Wow, is anybody watching the NE vs Philly game?

[Nighthawk]

Wow, what a difference when a team actually has a coach who knows what he is
doing and isn't terrified of the opposition. Right now, Reid isn't coaching scared like Dickey does and it is working. This could change throughout the game, but I'm telling you guys, not only do we need to get rid of JP, but Dickey should be right behind him. We're always talking about finding a new QB, well we should be talking about finding a HC who can actually win big games also.

[Mr. Pink]

I liked the onside kick call there! Take chances!

[hydro]

Doesn't look like the Pats will make the spread. :(

[patmoran2006]

Coaching is every bit as important as the players.

I'm sold that Fairchild sucks. I'm sold that Jauron is just very average. And I'm on the fence about Fewel right now. That nickel package he put together today was a total f'n disaster.

[Owen DeBoard]

Is AJ Feeley a free agent after this year?

Fewel has gotten a pass because of injuries, but he is as much to blame regarding this team's performance as anybody. Coaching has been this organization's achilles heel for many years and it will continue as long as Dickey is still HC.

[Nighthawk]

Is AJ Feeley a free agent after this year?

I don't know and I don't care. No thanks!

[Nighthawk]

Man, I hope somebody gets a good hit on Brady tonight!

[kinigirly]

god i love when brady gets sacked :cloud9: though not as much as when he throws a tantrum. i'm enjoying this game so far

[YardRat]

Oh sure....Why didn't the ****er go for it on fourth down on that series?

[hydro]

I wouldn't care for a coaching change for the simple fact that we would just go out and get another mediocre cheap coach. Whats the point if they don't pony up for someone with competence.

Excellent post! Another problem is our cheap owner, but that is another topic.

[MarshawnIsDaMan]

Did anyone just see how Feely just completed that pass with an oncoming, un-blocked blitzer? Threw that pass over the head of the linebacker over the middle for a 15 yard gain. So thats how its done huh?

[Owen DeBoard]

This AJ Feeley kid is pretty darn good. He is picking NE defense apart.

[realdealryan]

Regardless of an interception, Feeley is making a lot of good, quick decisions. JP doesn't make quick decisions, good or bad.

ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN!!!

Blitzes don't even matter when you have a decent decision-maker and a few decent receivers, apparently.

[LABillsFan]

I am going to give Fewell a pass, this team was and is depleted because of injuries, people starting that have no right to, scrubbs signed because even the people they signed because of injury got injured, some of the regs have been out for weeks and with in the last couple games have finally come back. Excuse yes, but a valid one that some are forgetting and let us not forget a couple of points the D is keeping the team in the games, save NE. You can't win scoring 10-14 points a game unless your playing the Dolphins or Rams every week.

[SABuffalo786]

If Philly stays in it until the 4th quarter I'll probably be more into this game than I was for the Bills this afternoon.

Fly Eagles Fly!

[ajsdx]

i don't particularly like the eagles, but until the end of this game they're number one on my list.

[dolphan117]

I am a Philly fan tonight

With 12 players on IR, you're convinced? Wow, you're not tough to please are you?

[Mitchy moo]

Just like Shula. :bad:

[LtFinFan66]

Just like Shula. :bad::rolleyes:

[Mr. Pink]

How the hell did Gaffney stay inbounds on that one? Nice catch.

[Nighthawk]

Does anybody else think the NFL is fixed? How can you not review that from upstairs? He's clearly out...what a joke this league is now.

[Nighthawk]

How the hell did Gaffney stay inbounds on that one? Nice catch.

He didn't...he was out. His knee hit out of bounds.

[Mitchy moo]

He wasn't inbounds but the league wants NE to be perfect so why call a replay??

Why even have a replay in a NE game anyways?

The refs had a flag out to put them on the 1 but it was close enough to just call it a TD.

[Mr. Pink]

He was inbounds, to be honest, but that shoulda drawn a review regardless.

