I'm stuck watching this game because I'm at my parents house. How bad are Simms and Nantz? These 2 are driving me up a wall with how annoying they are.
i like simms and nantz or almost any other pairing cbs has to offer. i like buck and aikman on fox too, but most of fox's other announcers are flat out horrible.
anyways, the pats played like garbage in the 2nd half. the dolphins changed their defensive scheme around (or so it seemed), but the pats couldn't do much of anything.
15 down, 1 to go then the real season starts. the giants game on saturday night should be interesting now that the giants have clinched a playoff spot. does plaxico sit out to get an extra week of rest on the ankle?
Pats-Giants to be first three-network simulcast game in NFL history
The New England Patriots' shot at history Saturday night will be available for every household in the country with a television after months of wrangling.
The game against the New York Giants, in which the Patriots could become the first NFL team to go 16-0 in the regular season, was originally scheduled to be shown only on the NFL Network, which is available in fewer than 40 percent of the nation's homes with TVs.
The league announced Wednesday that the NFL Network feed will be simulcast on NBC and CBS. It's a major concession by league officials, who repeatedly said they would not show the game anywhere but the NFL Network. The NFL had faced mounting pressure from lawmakers in recent weeks to make the game available to more viewers.
Local TV affiliates in the Boston, Manchester, N.H., and New York areas who were already set to simulcast the game under NFL policy will still air it.
The NFL has feuded with major cable companies, who have declined to carry the network as part of basic packages.
"We have taken this extraordinary step because it is in the best interest of our fans," commissioner Roger Goodell said. "What we have seen for the past year is a very strong consumer demand for NFL Network. We appreciate CBS and NBC delivering the NFL Network telecast on Saturday night to the broad audience that deserves to see this potentially historic game. Our commitment to the NFL Network is stronger than ever."
This will be the first three-network simulcast in NFL history and the first simulcast of any kind of an NFL game since the first Super Bowl in 1967, when CBS and NBC both televised the first meeting of the champions of the newly merged National Football League and American Football League.

Like CBS/NBC are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts
Advertisement MONEY have anything to do with it ?!?!?!?
I have the NFL Network I was 50/50 on watching the game
My drinking team has a hockey problem
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers

would nbc and cbs get any advertising money from a simulcast? i would have to guess they would.
here in boston the game will be on the nfl network (if you have it) and was going to broadcast on the abc affiliate and now cbs and nbc.
i wonder why cbs AND nbc. i could see if it was just cbs because they show afc games, but then why would fox not get it? unless they were offered and passed. nbc does sunday night football, but then why not espn unless they were in the same boat as fox. i would think that they would have just showed it on one major network and not two. either way it is pretty cool. not like anything else is on saturday night.

It is interesting as to why just those 2 networks
I think if it was an NFC team FOX would be on board
Maybe the NFL took money from the Networks to broadcast it ?
We're going out to dinner that night, maybe we'll watch it

from what i've read this morning apparently cbs and nbc initiated the request with the nfl a couple weeks ago...so i guess that's why just those two networks.
I just hope that if they go 19-0 with a Super Bowl title, that will shut Mercury Morris' mouth up. Stupid old hack, still talking smack even when everybody knows the '72 Dolphins had a soft schedule.
Damn, where's everybody? The Patriots Machine keeps on a rolling.
Has anybody noticed how ESPN has been on The Patriots Jock all week?
Every moment or comment has been on the Patriots, just seems a bit overboard to me.

Just going to throw this out there....A team that can't run the ball or stop the run might have problems later.
using that school of thought, there's no doubt that Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and San Diego all match up pretty well with the Pats (and obviously the Colts do). but it's a matter of keeping it together for 60 minutes and not giving up the big play. Plus, somebody has to force Brady into turnovers. be it with constant blitzing or someone sticking a shiv in his thigh.

If the Pats have to play the Jags on an unusual balmy January day I say watch out. This isn't about hating on the Pats which is usually the kind of response I expect. This is about the Pats having a legit weakness. NE is an awesome team there is no doubt, but no NE fan could convince me that they think they are just going to stroll into the SB at this point. If NE has to deal with Fred Taylor/Jones-Drew on one of their good days it might not be so easy. I don't think they even need to force Brady into turnovers. As long as a team can win time of possesion, sustaining long drives, just keeping Brady off the field is enough. Brady can't burn you if he is standing on the sideline. It would suck to go 16-0 then get your ass kicked in the playoffs.
Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
As a Giant fan, they (The Giants) played much better than I thought they would. The 2 nd Moss TD (could've been 2 in a row there) and Manning's awful clock management inside 2 1/2 minutes were the backbreakers. Congratulations on 16-0. I'm just glad my team made them earn it
at no point in the season did i think the pats would lose. not during the philly game, not during the balt game, not tonight...
i was watching the game tonight with a guy who wasn't all that into football and he said numerous times from the 2nd quarter on...they aren't going to win.
i just kept saying. when they want to score...really want to score, they will. if they need the defence to get the ball for their offense, they will.
all that came true...again.
i'm all about the '85 bears being the best team...before this. these pats, assuming they win the superbowl, are the best...ever!
for you dolphin fans who don't agree...ever see the record of the teams the 'fins played? a joke. that team isn't even a top ten superbowl team.
like i said, i'm a bears fan and while most everyone talks about the bears D that year, the offense was pretty damn efficient. while the pats D isn't what the bears had, the overall team is just better. wish i didn't say it, but it's the truth.
i hope the pats go 19 and 0. if for no other reason than to stop the champaign popping senior citizens who are the '72 fins.
I've been hearing a lot lately about those 72 fins getting together every year to pop some champagne when the last undefeated team falls. I always thought that was a joke, or a metaphor. Do they really do that?

they DO do it!
with everything that's going on, they're trying to mask it, but it's an annual thing for them.
GREAT...THE LAST UNDEFEATED TEAM LOST....WE'RE SPECIAL!
such a joke. such egos. if anyone ever looked back at that team, they beat NOBODY all year.
if i remember correctly, the combined winning percentage of the teams they beat was like 46%. a joke they're ever mentioned in the same sentence as the greats.
just a bit of research and some objective thinking and you'll quickly come to this conclusion.

I'm not worried about their running game...it's the defense I'm concern.
