Will the patriots go undefeated?

[SacTown Chronic]

The Pats will go 16-0, but I have the feeling that this season will end in crushing disappointment for them. I don't think they have enough to beat both the Colts and Cowboys again.

Naw. The Patriots can't run their way out of a paper bag, their secondary can be had up the middle, and their linebackers sometimes have difficulty covering elite tight ends (the playoffs will include Gates, Clark, Winslow, Miller, Witten). And if you hit their star wide receiver early and often, you can take him out of the game. Of all these things, the lack of a serious commitment to the running game might be what trips them up in the end. Then again, they might go 19-0, covering the spread all the while.



Ugh, Trent Dilfer. It's no mean feat making Niner fans happy to see the Shaun Hill era begin, but Dilfer pulls it off.
