[0:00]" Let's go let's gods -- have fallen out at all.

[0:33]" He year news. John Rollins --"
[0:41]" So we have to go back got to do this again today I mean. Everything that I've heard over the course of the last 48 hours or almost 48 hours since this patriots football team. That is dispatching the Dallas Cowboys 48 point seven on Sunday and -- Everything I've heard is that the season's over hand him the trophy -- the in the championship it's all done nobody can keep up wear them nobody can play with a nobody's gonna beat him. But isn't this why we play the games. I mean I don't know you know I realized that you know and what we're just talk about with BMW guys --"
[1:19]" I realize that this is a this is a -- time in in the in the history of this franchise that all patriots fans should rebel. You should want this. This time right now to just not go away. You should wanted to -- is my my my my my qualities that we should just want to sit Waller and it's like a pig in slop it's great stuff. You dispute -- do enjoy the moment -- that or the moments as they continue to come along week after week -- week. Because this is as close to. 81 season juggernaut as you may ever say in the NFL and the fact that you're getting this done. In the current day and age free agency and salary cap an end and in any different. Way of doing business in professional sports much less professional football is good it's just it's gonna go down in the record books and people are going to look back on this season. If if this -- team goes where we think it can go and certainly it now has shown us that they are capable they are capable of getting there. But if it goes this way than this will be a season. Like navy will never come across our paths again. And certainly am talking about yeah out 16 an -- slash 19 you know slash Super Bowl championship again. Based on what we saw on Sunday I mean -- the cowboys are what the NFC has to offer. And then there's really only one team left on the schedule that even poses a threat and that we all know that comes up on November the fourth. And I and I say that really with the all the respect to to Miami this weekend in in all due respect to Washington the next weekend. And with -- all due respect to you know Pittsburg in Baltimore -- more than capable opponents on the schedule on down the line. Fact is is that if if the patriots play like they play on Sunday against against Dallas nobody's gonna beat him. Nobody it's going to be an and I still don't believe I'm sure that many of you will -- probably have already mentioned is such. I still don't believe the pacers played their absolute best game on Sunday that they left a lot of the table. Certainly defensively I think that there was a moment that the could improve upon offensively even. Although he can't argue with 48 points but how could you argue with that you hang up almost half a hundred on people it's like college football. You know it's it's it's scary if this team ever does play the complete perfect game. Which it may invariably take to beat the colts in a couple of weeks. What have they ever do put it together won't be pretty. And you have to think that at some point in time this season is going to be an ugly. Ugly ugly game and it will be very lopsided. And that the only way that the patriots lose a game this year is -- if they lose the game the other team won't win it. Does that make sense to me. Patriot shoot themselves in the foot with you know a 12 turn -- game like the cowboy up 12 penalty game like the cowboys had on -- of the cowboys. Contributed to their demise. Yes the patriots were impressive but the cowboys contributed to their demise on Sunday with penalties. They're consistently thwarted stopped drives. Seoul while patrons were impressive. I know that there's still talk down a hallway over how we can get better as a football team we left a lot out there. They put 48 points of on the board in in my guess is that probably think we should put up 62. I'm -- guarantee you that's the way they think we should of put up 62. And we should have given up 27 you know the the obvious for the offense give up one of those but the these things give up what wanting. You know I'm thinking that the defense probably think we've they gave of about ten to many. So there's still work to improve upon. But I I am beginning to join the club now of the all the way the patriots loses if they lose the game they shoot themselves in the foot. I don't know that there's another team capable on the schedule the season they can do with the exception of Indy. Now granted Indianapolis is still imminently qualified offensively they're still somewhat susceptible defensively but sometimes you can -- a little bit of that playing on the home field. If this were if this game on November the fourth -- going to be here in Foxboro no contest. Baker should be favored probably by at least ten probably when the game by two touchdowns or more that's my thought. In Indy the bit this'll