I defend my Patriots No. 3 seeding, and bash myself at the same time. Awesome.

Walter, NE wasn't drunk or high, they simply were matched up poorly vs. PHI and BAL...both teams have very good offensive lines and great defensive backfields...recipes to beat hte Patriots.

The Steelers lack a good defensive backfield and their line is average. It's why they blew them out.

[Walter]

You don't match up poorly against Kyle Boller if you're a good team.

The 49ers nearly beat the Ravens.

Thats not true.

Just typical fan thinking Walter.

QBs get too much credit and too much blame.

[Walter]

That's a horrible cliche to use in this instance. The Patriots looked bad BECAUSE BOLLER AND FEELEY PLAYED WELL.

Besides the Patriots game, give me one instance where Kyle Boller played well against a good defense this year?

The Patriots don't have a good defensive backfield and their LBers are slow...Ravens and Eagles simply exploited it.

Also, like I said the Eagles and Ravens both have very good offensive lines and they did a great job blocking New England's pass rush.

Other than those two reasons, my guess is Boller and Feeley played well because, what do they have to lose? They are playing the Patriots, they are expected to lose. There is less pressure when your season is already over and you are trying to ruin the other team's perfect season.

It doesn't matter if the Pats looked bad against those guys because they are PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS!!!! Just because they are in the NFL doesn't mean they suck. Pats are a gamer team, they step up in big games. They might have took those guys for granted, who knows.

Thank you...

That's exactly why I ranked them third.

You just proved my point for me :-)

Yes, but they hide this by generating a very good pass rush and using their scheme which makes their defense one of the best in the NFL. :|

[Walter]

One of the best defenses in the NFL gives up 24+ to both Feeley and Boller in back-to-back weeks? Doubtful.

[gq4ever]

OK, here are two recent games agaist the pass for the Cowboys, not that steller. Rodgers wasn't even a full game.

com/att yrd td int

A. Rodgers 18/26 201 1 0

J. Campbell 33/54 348 2 1

Oh man, I don't even remember what my point was. Oh well there are some stats anyhow LOL.

[Walter]

LOL... Well, we have no idea if Rodgers is good, and I think Jason Campbell is a solid player. But the Boller and Feeley are much worse.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

I didn't mind the Pats getting moved down to number 3 b/c they currently weren't playing like the number one team. They proved they're number one again against the Steelers and now they're back on top... what's the big deal?

when was the last time Brett Favre had a backup who WASN'T good?...

[starqb14]

crimeny, even Doug Pederson lit it up for the 15 plays of relief he got. I believe that game was against washington when arrington twisted favre's knee before the bye week.
