OK ... just returned from another tedious 'Back to School Night', how much are the Pats winning by?
-11 with 2 minutes to go
MTA: damn that was fast so lets call it -5
MTA2: Crap - never mind. Brady = superman. You never see them in the same place ya know.
Well it wasn't how we drew it up but we'll take the win. Brady definitely looked a little rusty but he sure got his shit together when it counted most.
And I'm with John Gruden on this one: I don't understand the rules anymore. Those two huge roughing the passer penalties against the Pats made no sense to me. It is still tackle football right? But hey, I'm over it now.

+1 I didn't see the first, but the second was borderline at best. Jaws is usually "aw c'mon it's still football", and I was surprised that he seemed to like the call at first. He described it as a pile driver hit, but Edwards was was really thrown along the ground, rather than into it.
The worst part was the Bills bench screaming for a third call because Edwards was within five feet of the sideline when he was hit. The fact that he still had the damned ball shouldn't make a difference, should it? Next thing you know, the QB will be wearing a red helmet and you won't be able to touch him at all.

The first was much, much worse. Basically Wilfork form-tackled Trent Edwards as he was throwing from his own end zone on 3rd and long--he threw it into the turf and the Bills were going to have to punt from their own end. It was pretty much the perfect form tackle that they teach you in pop warner and at every level after that. He tackled him at the belt buckle. The referee called it, "Roughing the passer...going low at the quarterback."

To be fair, even if Wilfork's shoulder hit his belt buckle, his belly probably made contact below the QB's knee.
Was it all a dream?

It's starting sooner than you may think... I heard that Trent Edwards may be wearing a red helmet next weekend!!!
I'm in the business of misery...
I'm really bummed about yesterday's result but hey at least my team isn't 0-2.
Sheesh. It's early yet. Last year we started, what 13-0 or something. We're taking a different approach this year.
But come on Collins. You can't just drop the ball like that.
+1.
my Baltimore friends are giving me hell today...
the unrunner
The Texans did not score 34 points off one dropped ball.
