3rd best team in the NFL OUT of the playoffs

[SBR_John]

All I can say is there has to be some Oakland fans saying Karma is a bitch.

You know Indy fans have to love it.

I'm a little PO'd because they would have been a fun matchup. I give them credit and a lot of respect too for playing hard when the chips were down.

Pats would of beat anyone

Tons of hot teams in playoffs

Should be great

pats are 3rd best in the nfl? are they even top 10?

[daggerkobe]

How are they 3rd best with a QB that hadnt even started a game in college or pros? They are lucky they won as many games as they did.

[ryanXL977]

they arent CLOSE to top 3
not close

top 10 yes, top 3, no way...............the best teams the pats played were chargers, colts, steelers and they lost to those 3 by a combined 46 pts..............the proof is in the pudding

[ryanXL977]

if they are top 10, then they are right on the edge. i guess they are above az for sure though

Pitt or Balts Defense would have exposed cassell bad.

Maybe Belichick will use this extra off time wisely brushing up on his video skills.

[yisman]

rofl, maybe 12th best. They're not even 3rd best in the AFC. More like 5th or 6th best.

They played a very weak schedule.

pittsburghs already did in the reg season, and in foxboro no less!
