3 more games to glory...

Sunday was spent watching the Patriots manhandle the Jets. A classic struggle of master vs apprentice with Belichick taking Mangini to school - you may have spent your career training under this guy but it doesn't mean he taught you everything. My favorite moment was Wilfork's lumbering run towards the endzone - he was caught just shy of the promised land.

The Patriots have so much confidence in the playoffs you'd have to be nuts to bet against them. I know San Diego won big against us last year, but it wasn't the playoffs when the Pats season really starts. I'll take Tom Brady over Philip Rivers every time.

As for the other games, nobody came out like the Patriots and made a statement. The Colts were flat on offense although their defense finally returned from hiatus. As for the other games, they were a mess. You gotta feel for Romo though. If the kicker had made any attempt to block for him, he would have gotten the first down if not the TD. I was kinda hoping for a Cowboys Patriots Superbowl, with Big Bill vs Little Bill, and Bledsoe having to take over for an injured Romo. Would have made a great story
