Go Pats!!

Teal. That’s a color for winning football games? Sure, blend in all the black you want, but Teal is the color of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

And the coach’s name is Del Rio. Of the River?

These are the friggin’ New England Patriots. Teal of the River is what you’re bringing to beat the New England Patriots? The only team to ever go 16-0 in the regular season? The team that is quarterbacked by Tom Brady and coached by Bill Belichick?

I’m not saying it can’t happen. But Teal of the River is going to have to go to places it has heretofore not gone.

"Teal of the River can run the ball.” Yeah. Pittsburgh could, too. They lost. Indianapolis could run the ball. They lost. Heck, San Diego has the best running game in the history of last year AND they had “something to prove.” They lost.

“Teal of the River is tough. Teal of the River can’t be intimidated.” Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Dallas, San Diego, Giants, Eagles. None of them intimidated. All of them tough. None of them victorious. All of them defeated.

So Teal of the River comes to town tomorrow night. They are said to be the “kind” of team that can beat the Patriots.

The Patriots are the “kind” of team that wins football games. Lots of them. Trying to define them any more specifically than that distracts from just saying what they really do well; win.

Like I said, Teal of the River “could” win. But I don’t think it will.

All I will say is this: Teal of the River’s secondary is so vulnerable that by next week there may be a charitable group set up to prevent their future exploitation.

Go Pats!!
