Radio's Pick Of The Day NFL Week 5

The New England Patriots.  Oh, how I loathe the New England Patriots.  I am a die hard Bills fan.  Tom Brady and crew have inflicted so much personal pain upon me as far back as I can remember.  My hatred for them runs deep.

That being said, they are one of the best teams in the NFL this year.  This decade.  All time.  They head into Mile High Stadium as a 3 point favorite to the currently undefeated Broncos.

First things first, let's look at the QB's.  Tom Brady has 108 completions to Orton's 69. Patriots have 99 first downs, Broncos have 74.  That's an average of 6 more first downs per game.  Orton does have 1 more TD pass, and no interceptions to Brady's 2.  They both have a solid set of receivers, with the edge going to the Patriots.  Gaffney and Marshall are good, but would you rather have them, or Moss and Welker?  Throw the rest of the Pats WR's into that mix, and the Patriots have an armada of weapons.  Particularly, Wes Welker is something special.  He catches the uncatchable.  He is faster than lightning.  He is Brady's go to guy when things just don't look right.

On Defense:  The Broncos are undefeated, yes.  Let's look at who they have beaten.  The Bengals on a miracle TD.  The Browns.  Who?  The Raiders.  Are they still a team?  The Cowboys.  Thanks to a 4th Quarter meltdown. 

I am not impressed. ... [More]
