1. When Dobson went down, I hoped that would lead BB to sign someone like Collie. True, he's a hard hit away from being knocked out again, but he strikes me as the kind of smart and reasonably fast WR who will thrive with Our Tom.
2. Savor Our Tom every single day. We're never going to see another like him. I live out of market and the begrudging respect opposing fans have for him is ginormous...even those who HATE the Pats.
3. This Ridley injury is confounding. When did that occur? Hopefully,Bolden is good to go. Imagine if they cut Bolden in training camp now? Depth at RB....key.
4. I'm still surprised they didn't add a DT in Vince's absence. OK, forget ****ie Seymour or some other shiny new/old toy. How about another body for the rotation? Or is that going to be Fortson?
5. Denver is peaking too soon. Every year a team looks unbeatable early and then fades. (Bangs head into wall thinking about 2007)
6. BB loves this kind of challenge. Remember the stories about him saying in 2001 "that we won a SB with THIS team?!"
7. I know Spikes has limitations. But I hope he gets used more. Guy is a hard hitter.
8. Leon Washington must look much less explosive than they anticipated. They brought the guy in for a reason and not just to be inactive every week. Seems a little odd.
9. No one is talking much about McCourty. He looks pretty solid out there. Steve Gregory too. Neither has been seen all that much this season in chase mode.
10. I don't listen to Pats games on the radio so can't comment on the lack of Gil and Gino. But I can tell you one thing: I miss hearing Gil's calls on the NFL Films shows and other highlight shows. Loved the Gil.
11. I would be very surprised if an Andy Dalton/Marvin Lewis team beat the Pats. Lesser QB/HC pairs have done so but that tandem doesn't strike me as formidbable enough.
12. I just love the Pats. Can't get enough of them, d%#*!@t. No content there, I know, but it's true.
13. Among the many football related things that suck about Hernandez is that he was damn fun to watch. I miss those spin moves. And his YAC.
14. Who doesn't love the Edelman story line? College QB. Making the most of his shot. Playing really well. Highest punt return average in NFL history!
15. Why do we see a botched call in EVERY Pats game? In week one Thompkins got man handled early and no PI was called. Last week Talib was called for PI when both guys were hand checking. The spot was botched on the Blount run. There are other calls that were violently bad. Ugh.
16. Have you looked at the 4 PM games this week? Only two and the only one that I might want to watch is Denver-Dallas, and if that gets out of hand, I have to turn it off. Come on NFL, I need the whole day covered!
17. What do we hav in Boyce? Hard to say, right? That was a nice shoe string catch and run after the catch. But he's been pretty invisible and thoroughly beatend out by a college free agent.
18. Dare to dream? Amendola and Gronk this week? Embarassment of riches, if so. In week 9-10 could we really have them and Vereen? From an offensively challenged team that looked downright awful againt the Jets in Week 2, we'll have an offense with a bunch of weapns, especially if the rookie WRs continue to develop and Edelman' confidence and effectiveness continues to grow.
19. Yo, naysayers who carped about Bill signing "problem" players after Hernandez killed someone, take a look at Dennard, Thompkins, Talib and Blount. And shut the hell up. It's not what Collinsworth was saying -- "Bill makes them all PATRIOTS" -- but it is good to take some chances and get bargains in the process. KEEP DOING THAT. Doing that does not mean you've lost your way. Shakes head.
20. Did I mention that I just love this team? Well it extends in all directions. Players. Coaches. Owners. Hell, even fans. We are so lucky. Pats have been a bona fide contender since 2001! That's really all you can ask for.
21. I mentioned in another thread that I hoped to see some big plays out of Mayo. Many pointed out that he makes them and really, that's not his function. Good stuff. I think he can make more and his function is multi-headed, but I heard what you all were saying. Some smaht people here!
Thanks for reading, if you got this far.
