All over it dude. Great freakin' game to watch. Far more offense than I thought we'd be looking at tonight. Miami's douchebag "wildcat" offense drives me fucking nuts, but it works well for what their team is. It's way too gimmicky for the NFL but it allows them to control the clock, which is what you have to do with an inexperienced QB. I'm obviously pulling for Miami all the way in this one. The Patriots need all the help they can get at this point!

If you're talking about that phantom pass interference call on Braylon in the end zone, I agree. That was a HORRIBLE call! The officials in the NFL REALLY need to do a better job with the pass interference rule. I see half a dozen of those calls every weekend that are simply ridiculous!

I've been one of Braylon's harshest critics, because he drops way too many fucking passes. That said, the dude is playing his ass off in this game, and the touchdown that got called back (That Jones ran in) was a touchdown, and at the very least, there certainly wasn't "indisputable visual evidence" to reverse the touchdown call that was made on the field, so he should have two td's in this game! Not bad for his debut in a new offense!

Same reason the Raiders can't lose enough for my taste. The Patriots have their number one pick in the next draft for the Seymour trade (a lot good that trade did the Raiders). On another note...what I fucking game. I love this kid Henne...a lot!

He was poised as hell and pretty mobile in the pocket. I'm impressed, very impressed.

The one thing he has, is a strong arm, something Pennington NEVER owned. If Pennington had any kind of arm strength, then Miami would of possibly made it to at least the second round last year. Henne impressed me right off the get-go and was very smart in his decision making, taking what the defense was giving him. I fell asleep before last night's finish, had to wake up at 6. I tried my damnedest but couldn't keep the eyes open. Figures I miss a finish like this, wouldn't of been any other way!
On another note, I could of watched Braylon Edwards first touchdown of the night a thousand times and still couldn't come to a thought of if his second toe came down, or grazed the grass in the endzone. What a call to make in that situation, replay or not.

I have the decision to go with either DeAngello Williams,( who hasn't put up NEARLY HALF of the numbers he put up this time last year, and bar none, plays on one of the most disappointing and pathetic teams of the season) or Pierre Thomas, who has re-bounded nicely from coming back from injury for the Saints and is also a receiving threat out of the back field.
At this moment, Pierre is the hot hand and is in my lineup right now. The problem is, that Thomas is going up against a tough Giants defensive front and it's always a rough outing for RB's going up against the Giants run D. I also have Shockey (who's the Saint's leading Reciever) in because of a bye week for Jason Witten. There is also the question of game plan and who to utilize from two players on the same team.
Even though Thomas is the hot hand right now, Williams is going up against a Tampa defense that is pretty much going up against helium at the moment. Williams is DUE for a breakout game and this could be the one. Thomas is right now my starter, but should I roll the dice and give Williams the shot at starting this week? It's early, but my head says Williams, but gut says Thomas. Thoughts?

Here is the cardinal rule in football...it is ALWAYS about the matchups! Anyone who tells you otherwise simply doesn't understand the game. Williams is on a bad Carolina team who has a great deal of difficulty scoring (meaning his chances are going to be quite limited). In standard yahoo leagues, Williams has accounted for 20 total points over 4 games. Conversely, Pierre Thomas has accounted for 30 total points (or 50% more than Williams) in only 2.5 games (he got injured and missed a game and a half). Also, Thomas is THE MAN in the Saints backfield (Williams is splitting more time with Stewart due to his limited production, thusfar). Finally, Thomas is on a team that scores a fuckload of points and will ALWAYS be the goal line back. When you examine the rush defense of the Giants versus Tampa Bay....Tampa Bay is ranked 28th in the league when it comes to rushing yards per game given up but has only given up 3 touchdowns on the ground. The Giants run defense isn't as stout as you think it is. They're ranked 15th, so really just an average, middle of the road rush defense, based on the current numbers. They've given up 5 rushing touchdowns, so they're giving up more than 1 rushing touchdown per week. Based on the matchups, this one is truly a coin toss. If it were my team, I'd probably give the nod to Thomas, just because I feel that the team he is on will have far more opportunities to punch it in!

You're absolutely correct RWF. My bad. Luckily for me, it won't matter much. The Raiders ALWAYS suck, so whether it's 2010 or 2011, it won't make that much of a difference!

Let me make a couple of points here. First and foremost, Brady suffered a VERY serious injury and had a major knee operation. Peyton Manning had a knee operation prior to last season with an injury that wasn't nearly as serious as the one Brady suffered. After 7 games last season, Manning looked awful and the Colts were 3-4. Three of their four losses were to teams who didn't even make the playoffs (including a 3 touchdown loss to Green Bay)! I can show you articles from dopes who claimed Manning was "done" after starting 3-4 last season. Funny how all those geniuses disappeared when the Colts finished the season 12-4 (meaning they didn't lose a single game after starting 3-4). If you look at the history of NFL QB's suffering knee injuries, there isn't a single guy who has come back from a knee injury and "looked like himself". Carson Palmer, Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb, et. al. There is enough recent evidence out there that tells me that Brady's VERY slow start really shouldn't surprise anyone. That said, the Patriots are 3-2 and have beat some good teams and easily could have won both games they lost! I promise you that in spite of the Travis' of the world claiming Brady sucks and that he's done and that he folds like a cheap suit and all the other moronic statements, Brady and the Patriots will be a team to be contended with in the second half of the season!