[realdealryan]

Anyone else notice that they are choosing to blitz on almost every play as opposed to dropping DTs into coverage? Give Brady less time or more time? I'm with the Eagles on this one, regardless of the final score.

[Mr. Pink]

He didn't...he was out. His knee hit out of bounds.

His second foot and shin were in...it was clear on the replay they showed...like I said though, it shoulda been reviewed by the booth regardless.

[dolphan117]

He was inbounds, to be honest, but that shoulda drawn a review regardless.That's what I thought too..... And yeah, Philly blitzs a lot, always have since Jim Johnson became their DC.

Interesting to hear how Andy Reid thinks NE's secondary can be exploited. Most games for NE this year they have been up by so much it almost hasn't mattered. Everyone they play for the rest of the year is going to be very interested to watch the tape of this game.

[dolphan117]

Just like Shula. :bad:I just don't want them to have a perfect season. If they win the SB I can live with it (though I think a healthy Colts team will have something to say about that) but if they go undefeated and win the SB its going to be unbearable.

"The Patriots, the greatest team of all time"

"BB, the greatest coach of all time"

Blah, blah, blah. I don't want to have to listen to it. Part of it is wanting Miami to be the only perfect team but a big part of it is just not being able to stand the thought of a perfect pats team.

[Cleve]

Excellent post! Another problem is our cheap owner, but that is another topic.

In my opinion, that's the central problem with the Bills. I sincerely believe this franchise will remain mired in mediocrity as long as Ralph Wilson is the owner - and calling the shots.

[HHURRICANE]

:rolleyes:

Who p'd in your corn flakes? Lighten up.

Big sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dolphan117]

3 and out baby!

[Mitchy moo]

All I have seen today at the local bar was NE with smirks all over their faces, like they are unstoppable. I want the new look on their face to be like they just swallowed a piece of dogsheit, just after they lose.

[Owen DeBoard]

Keep it up Philly your getting pressure on Brady and making the offensive line false start. Blitz Brady and you can knock off the Patriots.

[TacklingDummy]

I want to see the Pats stay perfect.

I am tired of hearing Miami brag about something that happened 30 years ago.

[Owen DeBoard]

I want to see the Pats stay perfect.

I dont want any team staying prefect instead of the bills and I dont think I will ever see that happen.

I'm going to gag if I have to see one more "chuck" pitch, seriously.

[Mitchy moo]

A.J. looks looks 3X better tonight than JP ever did, why did Miami give up on him??

[LtFinFan66]

I want to see the Pats stay perfect.

I am tired of hearing Miami brag about something that happened 30 years ago.:cry:

Though if it wasn't the Pats I wouldn't be too upset. The Fins do need to do something TODAY to brag about instead of riding that fame. The press needs to quit covering it (the Fin part)

[LtFinFan66]

A.J. looks looks 3X better tonight than JP ever did, why did Miami give up on him??Because he blew ass for us

His play in Philly before is why we got him then he played like **** for us:idunno:

[dolphan117]

A.J. looks looks 3X better tonight than JP ever did, why did Miami give up on him??He had a habit of throwing pick 6's with us :ill:

Just like the one he opened the game with..... Since then though he has been awfully good.

[Mitchy moo]

Because he blew ass for us

You watching the game tonight?? Maybe your team blew ass around him?? Maybe?

[dolphan117]

Woot!, TD Eagles. Now leading

[LtFinFan66]

I am watching it Skoob. The team around him was fine. He didn't make the throws for us that he is making tonight

[kinigirly]

lol brady looks SO unamused right now on the sidelines

[dolphan117]

You watching the game tonight?? Maybe your team blew ass around him?? Maybe?He was given a chance to be the guy under Saban and just blew it. Honestly, all he had to do was play well in that third pre-season game and the job was his..... And he choked.

