Halfway AFC seeds

[BOTT]

Isn't that cute. Dusty's sisters coming to his defense. I applaud you girls.

No, people simply don't like you because you are a nauseating blowhard/internet braggart. Not to mention a complete homer

[TAPLOOK]

As compared to shirtless, black tights, and cowboy boots Dusty?

Your right. Neither is a pretty picture for sure.

Wow. Such anger. Did I call you a name? Did I call anyone in your family a name? Did I call anyone a name? Stay classy Blood.

[TAPLOOK]

It's not bad.

So lets make sure I have this right? The Colts O "is not bad" but the Patriots is "not very good" according to you . You do know the Patriots have better O stats right? Please delve deeper into your theory.

[BOTT]

It wasnt said in anger. I simply call it as I see it.

[amfootball]

Because they're bad.

What has happened to you? You are always Mr. Stat man and yet when I post the Pats are ranked 9, you come back with they are bad? Is that all you got for a team that has a top 10 offense?

You should get your eyes checked.

I shouldn't have to explain why putting up a 55 point, 600 yard game against one of the worst teams in the NFL kind of skews those stats and is an anomaly in otherwise terrible season for New England's offense.

False. I never said their offense was "not very good". I said it was bad.

Actually the Jags are by far the worst team in the league and I'm pretty sure the Colts O didn't hang 55 on them but they'll get another chance to "skew those stats".

[-JJ-]

Hey lots of friendly funny jabs in here but the personal insults got to stop.

Don't make me lock my own thread and wreck it

I don't fear the Broncos as a #1 seed as much as I fear the Pats. So, as a Colts fan, I'd root for the Broncos to beat the Pats and Colts to beat Bengals.

 

So, common opponents with a minimum of 4 is a tie-breaker for the 2 teams (Colts, Patriots) not in the same division should we both have 3 losses for AFC seeding. That would mean we beat the Texans, Bengals and Broncos but lost to Dolphins while the Pats would have beaten the Dolphins and Texans but lost to Broncos and Bengals.

 

We will see how things go.

I dunno- Bronco's still got the fire power. I can see fearing the Pats not because they're great this season but because they are gritty which can make them dangerous.

That fire power isn't going away but it's not as overpowering as it was earlier. Gritty is a good word for the Patriots. Fire power just missed getting them to the top but gritty has worked before.

Also hung 34 on Seattle.

That's almost 55.

Way more than the 6 the Patriots put on Cincy.

But only some personal insults get removed....odd

But close to the 9 the Colts put on SD.

Go figure? I think JJ understands the difference between humor and insults. Keep it real Blood.

It wasn't humor. You lobbed it as an insult then played the "how dare you" card.......that's definitely keeping it real.

[Dustin]

But close to the 9 the Colts put on SD.

I would say it's closer to the 13 the Patriots put up vs the Jets.

[-JJ-]

I would say it's closer to the 13 the Patriots put up vs the Jets.

Put up 13 for the win and put up 27 for the loss. Guess I'll take the 13

Are you my wife?  What did I lob and what "how dare you" card did I play? (honey I know you're somewhere in Eastern Europe but lets talk when you get home)

Ouch...you got me Dusty. I didn't think I'd go out like this cough, cough, cough please tell the wife and kids I love them cough (Eyes open, head drop to the side, dead).

[TAPLOOK]

As usual, a conversation with you is pointless

 

 

You are my wife! Honey this is the best joke you've every pulled on me. I love you.

Is THAT what you are using for your basis of them being bad on O? The Pats put up 30 points TWO times this season and then 27, 27, 23, 23. Their only poor offensive games were week 2 vs the Jets where they put up 13 and the Bengals where they put up 6. But I suppose it is convenient for you to toss out the Pitt game when the Pats finally had all of their offensive weapons back and in game form. If this team stays healthy what you saw vs the Steelers will be more the norm heading down the stretch.

Subtract defensive tds.

You are really reaching here. Why? You know the Pats O is not bad. Far from it. And if Pats history has taught us anything, this team gets better as the season moves along. For fun go look up the Pats record from Thanksgiving on the last 10 years or so.

Nah they're bad. 20th in offensive dvoa before last game.

[braveheartcolt]

This is the worst looking Patriots team I've seen in the last 10 years. At this point. It can change for sure.

Typical Pats detractor, has to throw out games so your point makes sense. lol.

 

This is all that matters anyways:

Before their 13-game win streak in December was snapped by a Week 15 loss to San Francisco, the Patriots set a franchise record and became just the second team in NFL history to accomplish the final-month feat. (Only the 2006-09 Chargers’ 18 straight wins were better.) But their success in December goes back to the start of the Tom Brady era. Since 2001, the Patriots are an NFL-best 43-6 in December. No other team has more than 36 December wins during that time.

What does wins have to do with my point?

[amfootball]

Sure and yet 7-2. The Pats last year were 6-3 after nine games.

[amfootball]

I already debunked your point every which way. I was on to the real discussion about AFC seeds and your belief that the Pats will not represent the AFC in the conference champ game. Their Dec record says they will be right there.
