lol, it makes perfect sense.
By not being some blind fan thinking that your team will win every game, you can actually have a reasonable conversation with other sports fans. Unlike you, who just sounds like a clown all the time.

except I'm not even close to trolling the Pats thread. See, unlike you, I can talk about other teams with logical reasoning. I'm just trolling you because it's extremely hilarious. But I'll stop because it seems like you can't even fathom trolling, let alone another team maybe being better then the Patriots

Wow, the hostility. Must be because I called your team pathetic. I guess that was a bit harsh. I'm sorry if I hurt your fragile feelings. And although I run the risk of hurting your feelings again let me be the first to tell you that you are REALLY far from logical on this forum.
So you know, I currently believe that the Colts and Saints are most likely better teams than the Pats. However, if the pats played either one tomorrow I would go into the game thinking that the Pats would win. I realize this doesn't make sense but that's what being a fan of sports is all about. You don't have to make sense when rooting for your team. This is a diversion to everyday life and you make of it whatever you like. That's the only way it should be.

The Pats are a very good team that have run bad. They're likely the either the 2nd or 3rd best team in the AFC, but they're digging themselves a hole that will make it tough to get out of in the playoffs.

I'm gonna go one step further,
75% they make the playoffs, 50% chance of winning the 1st game, possibly 65% possibly 35% depending on whether they are the WC or the div champs, about 25% to beat the bye team, about 25% to beat the other bye team.
Between 2 and 3%, not impossible, but not likely at all

Obviously those numbers go up if they start to play a lot better, and if they win some of those games, then it means they are playing better, but still I don't see it being higher than 5% and definitely not higher than 7 or 8

Re: New England Patriots
also, unless NE's loss is against Carolina (in which case it will come down to a coinflip) then the Dolphins will have the 4th tiebreaker (1st 3 would be even)

the patriots won 11 games last year w/one of the softest schedules in the league. they will win 10 or 11 games this season having played one of the hardest

lol dude, you really are pathetic. it's hilarious. I should keep it up to get more comedic answers out of you.
My logical sense >x10000 from you on this forum
And LOL that you think 2 teams are "most likely better" Funny how one of them is the Colts, yet last week all you did was pimp how you think Pats > Colts.
I guess if I want to talk to Pats fans, I'll talk to Toro or KB4Z. Until then, keep having your fantasies of the Pats in the Superbowl

I love you too, Debo.
Keep supporting your team, my man. I like the passion. One day the Jets just might win something. Probably not though.
How much of a fantasy would you have thought it was in 01? I was the one laughing at the end of that one. And I will be again. I love football, such a great diversion. Especially when I can argue with yahoos like you. So enjoyable.

I really do believe in this team. Now, if they lose in horrible fashion to CAR at home this week, I think I'll have to take a gulp and chill out on the positivity but that certainly won't mean that I won't think they will win the next game and still have a chance in the playoffs. It's just the way I am. I can't be a fan any other way.

I used to be this way as a kid. All of us were who were Packers fans. "We'll get 'em next year." We also knew we were in for not going to super bowls but hope for playoffs. I mean you seemed as though you have the Pats the AFC's fave's right now!!!