probably be the only game all year the patriots won't be a favorite. I do not think that they'll be favored in the game as impressive as it has been thus far to a six in a start I don't think the -- I think you I I think initially the not go to the defending champs and maybe it should go that way. Maybe you should hoping you should wish for it to be that way. Maybe that's what will motivate this team although I just don't know how much more motivation this team -- they seemed to self motivate any time. They need it ended any. Point that they needed they seem to come up with a self motivation these these guys are remarkable. It is a unique collection talents and individuals and guys with will power and professionals it's a collection of of individual coaches players staff that could easily be called once in a generation. Mean you know when you think of the great teams in the pantheon of NFL history you're you're -- obviously -- Chicago Bears you know the early of the 30s and 40s you'd certainly but in recent memory you're you're going with the of the Green Bay Packers of the 60s the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 70s the San Francisco 49ers of the 80s the Dallas Cowboys of the 90s. And he got -- though the patriots try to their in the 2000. This is the past decade. And they're going to stamp it. Their decade. Should they win at least one more if not two more -- who's. Who's to say if they don't keep the nucleus of the team together they can't be you know when a couple more before we turn the corner on -- of the decade. This team seems to have the pieces of the puzzle in place and I and I really believe they turned the corner in a lot of ways because I know that you know a lot of that that the that negative publicity over spike gate will continue to linger between you know -- oh continually for the rest of the year. And it will be a focal point believe you me of the patriots are fortunate to get Super Bowl week it'll be a focal point there will be talking about it you can discount on it. Police police count on -- and don't act surprised it happens because it will. But when you have a guy like Chris Collins -- who you know seems to be is anti patriot an analyst and I put my finger quotations around the -- analyst. They use that term relatively loosely with him -- I think he has an agenda. Again that's just my personal opinion I'd I don't happen to know that he has an agenda but I I just I surmise that he does but when he turns around on on Sunday night this week and he says on national television cowboy of the that this that was. The hatred for the greatest team. He used that word the greatest team. In the NFL. Then I think what you've done is if you've you've got people who or even eight says waving the white black. Now that doesn't mean that -- won't be criticism and it doesn't mean that everybody going to jump on the bandwagon and and brought in Iraq that patriot train to Arizona coming up in February no that's not a suitcase there will always be detractors there were always be the other side and nobody is going to his jump on the train. Willingly but what it does say is that you know talent wins out over everything else. You can you can complain you can argue you can present you know faxes as they as they appear or even as they not appear I mean -- do all the complaining in in all below you know. The -- accusation -- the pages that you want the bottom line is this team has talent. More than anybody else in the league this year the team has coaching. For that talent perhaps more than anybody else does on any other team this year they've got depth. Which means they have an abundance of this said talent more than any other team in the league this year. And what he had these three things together with desire. -- hunger. With the you know you know the the the absolute hell bent for -- attitude that I am going to win a ring. You know from a few choice individuals and I think you probably know who we're speaking of on this on the patriots football team than. Frankly you're stacking the deck. Against personally -- bill Simmons said on the -- His column on espn.com is -- the patriots are sending an X rated message to the rest of the NFL. And I and I and bill Simmons who I know many of you know is the use the former Boston sports guy and now syndicated by espn.com I frankly in. -- he you know I I don't like a lot of stuff I I've just I'm not in -- to -- all the way that he goes about doing things but. They're a lot of things that had to agree about two on with and that's the job of -- you're not supposed to agree with everything a columnist says. I think in that respect he's definitely doing his job. But I think he's hit the nail on the head here. He's absolutely hit the nail on the head here when the patriots are sending an X rated message to the rest in the NFL. I don't know maybe maybe you peace all the columns. But you know right off the top just briefly all read the whole thing -- but he says."
