It should be one heck of a game this one worries me the most so far.
On the bright side if we win bb will have defeated the redskins finally.

Fear Shawn Taylor?
Taking out the teams best player is what BB does best.
Only reason to fear Taylor is if for some reason they have the same vehicle and Taylor assumes Brady stole it.

Ahh.. yes.

Same for the Redskins. I would just be fearing Sean Taylor more.

Give credit where it's due man. He leads the league in interceptions.

Considering the Skins stuffed the Packers and Lions passing game it will be interesting to see how the Patriots do against their defense. I see the Patriots doing the same thing they have done all season so far. That is going up and down the field at will.

We'll see this sunday.
