Thank God! I feel better already and now like our chances immensely.

Poor Mike Reiss. His website got eviscerated, his forum shut down, his mailbag and chat axed.

Worst of all though, he has to work with ESPN and put up with all their BS and not speak out against it. Wonder how much longer he lasts. Would love to hear his uncensored opinion on things after he leaves.

I like the last one.

Who was it the held back on hit Kordell on his scramble for a TD because was worried about a late hit? And Kordell went right past him.

Todd COllins.

Edit: I see someone beat meet to it. That was a pretty annoying play. Felt a little bad for Collins.

Good to know that ESPN is going down the next phase of patriot hate. Rewriting the history book.

Perhaps we should use their site to take snapshots of their own data and ask them if it's correct or if their writers are just that well misinformed...and if it has anything to do with their subscription losses.

I figured I'd isolate the problem for you.
You can thank me later.

Sounds like a job for the ombudsman, if he has time between deflategate reports.

Their mind was made up-Don't confuse them with facts. Didn't they also end the Steelers winning streak with Roethlisberger in 2004?

Yes. Rohan Davey ****-blocked him.

No kidding.....Thats like a Ambassador to the Republicans working for Obama.

Thanks couldn't remember if it was him, Slade or Big Play Willie Clay.

.....and Mike Vrabel had a key sack to close out the game.

Koma said:

LB Todd Collins. Stewart was heading toward the sideline and Collins thought Stewart would be out of bounds when he hit him, so he held up.

I liked Collins. Good player. That play was bad.

And 3 years later signs in New England in what I consider 1 or 1a best UFA signing in Pats history tied with Harrison.

1. Vrabel
2. Harrison

Can't argue with that list at all.

Yea I put the emphasis on SBs but Revis @ $12m and successful at winning a SB and getting an All-Pro season out of him is slightly better than the 3 SBs for a high-quality player and person like Druz.

Wait, I get it...... 11 out of 12 footballs were severely deflated.......11 out of 12 analysts picking NE to lose......very clever.

Bledsoe sucked that game....man did he suck against good teams...always threw a ton of picks at critical times vs teams that didn't suck...

Drew Bledsoe = Brett Favre - luck

Froob said:

If I'm not mistaken, Big Ben's first two career losses were home losses to the Patriots. Started his career 15-0 then lost 2 of next four games both being losses to the Pats.

I had to look it up. His first loss was to the Ravens in week 2. Didn't lose another game until the Pats beat them in the Playoffs. So Started his career 15-1, beat the Jets in the playoffs and lost to the Pats.

He didn't start that Ravens game and NFL rules are only the starting QB gets win or loss. He was actually 13-0, then won vs Jets in playoffs, lost to Pats. Finished 14-1 that year. Then won first 2 games in 2005 and then lost to NE. So yes his first two losses were Pats.
