With the draft approaching later today I have decided to provide live draft coverage for all of my viewers. I tried to live blog the draft last year but I wasn’t happy with the results so when I found a draft widget on the nfl website I jumped on it and have embedded it bellow. Have fun and I hope you like your teams picks.

The New England Patriots are one win away from going 16-0 in the regular season. They will be playing on Saturday night against the New York Giants, who have clinched the playoffs, and many feel both teams should rest their starters. With Brady coming off a 3 touchdown game, needing only 2 more touchdowns to break the single season record, and Maroney coming off a career day with one touchdown and 156 rushing yards it makes everyone wonder; ‘Can they manage to have only the second perfect season in NFL history?’
As a Pats fan myself I am hoping they accomplish all of these goals including a perfect season, the touchdown record for Brady, and the most receiving touchdowns in a season for Moss. However, how logical is that? What it boils down to is what team can stop them. The giants are the team in there way for individual records and can either shut down the Patriots offense with extensive pressure from their defensive line but more likely allow all these records to be broken. The Giants have been known to do both during any game which makes their fans sick. Plus, it’s hard for the Patriots not to capitalize on Eli Manning if he has another 2 int and 2 fumble game. But than again, any team should. During the playoffs I can see Colts and the Jaguars beating the patriots. The colts because I feel they have the second best team in the league ranking in the top five in total offense, total passing offense, total defense, and total passing defense. I also feel the Jaguars can beat New England because of their run game. On a cold snowy day in Massachusetts where passing will be difficult I’m not sure the patriots can rely on their running game to win. Plus, the Jaguars have an amazing two headed monster that will allow them to manage the game and score points.
If the patriots can run the ball effectively, and obviously maintain their stellar passing game, they can beat any team anywhere at anytime. That’s not even taking into account there defense that ranks in the top 5 for total and passing defenses. But hey, that’s a pretty basic blueprint. I’ll guess we will have to see when the Patriots battle the Giants on Saturday, 12-29-2007, which will now be broadcast not only on the NFL network but also on NBC and CBS.
Twitter What am I listening to?
