New England Patriots
It's rather nice of the New England Patriots to turn themselves into a wrecking crew in order to satiate the appetites of the football who have been underwhelmed by the parity in college football. The league has seen its fair share of menacing defenses and pass-happy offenses the last two decades, but has any team began a season running as thorough of a clinic on the rest of the league like the Patriots have done this season. What's scary about this Patriot's team is that they're not a one sided team like last year's Bears or the pre-Super Bowl Colts that only dominate games on one side of the ball. To put things in perspective their defense which is ranked amongst the top in the league has been operating without All-Pro defensive end Richard Seymour until today's game against Washington. And what happens as soon as Seymour returns, they defeat The Redskins by 45 points. Ironically enough the last team to manhandle the league in this fashion were the 1986 Bears, the team which defeated the franchise in that year's Super Bowl. While it still remains to be seen whether they can continue at this pace. In the meantime, pray that your team isn't on their schedule then sit back and watch history in the making.
