On To Glory

So how smart do I look having booked my flight to Arizona after week five of the regular season. The foresight was there to see that the Pats were a team of destiny, a team bound for greatness and nothing would stand in their way.

tedy
Sunday proved to be just another stepping stone on their way to immortality. A game in which Brady throws not one, not two but three picks in the game, you’d almost have to think that they would lose the game. But of course he stepped it up when it counted in the 4th quarter nailing Wes Welker (speedy white guy) for the game sealing touchdown.
 
In all honesty, what was going through Norv Turner’s mind in the fourth. I know he’s an incompetent dolt that sucked balls as an offensive coordinator in Miami before becoming a joke in Oakland as coach of the Gayders. I mean, Da Guy, Big Jeff, Eli, Matty or myself could have been handed the reigns to the Chargers this season and coached to at least the same record this fucking idiot did, if not better. With nine minutes left on the clock you seriously punt it to the best offense in football? I don’t care how poorly Brady was playing, you do not want to give the Pats the ball with that much time on the clock.
 
And what happened what Turner gave the Pats the ball? They proceeded to run out the clock with Clock Killin’ Laurence Maroney. Who would’ve thought that Maroney would step up so huge after playing the regular season like he was made of glass. This guy is going to basically DHL (or Fleet Courier) the Patriots a Super Bowl ring with his ability to make big runs when it counts (like the second half of the game Sunday or pretty much the Jaguars game) and not fumble the ball.
 
How pumped is everyone to see another Boston team just ruin another New York team’s chance of a championship? There is not a snow ball’s chance in hell that the Pats lose to a Manning (the other one) in the Super Bowl. No chance.  ”But New York kept it so close when they played in December…” oh, did they, stupid? The Pats played out of their minds early in the season in comfortable weather and guess what? Arizona is going to be in the 60′s at game time, sunny with no wind. What does that equal? That’s right, that Pats just stomping on the Giants. 
 
It’s all well and good that the “Cinderella Team” won three road games to get to the Super Bowl, but guess what New York? We’ve been there and done that. Our beloved Patriots won three road games to get to the Super Bowl in 1986 and were humiliated by a superior Bears team that made the Pats look stupid. Get ready to look stupid Cinderella.

Pats Roll Again

Keeping it short and sweet because people probably aren’t at work today or tomorrow.

The Pats were a 22 point favorite and they won 28-7. So Miami covers again, and the Pats lose for the 5th time against the spread this season.  This is the first time the Patriots have defeated all their division opponents in a season. They were oh so close in 2004 before that stinker in Miami. Vindication! 

Randy Moss is just 2 TD’s away from breaking Jerry Rice’s touchdown record. So if Tommy Touchdown can throw two to Moss on Saturday night, he’ll break Satan Mannings record while helping Moss break Rice’s mark. More importantly with a win the Pats will become the 1st team in NFL history to finish a season 16-0 on our way to 19-0.

Wasn’t it great to see Maroney finally show up? And not just show up but run for the tune of 14 carries for 156, an average of 11.1 yards per carry. He had two 50+ runs, one for a touchdown. All this without the top two TE’s on the field.  Let’s hope that this kind of production, even half that, continues for the next month or so. How sweet would it be?
 
Well, on to New York this weekend and a showdown with the Giants. The Giants are in the playoffs so it’ll be interesting to see what Coughlin does with his starters against the Pats. For reference, the line opened at 14.5 in favor of the Pats. 
 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Where Have You Gone Corey Dillon?

Dillon

 Following a week in which your third down back Kevin Faulk was your starter at running back and you relied on your fullback Heath Evans to be your tailback (nothing screams tailback like a fat white guy), one has to ask the question; where is Corey Dillon?

Coach Belichick was interviewed a couple weeks back on the Big Show and was asked if the team would consider bringing back Dillon and coach Bill said that’s not something the team is interested in at this time. Well, then can you tell me what’s wrong with Maroney the Jabroni? Either he’s the most fragile back in NFL history, or is so stupid that he stays in Bill’s doghouse week after week.

 Anyway you slice or dice it, there is an issue at running back for the Patriots. As Al Michaels pointed out Sunday night (thanks Eli for the reminder) Tom Brady’s passer rating is 150 on play action. It’s pretty tough to sell play action when your starting running back is riding the pine for the first half. 

 I know it seems like were pigeon holing it, but when you’re #1, people are gunning for you. You can’t have any weaknesses and going into the final 6 weeks of the season this seams to be a big flaw with the Pats. It wasn’t so noticeable when Sammy Morris was in there running like a young Corey Dillon, but since his injury the Pats look very thin at running back.  So unless Maroney is going to smarten up or toughen up, I say you call Dillon and get him on the team. Ride him until the post season and then take San Fran’s #1 draft pick and get us a franchise running back.
