Re: Gresh brought up a good point last night about the refs What were the bad calls against the Ravens?

Precisely. I had the same reaction to the story as in - how is the fact that these thugs are hispanic relevant to the story? If Tunescribe had been accosted by four white guys with green eyes and brown hair, would he have described the encounter as "this group of white guys with green eyes and...

Rather have the Superbowl but that isn't going to happen so I'll take an early pick which hopefully we'll be able to trade for extras. We have a lot of holes that need to be plugged.

Why does everyone think that nothing will come out of the meeting on Tuesday? Considering the protections that Walsh has against being sued as well as the fact that he's a thief and rumour starter, I would be very surprised if he doesn't say either 1. he taped the Rams SB walkthrough or 2. some...

This was my reaction as well. If we need to "get to the bottom" of every rumour, then shouldn't that one be looked into, particularly since an NFL official also saw the telescope. Also, if I claim that I videotaped the Pats practice for the Colts prior to the '07 AFCCG is the league also...

Really? Well, Kelly's remarks make him sound like somone with self-esteem and perception issues so jealousy certainly isn't out of the question. Only an incredibly insecure or egotistical person could perceive BB as "thinking he's better than others" from BB's public persona which according to...

Thank you! I was wondering whether I was the only one who thought "why NOT destroy the tapes and the notes"? What purpose would be served for Goodell to hold on to "evidence" when he had already made a decision and no appeals were allowed/forthcoming from the Patriots? What's ironic is that I...

Totally agree with this assessment. This post should have been the 3 AFC teams to beat because I see the Pats right now as the 4th best team in the AFC and that's assuming that the offense remains mostly the same (ie. Stallworth being the only loss). This offense can be held in check by one...

Actually, I thought they played more arrogant than they did "afraid to lose". I think playing the Giants a second time and the way they won the game the first time made them complacent and arrogant. I wish they had eeked out a 24/21 win in the first game and had all their starters. I think the...

Watch the game again or even look at the play by play on ESPN. Maroney ran well when he was given a fair opportunity (i.e. the Pats weren't lined up in an obvious running formation). The more times you watch the game, the more obvious the coaching problems. Even though Maroney ran well in the...

Great job! I've noticed and mentioned the similarities before but you have mentioned some that I never even thought of (i.e. the flip/Brown's strip & tuck rule/JM) I think the most disturbing similarity, particularly for the future, is that like the Yankees moved away from the formula for...

Did you watch the game? At all? Did you not see free blockers coming up the middle at Brady? Isn't it Brady's job to identify where the rush is coming from? Isn't it Brady's job to read the defenses and determine whether it's a blitz or not? Is it too much to EXPECT a "great QB" to throw a...

Totally agree. Also, even having a "shutdown" corner (i.e. champ bailey) isn't guaranteed to give you a good defense. See Denver's D this year. Also see how Denver performed against the Colts with Champ Bailey. I'd like to have Samuel back for the consistency. However, Samuel isn't close...

Actually what's sad about that is that guys were open so the playcall itself wasn't a bad one (especially if you don't trust your kicker or D in a sudden death OT). An accurate QB gets them the ball and wins the game. Unfortunately, Brady was not accurate on his deep balls. OC had too much...

Just watched the game again on NFL replay and three things cost us this game: 1. Brady's inability to read the defense/get his blocking set up correctly. 2. Brady's inaccuracy. This one kills the most. Forget the early missed throws. On the last series, Brady threw wide of a WIDE OPEN...

I'm looking at the replay right now and the screens seemed to work. The ones that didn't work were primarily to WRs and the problem then seemed to be bad blocking by the Pats WRs. The biggest problem I see thus far is Kaczur, Brady/Koppen's lack of recognition of where the Giants were coming...

Early thoughts.... How the hell did we lose this game? Some early reasons: Brady/Koppen didn't recognise the defense. Brady was sacked on a play where THREE Patriots players went to ONE guy while a Giants player came free right up the middle after faking like he was going into coverage...

That's the most frustrating part of this loss and something the apologists don't seem to want to acknowledge. The Dline is the only good part of the Giants D and the Pats should have been able to counter it, even if it meant going to a max protection scheme. It's not as though the Giants have...

Really? I would not care if Coughlin had done what Belichick had done because I don't get the big deal about shaking hands. Is Coughlin enjoying his win any less because Belichick didn't stay on the sidelines? :rolleyes: Someone really needs to explain to me what practical purpose is...

BINGO! We were put into that position because Brady played like a rookie feeling the pressure. Before that play, I said, don't turn the ball over and don't take a sack, we're in good position for a FG. Brady proceeds to hold onto the ball, even when it's obvious he's going to get sacked...