[11:19]" Right after -- sales interception clinch the patriots 4817 victory in Dallas. On Sunday my blackberry vibrate it with a six word text from my friend Willie. Quote here comes the F -- touchdown. And guess what. It happened. When Kyle Michael took him home with 19 seconds to go the game on a fourth and one. Now first of all I realize that there are a lot of people would you're going to criticize those that pay attention on the you know the sportsman like being taken -- you know taken me. Inside somebody's five yard line because frankly that's more than its opening thing else. I really don't think so I I just I don't think that you would have taken either because that's like saying that's Robin your face and to me is competitor if I'm on the other satellite -- scrimmage you're taken the other instance I'm kind of like what you don't think I can stop you. You don't get a kick a field goal there because they need to score points to score points you gotta run the play. And years -- gave the ball to the right guy is kinda like -- had never scored a touchdown of the NFL calico was not this team during the summer camp. Kyle tackle may not be on another NFL David -- for the patriots. But he had a chance. To score for himself and he had a chance to do what we still rarely get in New England that is the F few touchdown. And we got one on Sunday. You know what the bill Simmons -- is normally taken either but not this year. Back in the mid 80s every time the Celtics walked off an opposing floor after hard fought victory on the road -- Kevin mchale clinched his fists raised his Frankenstein arms above his head and showed off his victorious armpits. This would they Harry victory cigar of the bird era. Maybe the 2007 patriots don't have anything as magical as -- it but they do have the F view touchdown. It's their little kept telling the other 31 teams you took shots at us after the jets' game you discredited -- three Super Bowl you pretended we were the only team stealing opposing signal when everyone else does it so you know a lot. -- view. Enough said. And so. The cowboy game in a sense is the F few games. That's what it is an and I apologize remained somewhat flip Buren and and maybe some what -- you know this is the Internet after all but I do trip we do -- a little bit of a comport -- In such an earlier when he understands what it is that I'm saying aren't here. Right Gary he's talking about Britain's guy like gives -- You're -- thanks. I would dump button here but number two -- as the but we do have the ability did to bleep out you know for a little transgression but nevertheless. Double again was at -- is the way it is."
[14:14]" And Kyle cycles touchdown if you touchdown and that's the way to just tell the rest of the league to shut up. Just take it take your punishment like -- So that's where we are. That's this is where we're standing after six weeks. This team is undefeated there probably aren't too many of you that thought that they wouldn't be undefeated after the stage. I mean maybe you thought that they would goods double till I don't know somewhere Dallas would certainly had to be one of those possibilities because it was a road game. But I'm going to venture a guess -- the overwhelming majority of you already thought this team would be six you know after six weeks. The fact I'm going to guess as say the overwhelming majority of you figure this team to be eight you know going into Indianapolis. And there's probably a majority we still who feel like nine no going into the bye week after Indy based on what you've seen thus far. So."
[15:12]" You know. Where does this leave us for this week's game -- we yes we will spend this week talking about Miami a lot of the focus will be on how far they've fallen they are -- and six but -- You know I for one do not feel overly confident in Sunday's game reason being if you've been a patriot fan for any length of time you understand. South Florida has always been a trouble spot for the franchise no matter how. Good the relative strengths or how bad the relative weaknesses are of the respective teams. It's always been -- it's always been a trouble spot sure the patriots have won there. But yeah they've also lost some games that they should want to. Now again this year is different and I -- spent the first 15 minutes of this program tornadoes this programs and that this year is different. It was pretty clear even to the uninitiated even to the non football -- to the non patriot fan this year is different. Because what you have is a patriot team that Poland people up by the -- for the next whether shirt collar. And basically punching him in the nose. You know there is reaching out grabs him by the shirt collar pulled him up two -- and -- bright note that's exactly what this patriots football team is doing to the rest of the NFL. And it doesn't mean that at some point in time one of those people that this team pulls up by the shirt collar isn't going to strike back. Dallas for the first time at least took a swing. This past week when they took the first lead -- against the patriots in the second half."
[16:48]" And of course in the papers go right down and score and never looked back in the out score cowboys over the typically 20 to three. Down the stretch in the last quarter and a half."
