The Patriots are the best coached team in the NFL but they always get the breaks to go their way.Of course,good teams always get the breaks
Yeah, the Patriots get all the breaks... like how for the past three weeks, their secondary has consisted of two undrafted free agents and a wide receiver turned cornerback. That's a huge break.
Good teams make their own luck, and they overcome breaks that go against them. People think the Pats get all the breaks because they forget the obstacles they successfully overcame.
The NFL is in great shape because of the tremendous TV contract which the NHL does not have
The NFL has a tremendous TV contract in large part because they have a level playing field in which a team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin has as much chance to be successful as a team based in New York City.
The Steelers?How many players have they lost over the years?
A lot. But I don't think they care much about the players they've lost over the years, because they find a way to overcome those obstacles most years.
If you like having teams turn over at 1/3 of their roster every year due to salary,then you like the NFL system
In the NHL, that's what... six or seven guys a year? That already happens to a lot of teams.
Why is Manning a choking dog?
1999 Playoffs vs. Tennessee - 19 of 43, 227 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, 19-16 loss
2000 Playoffs vs. Miami - 17 of 32, 194 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 23-17 loss
2002 Playoffs vs. NY Jets - 14 of 31, 137 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT, 41-0 loss
2003 Playoffs vs. New England - 23 of 47, 237 yards, 1 TD, 4 INT, 24-14 loss
Totals: 73 of 153 (47%), 795 yards, 2 TD, 6 INT, 0-4
The last four times the Colts have faced a moderately strong defense in the playoffs, Manning has folded like a cheap suit. The next big game he wins against a good team will be his first.
You guys have gotten very cocky up there
At this point, I'd say Patriots fans have a right to be a little cocky.
