Again, I missed most of the second half. Please don't hurt me.
* On the play were Morris ran for a first down just before Gost's first missed fg, where was the holding on Neal?
* After the first TD, I saw Mills congratulating Brady. Was he in the play anywhere?
* Did Dierdorf really not see the offensive pushoff on Gay? The show a slow motion replay with the WRs two arms going up, both hands touching Blue, the arms thrusting out and Blue tumbling. I knew that was OPI in live time (and was grateful when the right call was made). That said, he was pretty tame and actually did a decent job.
* I didn't see many stunts and loops by the DL, but NE's OL was much better this week. The only time anyone got near Brady was on a heavy blitz or if he held the ball for 6 full seconds.
* Do people still think Morris is junk? Or even a JAG?
* The start of the game was clearly a run scrimage with mixed results. While the numbers ended up pretty good, it seemed as if the plays were still sloppy. Maroney started off by dancing a little too much, but he looked good once he got warmed up.
* My boy had a nice game. It still pisses me off that even Dan Dierdorf is saying that Welker might have the most impact of all NE's FAs. He used to be all mine!
* Despite all the short passes in this PS, I think that NE will use the deep ball more than ever. I don't just say this because of Moss and Stallworth. It just seems as if NE is purposely not calling any deep posts or gos.
* I can't stand the guy, but Delhomme had himself a nice game. He put the ball in some tight spots and was vicitmized by several drops. Did I mention that I can't stand him, though? He really just rubs me the wrong way.
* Despite several three and outs, I don't think NE's starting D had a very good day. If Carolina's receivers could catch in the early part of the game, they likely would have had nice gains every time the got the ball. Of mild concern is that the Cats seemed to have consistent success working underneath on NE's LBs and safeties. The DL didn't look nearly as dominant against the better Carolina line, either.
I am sure that I am forgetting something, but that's all I have for now.

Welker was never just your boy. He is my favorite pick-up of the offseason on offense. I think he will be catching passes for us long after Moss has cashed in somewhere else.
Like I was telling my wife, how often lately has Brady had anybody on offense that will simply catch the damn ball, not bumble it, fumble it or bobble it, just catch the thing.
I'll take ten yard gains all day long over medium to low probability passes downfield. I'm not greedy that way...
And some longer passes to Moss/Stallworth for good measure.
Again, I missed most of the second half. Please don't hurt me.
* On the play were Morris ran for a first down just before Gost's first missed fg, where was the holding on Neal? On the replay, the DT went down on his face as tho he tripped, Neal stepped back and threw up his hands. Couldn't see a hold, but the ref may have suspected a WWE take-down.
* After the first TD, I saw Mills congratulating Brady. Was he in the play anywhere? Also saw Jenkins congratulating him after the half. Would liked to have heard that interaction.
* Did Dierdorf really not see the offensive pushoff on Gay? The show a slow motion replay with the WRs two arms going up, both hands touching Blue, the arms thrusting out and Blue tumbling. I knew that was OPI in live time (and was grateful when the right call was made). That said, he was pretty tame and actually did a decent job. Couldn't believe the hold on Reche going into the endzone wasn't called, either. DB had his hand on his shoulder for 15 yds. and the ref was looking right at them.
* I didn't see many stunts and loops by the DL, but NE's OL was much better this week. The only time anyone got near Brady was on a heavy blitz or if he held the ball for 6 full seconds. Big difference by the O-line. The only pressure was from blitzers.
* Do people still think Morris is junk? Or even a JAG? He had a heck of a game against us last yr. Like the fact that he's all AFCE, too. Should know his way around the shop.
* The start of the game was clearly a run scrimage with mixed results. While the numbers ended up pretty good, it seemed as if the plays were still sloppy. Maroney started off by dancing a little too much, but he looked good once he got warmed up. Ditto
* My boy had a nice game. It still pisses me off that even Dan Dierdorf is saying that Welker might have the most impact of all NE's FAs. He used to be all mine! I was all over Welker last fall when it was known he would be a FA. The only Dolphin that scared me for the last 2 yrs.
* Despite all the short passes in this PS, I think that NE will use the deep ball more than ever. I don't just say this because of Moss and Stallworth. It just seems as if NE is purposely not calling any deep posts or gos. No Moss, no protection last wk, and Stallworth just getting back, it was nice to finally see a long ball catch, even if it was a poor throw.
* I can't stand the guy, but Delhomme had himself a nice game. He put the ball in some tight spots and was vicitmized by several drops. Did I mention that I can't stand him, though? He really just rubs me the wrong way. Reminds me too much of that guy from Denver. Short-term memory loss is a terrible affliction. Oh yeah, Plummer, that's it, Plummer.
* Despite several three and outs, I don't think NE's starting D had a very good day. If Carolina's receivers could catch in the early part of the game, they likely would have had nice gains every time the got the ball. Of mild concern is that the Cats seemed to have consistent success working underneath on NE's LBs and safeties. The DL didn't look nearly as dominant against the better Carolina line, either. Thought the same. Jarvis and Vince were the only regulars on the D-line, tho. Smith and Brown got a lot of time in the First half. Didn't even notice Wright too much.
I am sure that I am forgetting something, but that's all I have for now.
I'm impressed by some of the rooks. The 2nd string O-line played pretty well, I thought, L.Smith and K. Brown look to have more potential as back-ups
than our #8 and #9 in yrs past. Also, like Rogers, Richardson and Lua, too.

The reason you didn't notice Wright too much is because he wasn't playing.
* In the pre-season, Heath Evans becomes John Riggins
Hah! If true, I'd love to see him continue his Riggins impression well into the post season. Let's just hope he doesn't utter these words at some point: "Come on, Sandy Baby, loosen up. You're too tight."

Beautiful, Clev! Historical memory lives!
He'd have to change it to "Ruthie Baby," but I'm sure we could persuade him...

That's what I thought, but was sure if I said so and he was someone like you would be even more obnoxious.

I've always thought Delhomme was a stud. I'd put him in the second tier of QBs after the Manning/Brady top tier with guys like Brees, Palmer, and McNabb. I think he's that good.
