I'm not usually one to report on bathroom banter, but I have to include this interesting reaction at the University of Phoenix facilities. After all, news like this is what blogs are made for, so I'm told.

PFW editor-in-chief Keith Schleiden told me upon his return from a halftime break that Patriots fans, many of them, were saying "Game over" and patting each other on the back. Apparently, their faith in Bill Belichick's ability to make the proper halftime adjustments had them feeling more than a bit confident with a 7-3 lead. "Wait till he sees the film," they said. "This one's over."

Yes, I think the Patriots will still win, but they're going to have to find a way to block people better to make it happen. Brady's been knocked around like a punching bag thus far and doesn't have that pocket he's been spoiled with most of the season.

I think their fans are drinking a little too much of the 18-0 Kool-Aid to think this one's over after 30 minutes. That comes with the territory though, I suppose. Hope they washed their hands on the way out, at least.
