Another great display from the Pats. First half was a bit ropey then Bill had a "word", second half 27-0 and total dominance.
Versus Miami? Big deal. You lot really have the most piss-easy division in the AFC by a massive margin.

Bengals got their asses kicked by the Browns a month ago at home - yesterday they shut out Cleveland 30-nil away. I am appropriately confounded.

We have Denver and Pittsburg still to endure - Pats have NYJ shoo-in and Bills at home (should also be a walk-over) - lucky bds.

Jesus Christ that was awful. If the Bills had an offense to speak of it would have been a walloping.
Yep. Miserable game from start to finish. On the plus side, I can see Detroit @ GB being the NFC North decider now, which keeps things exciting. I do worry about our road form though should we make the playoffs.

Weird old season this one.

Not as decisive a win for the Ravens as I'd have expected given they were playing the Jags but a win is a win and it keeps the wildcard playoff hopes alive for another week.

Bengals? Against Johnny Benchwarmer? C'mon Matt get realistic. The fking blind girls school would have beaten the Browns yesterday. hehe

We've already beaten Denver, by 20 points. Oh and the Colts in Indy - that's the Colts who shut out your sorry mob 27-0. We went to Indy and put 42 points on them - that's 42 points more than the hapless Bengals managed. And I seem to remember us thrashing your lot by 26 points a few weeks ago.

Miami are a pretty decent team, so are the Bills. It's just that nobody comes to fortress Foxborough and leaves with a win. biggrin

Actually I wasn't comparing New England with the Bengals - merely stating what a breeze the AFC East is and has been for the last few years. Having zero threat from the other teams in your division is a luxury unavailable to any other AFC team - that's what I was stating.

Miami's record this season is the same as Cleveland's 7-7 - so, pretty decent team or also blind girl fodder?

Tannehill has a big arm and the Dolphins really hate us... One of my customers is a coach in Miami. He told me that everything they do is done with the aim of beating the Patriots.

Both Buffalo and Miami are decent teams but I do accept that the North is a tough division this year.

Patriots net points record is 51 points better than the next best team in the NFL.........

And Seattle put up another monster offensive display hehe

It's currently doing just enough to let the defense do its thing.
It wasn't exactly bad though, was it!

Defence wins games (and nobody proves that more than the Seahawks).

Quite nice to have dreadful play calling on our side for once as well smile

Very confident we will get the #1 seed.

The mistake by the lake.

Awesome win for Cincinnati tonight - a few crunch-game demons exorcised. Peyton on his ass and picked so often, an added bonus.
Great Xmas gift for me. Who Dey!

Just back from the bengals game. Feckin wet, but it was a brilliant one to watch. Bengals did well to turn that second half around as it looked ominous for a while.

As a Pats fan I was rooting hard for the Bengals but I thought they were going to find a way to blow it. Still, they prevailed and my boys can have a rest next Sunday.

The road to the Super Bowl runs through Foxborough. biggrin

Cowgirls at Lambeau is going to be fantastic. I'd like to say it should be totally one sided but honestly I think they could give the Pack a decent fight in their current form.
Credit to them, they did brilliantly to claw that game back in the 4th, but they're still making some massive mistakes.

Really, really hope we see another Icebowl though.
