I think the Pats are just trying to hype themselves up. I think they've gotten a little comfortable knowing the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins collectively offer real competition for the division title like once every 3 or 4 years. The Pats have finished less than 2nd only once in the last ten years! And they won the division 7 of those other 9 years! I think that's equally their dominance as it is the weakness of the rest of the division. My point is, they're not THAT concerned about beating us. Of course everyone wants to win every game, but I doubt they want it bad enough to risk injury or preview some plays they were saving for the playoffs.

respectfully, but completely disagree. The Pats from the head coach down are an ego organization. They had a chance to stop 3 teams that were undefeated this season and preserve their 16-0 run from 2007. But the Broncos beat them, and then they loss like fools on national tv to of all teams, the Colts. A game they feel they should have won but not for a risking coaching decision.

Denver of course got beat soon after but the Colts are still out there and so are we. They have a shot Monday night to do a few things: 1. Prove they are still the "Pats" and knock off a/the top team in the NFL on the road. 2. Maintain a shot at catching Cin to get a bye week in the playoffs. 3. Help preserve their 2007 historical run.

The Pats want this game bad, so do we. As always it will come down to who executes. WHO-DAT!
