Well he certainly wasted no time.

I get it. Easier opponent means easier time winning. But that doesn't matter, because you can't choose who we face anyway. IMO, that shouldn't be the mindset of any champion, though. You're supposed to WANT to beat the best of the best if you wanna be the absolute best.

Ok, that's fine. I don't disagree that it's more satisfying to beat whoever the top competition is. But at the end of the day, when the Pats win the Super Bowl, I'm very happy.

Lol Meriweather is starting and he's already missed a tackle.

don't compare beasley to edelman

oh jesus, the stupid Edelman Beasley comparison that is made at least 3 times every cowboys game.

I agree. You beat what's put in front of you. If you hope for weaker teams, you've already lost because you don't have the self-confidence to win.

Always keep in mind that we are fans. We don't play for the Patriots.

It's kinda funny, everyone's spent the past 5 years comparing Edelman to Welker, despite that not being a great comp. Now they're comparing Beasley to Edelman, when he's more of a poor man's Welker.

I think a lot of people just assume any under-6-foot white guy must play the same way.

Romo has all day to throw, wonder if the Giants will be able to stop them at all tonight

JJ Watt-like.

Aaron Donald not only ended the game with a TFL, he dominated all day. 9 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 TFL's and 3 QB hits.

Lot of costly wins in the AFC today. If Suggs is done, Baltimore's screwed. If Cromartie and Mangold are done, Jets are screwed. Not as bad for the Broncos, although DT, Ware and CJ Anderson both went down and looked if any have lingering problems that'll be trouble.

The Jets will be fine DB wise, they really invested in that position during the offseason.

I imagine that Giants defense is gassed. Another drive like that and I don't think there will be anything left in the sails.

So many fumbles today.

Well that was weird, got confused seeing Daniel Fells since I thought I saw him playing for the Cardinals earlier today. Turns out there's another TE named Darren Fells over there, same number no less.

And apparently they're also brothers. Go figure.

Awww. So sad.

Never even got a chance to see Vereen on that drive...unless this fumble gets overturned.

Hahahah, I had the exact same train of thought. I was like "am I crazy???" Thank you for confirming my sanity.
