GREATEST TEAM EVER: Undefeated, it’s only natural that this season’s Patriots team is getting compared to the 2007 version, the one that won every game but the one that mattered most. According to Tom Brady, this Patriots team isn’t on that level. That Patriots team, the 2007 one, is “the greatest team that ever played in the NFL.”
‘The greatest team that ever played in the NFL’
Tom Brady is not impressed with the Patriots this season.
ELI KNOWS: Eli Manning and the Giants were the ones who finally beat the so-called “greatest team” in Super Bowl XLII. But Eli shrugged it off, telling reporters Wednesday that his Giants “just happen to catch them on the right day.” Giants coach Tom Coughlin knows better, just listen to him talk about the prep work his team’s putting in for this game.
THE LATEST ON HARDY: Deadspin dropped another Greg Hardy scoop, this time releasing the transcript from the closed door meeting with Hardy, his lawyer and the NFL big shots who sat idle and listen to Hardy and his lawyer portray him as the victim. It’s as disgusting as it sounds.
BEARD-O: Should Julian Edelman go with a beard or without?
CHANGES IN GREEN BAY: Eddie Lacy is struggling, so the Packers offense named James Stark the new No. 1 back.
“FELL OUR WAY”: The Lions haven’t won in Green Bay since 1991, a fact that wasn’t lost on Aaron Rodgers this week when he took a shot at the streak. However, is there a chance that might end this weekend?
SABAN’S COLTS: The rumor mill will not let go of the Nick Saban to the Colts talk.
BAD QUARTERBACKS: The Eagles are simplifying their offense to try and help Sam Bradford. How long will Blaine Gabbert’s competent play continue for the 49ers?
THURSDAY NIGHT PREVIEW: The Bills and Jets play tonight. Will Rex Ryan have his revenge or are the Jets just too good without him? The Bills are 2.5-point underdogs, but they’re also 5-1 against the spread in their last six as a betting underdog. The Jets have a rookie pass rusher that the Bills will need to watch out for this week.
