y tie Vikings 10-6 (And there!)
tie Green Bay 10-6 (and mostly I went THERE!) Tie Breaker goes to the Vikings who beat Green Bay TWICE, and the Packers miss the playoffs completely.
My reasoning against pats is, the corners that made them formidable last year are gone, and the interior of their o line is pathetic.
the Cards' ceiling is low with a aging Carson Palmer.

I can't stand saying "yeah, but" for a win in the NFL, but iirc, there was a bizarre string of events that led to their impressive record before Carson went down.
I guess we'll see.

Brady is the ultimate system creation. The one constant throughout his pro career has been very good line play. If he has a clean pocket and good receivers he is absolutely deadly and he almost always does. On the extremely rare occasions when he doesn't he becomes worse than ordinary very quickly. His 2 SB losses the Giants defense was able to get significant pressure with a 4 man rush and he was ineffective. The Ravens have eliminated them in the postseason based on the same formula.Obviously Seattle was so banged up in the front 4 and secondary they were a shell of themselves last Feb. Had they been as healthy as 48 we wouldn't ever have to talk about a yard.If the Dolphins and Bills can collapse the pocket they could both be tough on NE this season.And Brady will be treated like the cheater he is by fans anywhere but Gillette stadium as well.
Pittsburgh was pathetic on defense last night so it wasn't much of a measuring stick for this years Pats offense but the times Pittsburgh got free runners they disrupted Brady.Their OC must be getting lessons from Bevfool based on that trick play call as well. Honestly Pittsburgh could have won the game quite easily without all the unforced mistakes. I did root for them for the first time in 10 years though.