[17:00]" that was you know that that that that was a significant turning point. And it just shows you that this Baker's team and flip the switch and turn it on. Physically and mentally when they want to and that's the real scary part about this football. As the real scary part I best you don't see that much think back they back to. Think back to the patriots teams think back to other teams that you've been a fan of or that you watched play. Over the years in the NFL they -- the -- college teams even you don't see too many teams where they can just flip a switch and turn it on. And and women like that and perform like this is a rarity."
[17:47]" And because it is a rarity this is why I would encourage you as a fan is a follower as an observer to enjoy what we have and and again put the blinders on go week to week. Join the guys down a hallway in in exactly what they're going to be doing and that is going to be focusing on Miami. And and why you can have a little giddy fun I think looking down the line -- what about Indian what about the pit that the that the via Pittsburgh Steelers and what about maybe even the Baltimore ravens and do we have a shot may be getting to Dallas or something again in the several you can do that as a threat. But but just realize now that you know nobody in the hallways and join him. And realize that you don't want to get to February too quickly because you want to savor every last second. Of this season that you can."
[18:40]" If you're just an all fire hurry to get to February and turn the clock but let's get to the let's get -- the playoffs -- you're just not enjoying football. Enjoy this revel in it. It is my dad Ed -- and it like a pig in slop. Because you just won't get too many more chances if you ever get another chance like this is a stand. As a follower as an observe you'll get two more chances Jason's in Florida joining us today good afternoon Jason are you."
[19:07]" Afternoon great like again. Com I'm agree revered that we should all enjoy that's what it is and I picked suppliers enjoyment. -- know one thing that's all very looked a little bit under director of the worst until it onto that little."
[19:28]" Well I don't know -- it was so much under direct -- is that I think that the Dallas Cowboys were actually doing some things defensively because in some. Some consternation I think the cowboys put you know pretty good pressure on him you know not with the front four but you know with the occasional time blitz that caused him to -- enemy was sacked three times in the game which met the total the first five games all combined. But you gotta give the cowboys deep into more credit than anything else but the patriots were able to pick up on that and like I said they were able it take care they made -- of the adjustments that needed to they -- Brady out a couple of times he was able to you know as the phrase that we like do you -- dink and dunk. -- some -- you know he was able final -- underneath and I still don't think Dallas is tackled Wes Welker. To this point. It here it is Tuesday. So you know. The price that the problem is is that you know if you're good deep offense I think Dallas is a good -- I think they're improving the canceling Dallas will get better. But you're not going it's it's like the Dutch -- trying to put a finger in the dike. You know it's important time you're gonna run out of fingers in the going to be more leaks that are going to spring. And that's exactly how I think Sunday --"
[20:34]" Yeah I think it's majors -- are very. Where circumstance here and it it is truly magnificent to watch -- telecheck -- out. Competing against themselves you don't really see that at all it's always were not up against that team and just sit -- watch team. I don't know which would agree I agree with gunfire also ordered yet to be truly perfecting themselves competing against themselves. It's just wanted to be old and I'm just enjoying it aquatic Hugo everything because that would look back on Scotland --"
[21:10]" I think that's a smart idea I think that if you have a a team VR tivo I think you'd be well served by getting some of this on record. And and ranked who you know burn it to a disk or whatever you know you can in the -- he put it in your memory because quite frankly I think this will be an historical year. And I don't know that this you'll ever ever be matched again in the annals of NFL history now I'm sure that there have been other teams in other years that have said the same thing. But you know and -- this game takes a turn in all systematically again don't like it did when we brought the salary cap in in free agency and to play 20 in almost 20 years ago now I don't know if there's another turn out there to take. I just don't know that there is and therefore I think it's going to -- with everybody now of course you know the NFL as a copycat league -- most successful in leagues are -- most successful teams -- everybody tries to copy them well when everybody tries to -- the patriots -- a few teams actually catch on. And are able to do that. Somebody else is going to break away from the pack it may not be the patriots it could be anybody. Someone else will break away from the -- it is is is is sure an occurrence as death and taxes. Okay somebody always create something new. But I don't know that they'll create something new. That will meet with such devastating results as with the patriots have done I don't know I. I'd I'd say realistically speaking I'd say that's a long shot."
