I've seen several people list the Pats as overated and could someone just please explain how this could be?

Jealousy or stupidity.

Or maybe both?

The thing people have to remember about being overrated is that it's a relative term. I don't dispute that they are a vey good team. But I do think this "best team ever" talk is wholly premature, based on the teams they've thrashed thus far.

I think the Capitol Police football team are underrated and the Members of Congress team are overrated.

I'm glad we did our part to roll over and add to the legend. If I had any inkling it was going to be like this, I wish we'd have been having a 2-14 season and NOT been a high ranked defense up till now. As it stands, our failure finally gives them a seemingly legitimate win over a team that on paper was a superb defense.

Has there ever been a better time to be a Colts fan?

Well today was the worst beating the Skins have endured in my lifetime. For this 8 game stretch, this is easily the best all-around team I've ever seen. For crying out loud, their average margin of victory must be somewhere around 24 ppg after today!!!

I'm eating a lot of crow right now, for sure. I would not have posted that had I really thought that we would allow them to score more than 4 TD's at most. But I really don't think anybody expected the complete desecration that occurred today.

All I can say is that the Patriots went from a team I didn't particularly pay attention to or care about to a team I deeply loathe and despise, more so than the Cowboys, Ravens, or even the Iggles (!)

Overrated: How about Marvin Lewis? A lot of people said the Redskins should have named Lewis the head coach and not Spurrier but look at him now. Running a team of delinquents to a 2-5 record. He's headed for, at best, another run of the mill 8-8 record

Underrated: Buffalo Bills. They just need to settle on a QB

I don't know, I'd still take Marvin Lewis over a lot of other teams out there. Especially given all the talk about guys with class in the Belichick thread.

Marvin has a problem with the inmates running the asylum over in Cincy, but you have to have every reason to believe that's as much on the team ownership as it is the coach. Rarely does the coach get to clean house and institute martial law on a team.

At any rate, I believe the Bengals would probably be close to undefeated if they played in the NFC, and we'd maybe have one win if we were in their division. Right now the Browns and Ravens would crush us easily to say nothing of the Steelers.

You can put the Skins in that category now.

Anyone still have pipe dreams of winning a superbowl this season?

Overrated - Green Bay
Underrated - Denver

Anybody who really thought we could be in the Super Bowl this year was smoking something out of a bong, not a pipe.
