that they are the best team.

Yes they won big again today and this time in Dallas. However, Dallas it should be noted built their 5 - 0 record against teams with a 6 - 22 record, so one really has to question how good they are.

The Pats had no running game and Dallas showed that they can score on them.

The test for the Pats will be when they play the Colts in the RCA Dome.

Looking forward to it. I expect the Colts to beat them just as they did last year in the playoffs.

Re: The Patriots Still Haven't Convinced Me

You can only beat the teams you play and the Pats have looked really good in beating each of them.

I'd have to say that they're the best team in the league by a wide margin right now. But it's a long season and anything can happen.

Re: The Patriots Still Haven't Convinced Me

I think it was Chris Collinsworth who said that they are the best team ever right now. Some are convinced that they can run the table on their season. Interesting how they pick up several WRs in one haul, and the Lions can't do the same with several drafts and high draft huge contracts. I think they'll have the Colts number this season.

Well-run organizations are hard to come by. The Pats are so good that they've made almost everyone forget that they caught got red-handed cheating at the beginning of the season.

Buddha I hope it hurts when it finally sinks in. Pats are a juggernaut.

They haven't beaten a team this year with both a winning record and a winning record against teams with a winning record.

All the the teams they have beaten are turkeys. The combined record of the other teams in the AFC East is 3 - 13. Are you kidding me?

The Pats are the biggest over-hyped and over rated team in the NFL in decades.

Wait until after they play the Colts and Steelers before deciding if they are the best anything, except for "The Best Cheaters"

I figure that Tom Brady went to Michigan and they're not playing Appalachian State.....so they're money in the bank.

More than one bank in history has gone belly up bankrupt, when the going got tough.

Good luck with your savings.

Don't think for a moment that I am saying that the Pats aren't a very good team. They may yet go 19 - 0 this year. But so far they are a 7 - 0 team that has beaten nothing but garbage teams including Dallas, "America's Team" whose 5 - 0 record was built up against teams with a combined 6 - 16 record and right now is having their hands full at home with the 2 - 3 Vikings.

Next week they play the Skins at home, who whipped the Lions good, and are the first pretty good team that the Pats will have played all year. I am looking for a close game next week for the Pats though being at home is probably worth 7 - 10 points for them even against the Skins.

The top three teams in the NFL in no particular order are the

Steelers
Colts
Pats

Lets see what happens in Phoenix next Feb 3rd. The three best teams in the NFL are all in the AFC so I would venture to say whoever represents the AFC in Phoenix will win the Super Bowl next Feb 3rd.
