"TOM BRADY WILL WIN BECAUSE I LIKE HIM" -- MY MOM

[Pentegarn]

Is it just me or is that something like every mom would say. My mom used to make declarations like that involving the Broncos. Then they would lose. The one year she didn't, they beat Green Bay.

Mom logic, what can you do?

Pats 27
Giants 17

and that is my prediction for the final score in the superbowl. I was disappointed to see green bay lose. it would've been cool to see a rematch of pats vs packers from the 1996 superbowl in which brett favre and reggie white destroyed the pats. but the giants looks good, too, even without jeremy shockey. pats will take it all.

I love how everyone was bashing Maroney during the season for missing 4 games and that the Pats needed to draft McFadden. I would say judging from his last five performances that the Pats' running game is just fine.

pats didnt have much of a running game in the start of the season, not that it mattered because of their passing game plans, the hurry up offense and their schemes have been phenomenal. i think other teams have underestimated their offense because several receivers like stallworth, gaffney and welker simply came out of nowhere and destroyed corner backs. but now that a lot of teams have figured out their offense tactics and started double teaming receivers especially moss, lawrence maroney has really stepped up big in the last few games when the running game was needed.

I think you forgot to mention Chad Jackson. He's a gamechanger and a big reason why the Pats are on the verge of perfection.

What bothers me about all of the negative talk about the running game was that early to mid season the pundits were claiming that Maroney couldn't hack it and that last season's numbers were a result of splitting carries with Dillion. He was a damn good back in college (better than Marion Barber) and he's a damn good back in the NFL. It's just irks me that people are finally realizing this.
