Just to add a few of my own... - How hard is it for us get the ball to TJ & LW in straight screens or bubble screens or sweeps? -Short of the Seminole, we're way too predictable on offense, spread that shit out. We don't have a halfback option or reverses in our playbook? -Our vaunted D has done everything asked. Now I ask them to cause mayhem. Create turnovers & score some points. It's fun, trust me. I thought we were tentative against the Saints. Sure, we held them to 10 pts. but no sacks, ints. or very much pressure on Brees...and no defensive scores/points.
Obviously then you didn't see the "roughing" the passer call against the Ravens yesterday when Suggs was knocked to the ground near Brady's knee and brushed him not hit him and they threw a 15 yard flag against Suggs. The best part about the whole thing was Brady's fake limp after it went down.... I've always hated that smug bastard but now I truly want to see him leave on a stretcher... somebody should tell him this isn't the EPL. I love soccer but this is the NFL and pulling the shit he did yesterday is a disgrace to the game...then again it's the Pats so they don't mind disgracing the game if it gets them a W. As far as your last point... I don't think the Colts are the best team in the AFC. I still think Baltimore, Pitt and the Pats can beat them. Don't forget Jacksonville was a 2 pt conversion away from tying that game in INdy in the 4th q in week 1. The other thing is when we play them we should be able to get alot of pressure on him and force him into making alot of mistakes. He has never played well when pressured heavily. I think the Giants and Saints are very very good though but apparently Eli's heel injury may be worse than what they originally thought.
What I find ironic is the Pats for years have complained about the league catering to Manning (which is true) and now here we have Brady, crying to the official to throw that damn flag. And speaking of smug, I really want a house to crush Bellicheat. Can't stand that fucker! Sorry for the off-topic.
I actually caught that on SportsCenter last night. Ray Lewis was practically in tears, and I don't blame him. He's absolutely right, Tom Brady is a man and should be able to play like a man. That flag was ludicrous, especially when you consider what was done to Sanchez. Unbelievable. The Colts are debatable, I'll admit. The Giants should be okay. Eli can play through the pain and he's not exactly the most mobile QB in the NFL to begin with. I think the Ravens are the best overall team in football. I just quoted Shefter's quote of Berman. I think the Saints are the #2 in football. After that would be the Giants, and then the Colts.
