Patriots Minor Leage Team Clobbered 49-28

Welcome to the Miami Dolphins, where future New England stars come to train for a couple of seasons before being called up to the big show by the New England Patriots. Ive lost count how many players move from Miami to New England over the last 8 seasons, but one thing is for sure, the Dolphins get worse and the Patriots get better as a result of it. Welker, Morris, Seau, Heath Evans, Larry Izzo to name a few. Pardon my rant, the loss of Brown for the year has me beyond frustration at this point in time.

The New England Patriots finally have reached the point that you have to wonder how many NFL records they'll break this season.
The single-season mark of 49 touchdown passes Peyton Manning set in 2004? Tom Brady should smash it. Jerry Rice's record of 22 touchdown receptions in a season? Randy Moss already has 10 in seven games. And is there any reason to think the Patriots won't eclipse the 556 points scored by the 1998 Minnesota Vikings? Put it this way, they're on pace for 612.
About the only question left to wonder about New England -- aside from the weekly debate about when they eventually will lose -- is whether anybody can actually slow them down. Here's a list of the teams with the best shot at keeping Tom Brady & Co. under 30 points when they meet:
1. Pittsburgh (Dec. 9): The Steelers have the talent and the numbers. Even after Sunday night's 31-28 loss at Denver, the Steelers still rank first in total defense (250.3 yards per game). They are second in the NFL in scoring defense (13.0 points per game) and rate third in pass defense (174.8 yards per game). Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, in his 34th year as an NFL coach, is getting it done.
2. Indianapolis (Nov. 4): The Colts know the Pats, so there's no fear factor here. The Colts also play Cover 2, which means they're not going to give up the big plays other Pats opponents have allowed. Throw in a hard-hitting secondary led by safety Bob Sanders, and these Colts can measure up.
3. Baltimore (Dec. 3): This game is late enough in the season that the Ravens should be back to full strength. Once defensive end Trevor Pryce and cornerback Chris McAlister return from injuries, this athletic unit will be able to cause problems once again.
4. Washington (Oct. 28): The Redskins have the first thing you need if you want to survive against New England: a talented secondary. With four first-round picks in their defensive backfield (cornerbacks Shawn Springs and Carlos Rogers and safeties LaRon Landry and Sean Taylor), the Skins won't have to worry about being overmatched by the Patriots' wealth of talent. Plus, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams loves the challenge of facing dominant offenses.
5. New York Giants (Dec. 29): Yes, the Giants have a suspect secondary. But their front four -- led by ends Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora -- can create the kind of pressure Brady rarely has seen this season. The Giants lead the NFL with 27 sacks.
