home field advantage might ironically cost NE the afc title, as they are a good, but not great running team when the pass is completely taken away from them (elements).
+1 -- playoff game in bad weather for the passing attack.

Reflecting on last night's game, it seems that the modern approach to NFL success is a potent-as-hell offense and a defense that's good against the pass (and not particularly against the run).  Get a lead, force the other team into catch-up mode, then lay back and play against the pass.  Even if the losing team runs the ball extremely well, time is their enemy -- they have to go to the air.

For the most part, the Pats win by ringing up a lead and forcing the other team's offense to become more or less one-dimensional, which greatly simplifies the task for the NE defense.  Take that potent-as-hell NE passing game away, though ... and I'm not so sure they win against a good team that doesn't rely so utterly on its own passing game for production.

I'm inclined to think that it would either be in the divisional playoff or championship game.  I don't see the Jets, Dolphins, or Giants winning.  On the other hand, I don't want to completely rule them out. Dunno 



Careful on that fence, sweetheart.

Yeah, but, if I had said "I'm not certain," would that have been as interesting to read? Wink

Besides, I did say that I thought it would probably be in one of the playoff games.  So I was a bit decided.  Not much, but a little bit. Cheesy

Didn't see her, but I was there for only a moment.  She was last logged in here at 04:09:03 p.m today, though, and her last post was just yesterday so I don't think there's any reason to worry yet.

Desperado, why dont you come to your senses?
You been out ridin fences for so long now.............

The sky wont snow and the sun wont shine
Its hard to tell the night time from the day
Youre loosin all your highs and lows
Aint it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado...........
