Bowe dropped 2 3rd down catches that would have moved the chains an easy 1 that would have taken the game into OT. That alone is huge. I could swear there were at least 2 others that he had his hands on but didn't hang on. You know the saying, "big time players make big time plays." There's also another saying I know you're familiar with as a receiver which goes "if you can touch it, it's catchable." Bowe better step it up quickly or I'll be first in line to call for the return of Sippio. I think you pretty much know I’m just jacking with you wrt Whitlock.

It's funny how people lose their minds when I agree with him, only to agree with him themselves a week later.

B Movie did not own up to anything and if that was not bad enough, he even went so far as to claim he had a good game. If he can't acknowledge that he played bad, where's his motivation to improve? 5 drops is what I counted. 2 of those drops would have a sustained drives. Not saying Bowe shouldn't be the #1, just saying he better own it when he plays like "No Show." Wingman,

Our QB's didn't look terrible when they were in there, and Brodie actually looked above average before the contusion. They played smartly, beside Huard's attempt to get a huge chunk of yards in one play, as time was winding down, which resulted in a pick. I can understand his frustration though. I probably would have tried to go deep too, as you don't wanna give the ball back to a former 18-1 team, with 4 (or whatever it was at the time) minutes left, when they've run like hell over us all day long. In next week's game, I want to see Cox getting involved, Cottam; before he breaks his leg again, at least, getting involved. Going into the game with only 3 wide receivers was definetly a mistake, but they still could have done something. They didn't mix things up alot. I was hoping to see Savage out in the slot. Anywho; here's the players who I thought deserved accolades, and dishonorable mentions. Our whole secondary played well. Randy Moss had over 110 yards, but he didn't get any of that in crunch time, and well.. if you give even Matt Cassel enough time, Randy Moss is going to get open. Safeties played good/great, Pollard is now everyone beside the Patsies' favorite player. (On a sidenote, can you believe Randy Moss, in a press conference, said that Pollard was dirty? Seriously, wtf? Stfu Randy.) The DE's also played increasingly well, especially against the run. If we had generated ANY kind of consistent push up the middle, my my. Boone looked good when he was out there as well. I don't remember hearing Tank or Dorsey's name all day long. Sad. I had high hopes that they'd come out fresh out of the gates and dominate. Dorsey hasn't looked great this whole time, even against 1v1's, where he should be straight beastin'. Overall I think the D deserves a B-. We played well, but with better calling (BLITZ THE HOLY HELL OUT OF THEM YOU #$%^@%&!# was yelled at my TV a couple times) we could have done better. I think we had a safety there, at least once. Overall, good job by us to keep the high powered offense (and I don't wanna hear it's because Tommy B went down, because Cassel ended up having almost the same numbers on just one freakin' play, out of the endzone. Matt played well today, and the guys around him are 'unstoppable' (at least last year they were.) Offensively, VANILLA VANILLA VANILLA. I want some freakin' chocolate. Throw me some strawberry, hell, I'll take neopolitan. But for the sake of everything Holy, don't let Chan be a Solari-esque coordinator. My heart just can't take it. He will literally kill me if he keeps that BS up. And yes, that playcalling was BS. I could do better, without knowing the playbook, by saying "guys, block towards the left, Brodie FAKE a handoff to LJ, pump fake once, quickly, towards D-Bowe, and then shovel pass to LJ." Jesus, it's not hard to come up with plays, the announcers said we installed a whole new play package in JUST for Jamaal Charles. Well Jeezey Pete let's install a whole new package in general, because we sucked. Obviously I'm a bit angry with the play-calling (on both sides) but despite that, we played a helluva game. I thought LJ was too timid at times, of course, at times, he was smothered. I noticed he looked angry when he was constantly being taken off the field on 3rd downs. I was hoping that'd put a chip on his shoulder and we'd see a glimpse of LJ from 2005/2006. Nope. QB's played alright, despite having a porous line and getting nailed. Props to Brodie for sitting in the pocket a few times and just getting shalacked, but still delivering the ball. The kid's starting to put the mental aspect of the game together, now it's a question of durability. One thing I'm not happy with is RECEIVERS. I know we only brought 3 to Foxborough. D-Bowe. Webb. DVD. Not exactly my dream-team. Webb had a couple nice catches but overall was ineffective. DVD didn't even have a pass THROWN to him until the waning minutes of the game. And if DVD had been any KIND of fast (even my big ass would have trucked into the endzone!) he would have scored on that pass. He split the defenders perfectly, but if you look at it again, Webb clearly outgains him, as do the defenders, so he gets pwned. We ended up not scoring, so I hold him accountable for part of it. You can't come in and get ZERO catches in all pre-season + 95% of the first game, and then not be able to perform 100%. I've seen a couple DVD plays in Baltimore, and he certainly didn't look that slow. Maybe it's just me. Well this post is already extremely long so I'ma cut it short.