[22:36]" Yeah I'm I'm just ready set up rapidly -- and great show up expect my question."
[22:42]" Thanks Jason appreciate the time is always 585437482 is the telephone number you do can. Make the phone call and participate in the program with your thoughts 585437482 with a telephone number of course our email address you know that web radio at patriots dot com bomb. I won't get to a lot of emails Brian -- from -- patriots today is going to join us believe in the second error of the program as he normally does in Tuesday's I I do have an email question for you today we do try to come up some sort of -- of topical arrangement for you consider and future emails into -- finally got a bunch of emails left over the want to get too I was sure it was going to go that's the quite frankly I I do want to do it because today's the first day that you can kinda get on line on NFL dot com invoke the probable. And Ira and and we talked we've done this shows passed in in past years but this year is a little different for the patriots because usually -- its New England. And it usually patriots fans in particular you know yeah I'm talking to you. It's patriots fan that you snubbed when it comes the probable they feel like all sorts -- should've gotten it how come we're not getting any respect. And that seemed to be prevalent theme to come to pick in the probe. And quite frankly a lot of it may be your own fault but if you don't go on line and you don't vote the fans to have a a vote in this you get a percentage of the overall vote. And so you should take advantage of the situation when you know your team is not. You go to an infield are common over the players. But what I wanted you to do today in particular this program an email me back -- web radio at patriots dot com guy. It's too easy to say. The whole offense deserves to go to the pro bowl. Or hold these fans deserve to go to the problems too lazy when I'm going to do that. I want you pick the three most deserving players on both sides of the football program that we university well maybe not him. But I want you to pick three I want you to narrow it down to the top three. Because if your top three get in that six representatives. And six you'd have to admit even in this day and age would be a good at. Representation for the patriots not always head is really is what nine colts are nine Steelers or something like that picked in recent past. And maybe that will happen with the patriots I frankly don't think so. Because this Baker's team as we -- was built and predicated on the fact that there is not one single superstar. Carrying this team although you might say Tom Brady into or Randy moss might be in that category right now."
[25:20]" And maybe -- is Thomas on the defensive side of the ball. But but short of that there's really not anybody that stands out like some other teams have had in the past because of the depth overall because the guys who just. And to develop this team that's the way this team was that I think you know that. So I'm going to ask you. To make -- cuts."
[25:41]" And because the -- pro ball. Voting has begun an NFL dot com this week I want you right here right now on patriots playbook. Web radio at patriots dot com I want you to send me. Your six players three offense three -- that are most deserving for the patriots. Three guys that you feel like will -- get the most votes -- beat you think should go deserve to go right now now we're not talking about based on the into the season how you think someone will project out over 16 weeks. How would you tell me who is pro bowl caliber on this team after six weeks. And pro bowl calendar caliber after six weeks who deserves to go three offense three defects. I didn't say -- offense into David's eyes at three in three and I -- you improbable I think -- still probably have some trouble making your cuts. And even though we're not even halfway into the season we usually do have seasoned pro bowl team we'll probably do that a couple weeks that'll be a good bye week topic I think. Since the patron level by a week after week nine after the of the colts and will save our you know mid season pro bowl voting probably for that particular week. But right now just because it's the start of pro bowl balloting I want you to give me your top three on both sides of the football. Who is most deserving based on what you've seen -- what you read it. What you've heard. Web radio -- patriots dot com. To fire off your email and let me know that's today's topic you can also phone in your results 5 wait 5437482585437482. Today it was also the trading deadline in the NFL occasion more aware."
