WEEI reports that in a press conference earlier today, when asked whether the Patriots will practice outside, Belichick responded by saying, "Absolutely".
Hell yeah. If the Cardinals are even in New England yet, they're huddled together in some luxury hotel somewhere. There's no way they are looking forward to this game. That Pats on the other hand can't wait. I'm expecting to beat the Cardinals by at least 14. The Pats have everything to play for, the Cardinals have already clinched and are just happy to be in the playoffs. They'll be on the next flight out of New England as soon as that game gets out.
I'm not giving up hope yet. If I know Chad Pennington, he will screw this up somehow for the Dolphins. They'll lose this week and then lose in N.Y. and the Pats will be golden. Kansas City is a terrible team, but Arrowhead is always a loud place and a tough place for opponents to go in and feel comfortable. If any quarterback is going to screw this up, it's Pennington- but only if J.P. Losman isn't available.
On the other hand, the Jets are 0-3 on the West Coast this year, losing to Oakland and San Francisco in the process. The Seattle Seahawks, while being pretty bad, do pose a threat to the Jets this week. Brett Favre is one of the most overrated quarterbacks in the league at this stage in his career. If the Dolphins win this week and the Jets lose, I can definitely see Pennington going into N.Y., middle finger in the air, and leading the Dolphins to victory while sending Mangina and the Jets home as the Pats clinch the last spot as well after Baltimore loses to Dallas this week.
This is working out perfectly. The Pats clinch the last spot in the playoffs, under the radar, injury plagued, hated by all, and snipe their opponents down one by one.
