Very lovely, thank you .

Well...atleast in my "fantasy world" there's a difference between "I predict" and "I think they can" (Y) . And there's a difference between "beatable" and "sure win" (Y) . As to "Dumbing down the playbook" the Patriots don't run particularly complicated plays for one thing...and he is very familiar with the playbook...He may not know it as well as someone who's been doing it for 7 years, but he doesn't have to be to do what they need him to do...And Brady wasn't a starter or impact player in college either . Beating the Chargers (whose best defensive player is out for the season), Colts and Steelers will be "difficult" as I already stated...But it wouldn't take a "miracle" to beat them with the tools they have. If they can stop the run (which they can do without a miracle) the Chargers and Steelers are both "beatable". I haven't seen Brady or Cassel in a 3-point stance lately...The only team it would take a "miracle" for them to beat is the Cowboys (who they don't even play ) . I didn't even say "beatable" by 30 point victories and 4th down passes from the goal line with a minute left in a blowout, but beatable by 1 or more points in isolated situations...If you want to go through those individual scenarios where I use the word "BEATABLE" and explain why they aren't "BEATABLE", bring it on . And the weight of their world doesn't rest on Cassell... 1. He struggled in pre-season primarily because he wasn't even allowed to take snaps with the starters in practice previously...Obviously that will change now...and completing 13/18 without it...how much worse can you get with it . 2. They CAN and will run the ball more and having a more ballanced attack will ease some of the pressure. 3. He's moble. 4. He can make all the throws he needs to make. He can throw the ball 40 or more yards, which is enough to get it to Moss (Y). He can throw it 5 yards which is enough to get it to Welker . 5. The attention Moss draws from defenses opens up the field for short passes, which are a novice quarterback's best friend (Y) . 6. He's got a great line to stand behind (Y) . 7. He won't be the least talented quarterback that has driven the legnth of the field with Moss and has better resources than most of them . 8. They already have a defensive mastermind at head coach and already have a good defense. This issue will most likely only cause him to upgrade the defense even more, which will take even more pressure from the offense (Y) . 9. As to Farve...I wouldn't barg TOO much about a 38 year old quarterback just yet...especially the way youngins are dropping like flies . And the "revamped" Dolphins still don't have as much to work with as the Patriots do. 10. There isn't a team in the league who has their combination of talent and financial flexibility to make key hires if need be (Y) .

I would have you to...make a 1,000 post thread .

I meant to type 11-13. I would have been surprised at the 15 WITH Brady just based on the guys they got rid of, but him being out now changes the outlook of free agent signing for the team in general. I didn't make PREDICTIONS, I say 11-13 to say they have enough to win 11 or more, but NOT 15. Chiefs Done Jets Barely beat the Dolphins...May not be a pushover...but Beatable. Dolphins Are the Dolphins . And Billichick knows how to attack Pennington's notoriously inconsistent and overall lack of armstregnth. 49ers Chargers Beatable Broncos Beatable Rams Colts The Bears did it with their defense and LESS offense...Bilichick can probably figure SOMETHING out by then...No guaranteee, but Beatable. Bills Beatable Jets Beatable Dolphins Beatable Steelers Likely loss, unless they shut down the run... Seahawks Hasselback is already having injury issues... Raiders Cardinals Beatable... Bills Beatable...

:woot: Thanks .

Yes, they do look different, especially the lips ...and the eyes...but anyway, Emma is nice too . BTW, she is British .

Oh, Candice McNeil .

Nice everyone . Who is the one with the square hair Play ?

Yeah...I think the way of things is someone disagrees with you on something, clicks on your name and reduces your rating or they may just think they are rating you fairly by giving you 4 stars and thus reducing your rating . Maybe if enough people give you 5 it will go back up , but I think everyone's vote only counts once . Either way...don't sweat it bud you're 5 stars with us . Please do not post images/thumbnails side by side totaling more than 600 pixels in width. Thanks! ~post edited by PinkCouture

Well...They have one of the easiest scheduiles in the league (like last year), the best receiver [Moss]in the league (and the double coverages and attention he draws from the secondary opens things up for the other recievers), the best or one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, a great defensive line, a defensive guru who's one of the best defensive minds ever for a head coach...Plus its not like they won the Super Bowl last year anyway , so pretty much just making the playoffs shouldn't be too far of a dropoff . I think they can win 11-14 games ...and who knows...maybe even lose the Super Bowl again .

Yeah, the target audience knows , especially since the average football fan reads SI . For the general audience, today's models aren't as well known to the general as those 80s and 90s ladies are...but it would probably help if they would let some of them talk . I know atleast Marisa from what I hear is a smart, down to earth woman, so I thought she could have maybe gotten a speaking role , but she does appear to be becoming well known anyways .

Me too .

They'll probably give Marjorie long extentions .

Oh Heather , I don't really understand Isis situation, but I won't make fun of her, your words just move my heart .

I saw her in a football commercial yesturday, guys .

Or...some unforseen terrible tragedy may have happened as a result as my grandmother would say at a time like this. Maybe turning it down was for the worst in some ways, but for the best in other ways, who can say . So its best not to spend much time regretting it. Its not like you're 58 , since its on your mind now, just go for it .
