10 Observations That May Only Interest Me

1. Glad to repay back the favor when it comes to breaking streaks. I don’t like to see anyone get hurt but nice of the Patriots to return the favor and snap Hines Ward’s streak of 186 games with one reception, especially when they broke the Patriots winning streak at 21.
2. Gostkowski has missed only on XPAT in almost five years and it takes Shayne Graham just over three quarters in his Patriot start to miss his. Shayne does not seem to have the strongest and most accurate leg which at some point, will cost this team. There has to be a better option out there.
3. Good to see the Patriots Defense blitz and put the pressure on Big Ben to make quicker decisions. I would rather die a quick death by living with the blitz than a slow torture when our DB’s are 15 yards back in coverage.
4. DeSean Jackson has to find a better description to find when comparing his team’s effort against the Redskins to that of “caged pit-bulls”. I am sure the PR reps for the Eagles could not of been to happy.
5. Good to see Matt Cassel grow at his position. I know they are probably asking him to manage football games up there with the type of running game they have led by Charles and Jones, but a 16-4 TD to interception ratio is very good.
6. Do we need to know the severity of Brett Favre’s injury every single weekend and the possibility of him not playing? There are plenty of players out there playing hurt and don’t go running to the media. Brady hurts his foot and you hear nothing, Favre hurts his shoulder and he is having a press conference that he might go to Dr. James Andrews. Enough of the drama please.
7. The Jet’s don’t seem to win by much or lose by much; they do just enough to win the game. I would like to see a dominating performance on both sides of the ball or a more complete game before I pronounce them the best.
8. From 1944 to 1948 there was a football team called the Boston Yanks. For any Red Sox lovers out there, that's as good a autoantonym if I ever saw it.
9. If the Patriots remind Terrell Suggs of the Cheerleaders in the movie “Bring It On”, is it safe to call the Ravens after the movie “The Crying Game”.
10. If I hear another report about Brady’s hair I am going to shoot myself. It’s like Brady is the first player ever in the NFL with long hair. Bottom line guys, if Gisele asks you to grow your hair long, you grow it long.

good post but
a little hard on graham. that missed extra point wasnt all his fault it was a bad snap . he has a career 85.2 field goal percentage very close to gostkowski actually. now he is a step down of course on kickoffs and he did meltdown last year in playoffs but he is prob the best available kicker . what u going to do how often does your kicker get hurt?
That's also the worst stadium to kick in throughout the NFL
still, it’s a freaking extra point. Not many excuses
New snapper/holder/kicker combination
Bound to have some missteps. It says a lot when Mesko is now the most experience of the group in a Pats uniform.

Repaying the favor...
1. Ryan Clark’s hit on Wes Welker in 2008 took him out of the game, ending his NFL record streak of 11 games with at least six receptions to start a season. And Welker wasn’t crying foul afterwards like Hines Ward is.
2. Gotta give Graham at least a second game, and evaluate him on solid turf with a full week of practice on a brand new team after being out of the NFL for a bit. I mean, the Steelers fired their veteran kicker after his performance and Jeff Reed complained about the condition his own home field.
10. I’m trying to decide which storyline was/is more annoying, the Tom Brady body-language watch or Tom Brady and his hair. Both are the result of very lazy reporting or the media vastly underestimating what the reading public thinks is news.
Extra note: The last five Patriots-Colts games have been decided by a total of seven points. Yeesh.
Keep the faith!
...and when we beat the Colts, we tend to go to the Super Bowl.
Let’s see if the trend continues.

it's sort of funny with the media
ESPN is a self fulfilling prophecy. If all they do is talk about Favre or Brady, then all people can react to is Brady or Favre.
If ESPN ever programmed their telecast based on fan/site interaction, posts or simple user navigation – sports center would actually be an interesting show.

No.
He was released last off season. He’s all yours. Although, I thought he did a good job, at least we knew what to expect from him (and, btw Coach Caldwell, a 51 yarder was not expected by the fans, at least)…I wouldn’t want him to kick any further than maybe 40 yards out.

Good thing this wasn’t Thanksgiving week.

Hah
I was dosed up to the eyeballs on flu meds when I was admitted to the bar. I stood up and gave an impromptu 30-second speech to the judge and court, sat down, and had absolutely zero idea of what I had just said. I could’ve been chanting the Patriots roster in Swahili for all I knew. Terrifying…

Great Post dude
With the Jets I see your point but in the NFL this year it’s hard to say any team is really tremendous. What I think is worth noting though is that the Jets have been arguable the most consistent team this year.
They’ve been in every single game they’ve played, they’ve won close, they’ve won big, on the road, in OT, at home, etc. They are covering a lot of bases and unfortunately for us Mark Sanchez is still passing EVERY test he’s facing this year.
Granted the last two weeks have been closer then maybe they should have, but W’s are W’s and that OT Cleveland win is a tie breaker neutralizer to our Ravens win earlier in the year.
Jets are much better then I’d like them to be.
I wouldn't say they were in the Packers game
They only lost by nine, but watching the game, they seemed a long way from scoring 9 points.
Maybe not as ugly as the debacle that was our Cleveland game, but they also don’t have a win like our Steelers game.
Ultimately, it’s 7-2 against 7-2, and we still get our home game against them this year.
Just one!
On a few of these, I say to myself…. “yup, you’re probably the only one who cares.”…. while on others, I have to say… “no, I admit I’ve thought of that factor a couple of times myself”…. and on one I say say…. “WTF dude, I’d have to say that 99.9% of Pats nation screams about this week in, week out, how can you possibly think you’re in the minority?”
Any idea which “one” I speak of?
The one you scream about every week?
Gotta be:

GRAMMAR ALERT (friendly correction)
Original: “I am sure the PR reps for the Eagles could not of been to happy.”
Correction: I am sure the PR reps for the Eagles could not HAVE been TOO happy."
The too was probably an accidental mistake, but in an effort to educate the public, the correct form is with have and not of because you are talking about the state of someone in the past tense passively. =)
