Patriots Rout Bills To Improve To 10-0

There most definitely will be the rest of the way until Bill Belichick's team loses.

It's been an impressive run so far, and it doesn't look as though it will end any time soon.

Their toughest regular game remaining is with the Steelers, and I doubt the Steelers will be up to the challenge.

They'll probably face the Colts again though, and though I give the nod to the Pats in that one, you can't count the Colts out till it's all over.

All that being said, the 2001 season was more fun to watch with all the parity in the league, so in a way, I'm glad they lost a 1st round pick next year.

Yup, the Jets loss is why I get the feeling the Pats' remaining biggest regular season challenge won't be much of one.

Just like the Bills, who won 4-straight, and looked pretty good, got shellacked.

Pressure on Manning would pretty much seal a victory for the Pats versus the Colts. In the 24-20 win, they were a few mishandled balls, and missed opportunities from 45-20, so the Colts need to get everything right to stay in it, and they need to Pat's to make some mistakes to win it.

It's a weird feeling though, with them so overpowering that they're expected to win every game. If they win, the reactions are *yawn* "ran-up-the-score,", "cheaters," etc. If they lose, it'll be a huge upset and a big let down.

I liked it much better when the result was more in doubt. This is fun for one season, but I really hope we're not getting back to days like when the Niners used to destroy everyone and gave us blow-out Superbowls.
