Go Patriots! Go Jets?

God decided to give the New England Patriots a break last Sunday. Seeing as how they'd be playing for their proverbial playoff lives at home versus the potent passing offense of the Arizona Cardinals He decided to hit the area with a snowstorm and more than a foot of snow. The Cardinals passing offense was fucked and since they don't have much of a rushing offense to speak of everything was coming up roses for the Pats. Once the game began it was evident that Kurt Warner was about t0 have a nightmare game as he could only manage a quick three and out. The Patriots promptly marched down the field and punched it in the end zone. I thought to myself "Hopefully, they can keep it up!". Sheeeeit!

The Patriots took advantage of the adverse weather conditions and orchestrated successful drive after successful drive against the ill prepared Arizona defense. Their (Arizona's) impotent offense made it all the more easy and the New England Patriots turned the game into a laugher by the end of the 1st quarter. Sam Cassel had one hell of a game by going 20-36 for a whopping 345 yards through the air when the other team couldn't even stay on the field. The Patriots dominated the time of possession by holding it for 38:35 to Arizona's 21:25. The score was 44-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The fans had one hell of a time in Gillette Stadium as they threw snow all around and some drunken asshole even tackled Junior Seau.

The game turned into a 47-7 mouthraping and that was just because Matt Leinart threw a touchdown in the 4th quarter. The Miami Dolphins managed to pull out a close one in Kansas City to stay atop the AFC East but the Jets took an L versus the Seattle Seahawks in Mike Holmgren's farewell game in Seattle. Now here comes an odd scenario, in order for the New England Patriots to make the postseason and avoid the embarrassment of being an 11-5 team that goes nowhere they have to finish off the Buffalo Bills @ 1PM on Dec. 28th and then watch the Miami Dolphins play the New York Jets...and hope that Brett Favre shows up. Patriots Nation will be rooting for the hated New York Jets en masse...scary thought.

I really hope that this season doesn't end for the Pats at around 8PM next Sunday because that would suck sooo fuckin' much. Provided that this season didn't turn out the way that I (or the majority of Patriots fans) hoped this team has persevered and showed some serious drive and determination despite losing many of it's key players and stars to injury. If Bill Belichick doesn't get some serious consideration in light of these facts then something is seriously wrong. I guess there's nothing left to say but "Let's go Jets!".

To make things even more retarded, if the Patriots win @ 1 PM the Jets can opt to tank the game versus the Dolphins to keep the Patriots out of the playoffs, in which case we'd all have to hope that the Baltimore Ravens drop their game against Jacksonville so they can be in the postseason. I'm gonna have the biggest fuckin' headache next Sunday...where the fuck is Chinballs?

One.
