The New England Patriots are 12-2 and are one win away from obtaining home field advantage and a first-round bye in the 2010-2011 playoffs. Tom Brady has not lost in Foxboro in 27 consecutive games, the longest active streak. Many critics had the Patriots finishing at 8-8 and 9-7. Once again Bill Belichick silenced everyone. He has turned Danny Woodhead into a super star and the Law Firm into a legitimate running back. The Randy Moss era is over and the Patriots are playing as they did in the "Dynasty" years. Deion Branch has filled in nicely not as trying to be Randy Moss, but trying to be himself and trying to help this team win football games. The two tight end offense gives opposing defenses the chills because Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski create mismatches to almost anyone. Many believed that Wes Welker would have no value once Randy Moss left. Well, those people are wrong again! Wes is on way to another 100 reception season as well as seven touchdowns as of week 16. Many also believed he would not be back until week six. Welker opened the season on the field with a two touchdown effort. The defense has shown flashes of brilliance as well as dreadfulness, but they are a young core and are learning game by game. They may let up the most yards in football, but over the past five weeks Belichick has them playing the best football they have played all season. The Patriots look like they can cruise to a 14-2 season, but again this has been a crazy season and anything can happen. You do not need to tell this Patriots team that, they are all business all the time under coach Belichick. Look for this team in Dallas, book your flights while they are cheap!
