in history as the best team of my generation (I'm 36) ?

Yes. But time will tell.

"Best Ever" tags given in midseason usually don't turn out well. See 04' Oklahoma and 05' USC.

No, no. I'm not tagging them. They have alot of work ahead of them. It just "feels" like have something very, very special brewing.

If they win at Indy today, I'm not sure I could put up any reasonable argument against them being the best team I've ever seen.

Great team for sure but given their respective schedules, I'm not so sure that Indy hasn't been the more dominant team this season.

Whoever wins this game will have a good shot at this type of recognition.

I didn't even know the Patriots and Colts were playing today.

You'd think they would have talked about this game a little.

There have been other great teams, who let up off of the gas pedal after halftime.

This team is apparently not one of them.

Do they score a ton of points? Sure.

Are they running up the score? Sure.

That doesn't make them great, in my mind, it makes them punks.

There is no such thing as running up the score in professional athletics.

as for the best ever, I'll let you know after the Super Bowl. Until then they're not.

Between the 20's the Colts have been the better team today. Gotta make TD's in the NFL.

While I can see why some would claim that running up the score makes them punks, although I completely disagree with that, I can't imagine how scoring a ton of points doesn't make them great.

And, on a matter of opinion, people who ease up on their opponents in professional sports are more despicable than people who try as hard as they can no matter what the situation is.

Wow, looks like the officials really don't want the Patriots to win this game.

The Colts have flat out been the better team up to this point. If the Pats are the better team over the last 20 minutes, they will win.
