I'm from New England, and therefore have a biased opinion of my home team, but I want to know what football fans elsewhere think of the pats. Do you respect them? Do you hate them? Are they becoming the Yankees of the NFL? Please list your home/favorite NFL team with your answer.

It almost seems too easy when you watch the Patriots play football. It really seems too easy when you're watching exactly what they're doing. It's pretty amazing. They seem to have the answer for everything you do on offense. They seem to have the answer for everything you do on defense. So they execute very well. They're a very well-coached football team. You take Brady with the receivers he has. He has two really good outside receivers. He's got a great slot receiver, he's got a great tight end, and they have a couple of good running backs. And the thing that goes unseen with New England is their offensive and defensive lines and how well they play.
The only team who can beat New England is Indianapolis and they'd have to do it in Indianapolis and in a shoot-out. There is just no containing the Pats offense, but you can out-score them if you win the opening toss and get the ball first. At least, Indianapolis has a chance at that.

Well the only game I wanted to see the Pats lose was to my Browns. But the first time I saw this year schedule I listed that game as a lose for my Browns. The Patriots are not the Yankees of the NFL, yes I'm and tired of seeing them win, but the Patriots just got done beating the Yankees of the NFL. The Cowgirls are the only team in the NFC that I want to see lose all there games. (unless they are playing the AFC north that season then they can beat Pitts, Cinni, and the Ratbirds) So I wish the Patriots good luck for the rest of the season, and if they do not go undefeated don't lose to the AFC North, they already beat my Browns. :)

Key was it was week 6, NE doesn't mean anything to Dallas didn't make any differance for home field advantage later in the year... Why play your heart out when now you are only 5-1 if you are Dallas. Only thing any of these teams can prove is to go 17-0 and break the 72 Miami Dolphins undefeated season record.
Just let INDY and the Pats do what they have done for years, play like hell all year and fall apart in the championship games. Besides it is hard to defeat the PATS since they already have all the other teams defensive plays down...

I was born a Cowboys fan and I will die a Cowboys fan! The pats are a great team! It hurts me to say that but I am a true fan of the sport. They have a great team this season! I hope That we will see them again in the SB! I don't know if I respect them after the whole video camera incident though. As far as being the new Yankees, no the yankees got beat!

Yankees haven't won anything for awhile and they are sticking to their overspending ways, spitting in the face of chemistry, not really a good comparison to the Pats.
I don't like the Pats but I respect them as a team. I'm a fan of good football though and they are f-ing good this year. They're not squeaking by inferior opponents and they just beat a good Dallas team. I think you will have the best assessment of them when they play the colts at Indy in three weeks.
Seattle, Denver and Tampa fan (sorry, I love football too much to limit my favorites to one team, plus I move around a lot so I don't really have a chance to be a homer for one team either)

Patriots are the best team since Bill Walsh's 1989 49'ers. Might as well just end the season and send the trophy to Massachusetts. I can't wait to see them play Indy...maybe everyone will shut up when Manning and his Colts fall flat on their faces and lose 58-3.
Oh, and it really doesn't matter which scrub the NFC sends to the Super Bowl, they will lose 55-10.
The Patriots are going 16-0, maybe people will shut up then....

I respect them because they are not a selfish, self-centered team they would recognize their weaknesses before they admit how good they've been. No I dont hate them I hate the Cowboys, Colts and Raiders. No they are not becoming the Yanks of the NFL because they're not overspending an getting all of these Pro Bowl players they get player with potential to be great. Go Niners!

Nothing like the Yankees for years they did it with very little talent while INDY had big stars. The Patriots is America's team they're loved and respected even though they beat my brownies up lol.

I love the Patriots. Maybe they are becoming the Yankees of the NFL and I do respect them.

I can honestly say I hate them with a white hot passion that burns deep deep inside my soul. They are becoming the yankees only worse because I really susupect them of manipulating the salary cap in order to attain high priced players, which is cheating. This hatred expanded even more when they got Randy Moss, who as a Raider fan I consider one of the most disgusting figures of the sporting world.
