Why are The New England Patriots so good? I tell you.

The way Bill Belichick runs the team is different then most teams in the NFL he plays his best players on special teams and not just the back ups. So that means that if a starter is better then anyone on the roster for a special teams assignment then they will get it. Because he wants his best players out on the field at every possible chance he gets. And that is really what makes them so good not because they spy or anything its the way the team is coached.

That and they got so many weapons there not enough men on defense to cover them.

If cover Moss, then got cover Welker, and then you got to cover Stallworth. And if somehow you manage cover them, out comes Laurence Maroney running the ball.

That's why the NFL's salary caps and saying how it creates better parady in the NFL is a load of garbage. The best players will go to the best teams, and are fine with taking lesser pay if it means winning championships and a Super-Bowl, because always re-sign for more money. That's what Moss did.

This fantasy that every team has a shot at a championship or making it to the Super-Bowl is just that, a fantasy. Teams like Lions, Cardinals, Rams, Saints, Falcons, Jets, Bills, Browns, Texans, Raiders, Titans, and Redskins will not have a shot at the Super-Bowl regardless.

Who are the Patriots?

La-li-lu-le-lo.

Sorry, I saw this thread and thought it was about Metal Gear Solid.

My bad. :)

This is the first playoff series I've missed in about five years because my love affair with cable tv ended rather badly mid last year. Groan....

They have excellent players at the right positions, a brilliant, if severely ethically challenged, coach, and that secret redzone weapon, Mike Vrabel.
