So anyone else think that the Pats were trying a bit too hard to ensure that Randy Moss either equalled or outdid T.O. today? Their numbers are nearly equal, I don't think Brady even looked at another receiver in the red zone until the 3rd quarter, and they both got in on a play on defense late in their games. Plus even though Owens got to 1000 yards first, Moss eclipsed him tonight and is now the NFL's leading receiver in both yards and TDs (by 4, no less).
Obviously Moss is a great receiver, he's gonna be your number 1 target, and the Bills had no answer for him tonight, but the near-parallels between his and Owens' performance are impossible to ignore (especially the defense thing - that really convinced me this was more than mere coincidence), as is the fact that after tonight Moss has regained the lead in the aforementioned receiving stats after being tied with or behind T.O. for about 2 hours.
Are the Pats really so good that they can concentrate on stupid one-upping crap like this rather than just throwing TDs to any of the other 6 receivers who are open on every play? So much for being an unselfish team that shares the wealth and doesn't put individual stat-padding over the good of the team (at least that's how the jock-sniffing Boston media describes them).
Ah, who am I kidding - I'm just pissed that Brady didn't dish a couple of those TDs to Welker so I could have dominated the league for the second time rather than Ben doing it for the 4th.
Chris, not that you could have done anything about it, but how does it feel to have 23 point lead going into the Sunday night game and end up down by more than 40? Have you hung yourself with your shiny new tie yet?

Anything you can do...

Yesterday's disaster leads to several talking points.
Let's start with the Patriots, err Terrorists.
Coach, if you are going to dress like a lazy ass college student on her way to an 8 AM class, then utilize all of your accessories. Put your hoodie up! The headband does nothing for you, or your feathered wispy hair spilling out over it. You are now the headbandie.
Until this week I didn't get the hoopla about running up the score. All the players are paid. And so if you want to go out, lay down, and get pounded on... go right ahead. Then I saw it with my own eyes. Headbandie going for it on 4th and 1 while already up 35-7 was too much. When is someone going to get pissed off and put an end to this. Every defensive player in the league should be looking to hit Brady late and concuss his ass. DBs should be blasting these WRs in the package every time they come across the middle. When is this garbage going to catch up to the headbandie? If Brady is in the game week 17 4th quarter, then he deserves to be destroyed. You are not playing Madden headbandie, you can't hit the reset button.
To SCFF #2 team... Here is some advice, QUIT! Have you looked at the schedule? The Terrorists, err Dynamite are playing the Dolphins. Don't even go to the trouble of setting your lineup and getting all hyped up. You are already a loser. Just give up now before you hurt yourself. Certainly the headbandie has something up his sleeve, err hoodie pouch, to rub it in Shula's face.
Dear Donovan McCrap, thank you for putting me out of my misery. Your jacked up ankle saved me from an even lower score. Hopefully you are out for the season, because I can't handle any more of your good games while on my bench and terrible games while in the lineup. You suck. Get out of town.

I think I play the Dynamite next week. But there's hope!
"Reid said the thumb on McNabb's throwing hand also is "quite swollen," but is not broken. McNabb injured the thumb late in the first quarter but it did not begin to swell until later in the game.
"I'm as worried about the thumb as I am about the ankle or maybe more," Reid said. "That's what he grips the ball with."
...
If McNabb cannot play, A.J. Feeley would start in his place. Feeley was 13-for-19 for 116 yards, a touchdown, a pick and an 80.2 passer rating in relief during Sunday's 17-7 win over Miami."
OK, that doesn't actually sound all that good, but they will be forced to give the ball to Westbrook now, and it has turned out well lately when Donovan's injuries limit Reid's options.
And I suppose it doesn't so much help me as to make me look like a goof for taking Alexander over Westbrook. Stupid draft guide.
Anyone else catch PTI at the half of the Monday night game when "my boy" Kornheiser completely echoed my thoughts on the whole Owens-Moss competition? Maybe I have a future at ESPN.
I agree with John Madden. "You can't be mad at the offenses. If you're a defense then it's your job to stop them from running the score up on you. Make a tackle. Make a turnover. Make something, anything happen."
