Idle thoughts - It's a long bye week edition

[1960Pats]

We found our fletcher replacement in coleman. I think he even got more snaps than brown. If he builds from what I saw yesterday we may have found our #2cb and it is a good development for our secondary.

I really want Dobson to succeed. But the man can't catch it cleanly with his hands consistently and just fight for it in generally. Just a little more ambition on his part and he could have had 2 or more tds on the season. I like Martin, he has the separation I see Dobson gets too but unlike dobs he caught it cleanly yesterday. I like out reciever group, if guys get dinged up we have capable backups.

I'm hoping that some day (soon) the Eagles will decide to clean house and trade Nelson Agholor to the Pats. Damn that kid is good.

The disdain for fantasy football on this board astounds me. I have never seen so much hate for something so unimportant. Why does it bother so many of you that people play fantasy football? It doesn't effect you, why complain about it?

Back to the Pats...

- we smoked them as expected.
- That random WR we got from HOU looked pretty good in limited playing time. Hard to see him passing any of Edelman, Lafell or DA but he could pass Dobson.
- good to see Blount return to form. I would like to see us run for 200+ yards against Indy to humiliate them.
- the OL and coach Dave D deserve credit for a great start to the season
- after 2 weeks of poor run D we were much, much better today
- bye weeks suck

I don't think the Eagles will be cleaning house anytime soon. The way the NFCE looks, they could just as easily win the damned thing as come in last.

Besides, the way the mainstream NFL media is looking to crap over Chip Kelly at every opportunity makes me like him more. He's a guy who has the courage to "do it his way" and to hell with what he mediots think. Whether it works out or not I have no idea, but at least if he's going to go down, he'll go down under his own flag. I have found that "racist" crap that was thrown around low blows tossed by cowards like Chris Carter.

I hope the Pats crush him, but outside of that, I'm rooting for the Eagles every other week.