[colin]

what you are seeing with aj is a qb who controls the game. trent has shown he can do that and more, jp just never ever could, not even for a little while.

of course people who know the first thing about football have known that all along, but the jp fans don't like football, just jp and the special olympics

[Mitchy moo]

Looks like a rock so far here, so I guess he got alot better. I hope he torches NE tonight, I mean burn the house down torches.

[hammerbillsfan]

lol brady looks SO unamused right now on the sidelines

i love it!

[Mr. Pink]

I'm still shocked Moss got called for a PI earlier.

And way to go Philly for jumping offsides on a punt attempt!

[Mitchy moo]

Wow, how F-in stupid was it to let Brady back on the field??

[dolphan117]

Looks like a rock so far here, so I guess he got alot better. I hope he torches NE tonight, I mean burn the house down torches.Part of it though IMO is the system, I mean how many QB's have looked awfully good in that offense over the last couple years when Donavan has went down? We traded him to SD where he was the second string QB..... Only to suck it up and get demoted to third string status and eventually either cut or let go when his contract was up. Not sure which.

No doubt though since that first pass that got run back the dude has played very well today.

I'd take him in a NY minute.

[Owen DeBoard]

Nice job TKO!!!!!!!!

[cocamide]

Think Moss will start crying like a little b***h if things don't go his way, or has he really matured into a leader?

[cocamide]

Nice tackle by TKO on Faulk.

[Mitchy moo]

You win the AFC East a month before the season is over, you don't whine.

Nice job by Spikes again but Miami decided to let Wes Welker go, oops.

[dolphan117]

You win the AFC East a month before the season is over, you don't whine.

Nice job by Spikes again but Miami decided to let Wes Welker go, oops.I'm perfectly willing to bash our FO for some of the moves we have made over the years but not that one. We got a VERY good young center with the second rounder we got from NE who should anchor our line for a very long time.

It was a win win for both teams. It sucked to see him go though because he was a favorite. Rebuilding like we are we just needed a starting center a hell of a lot more then a 3rd wr. Even if that guy might be the best number 3 in the league.

[Mitchy moo]

We got a VERY good young center with the second rounder we got from NE who should anchor our line for a very long time.

He's anchoring the Titanic right now.

[ajsdx]

COME ON EAGLES. You're killing me. Just like the Bills.

[dolphan117]

What a mind bendingly dumb throw by AJ.

[dolphan117]

He's anchoring the Titanic right now.That offensive line has been pretty darn good. Best unit on the team..... We just need a QB (Beck?) and a healthy Ronnie Brown.... Along with a bunch of help on D. :ill:

This year isnt on the offensive line though.

[Oaf]

Man, does this game make us look even worse.

[Mitchy moo]

What a mind bendingly dumb throw by AJ.

Time for AJ to earn his paycheck.

[dolphan117]

You still want AJ?

[Mitchy moo]

Old AJ shows up, 3 INT's tonight and they still only lose by a FG in NE.

[kinigirly]

clutch he is not i take it?

[dolphan117]

I think Madden is right about this being a blueprint though. NE looked very beatable today. You have to have very good corners and safety help and you defensive line has to get pressure on Brady. But that D is venerable in the secondary.

[Mitchy moo]

You still want AJ?

I'd like to see our QB's throw for ~350 yards against a 10-0 team.

[dolphan117]

clutch he is not i take it?No, and he has a tendency for pick 6's that doesn't help either. Both attributes were on display tonight.

Though he did play a hell of a game for the 3 quarters or so in between.

[dolphan117]

I'd like to see our QB's throw for ~350 yards against a 10-0 team.Me too :ill:

Like I said though he got his chance here and blew it..... And if you think about it, you take away that pick 6 he threw to start the game and Philly probably wins. As well as he played at times he also threw it away both early and more importantly late.

[Krisinu]

I think Madden is right about this being a blueprint though. NE looked very beatable today. You have to have very good corners and safety help and you defensive line has to get pressure on Brady. But that D is venerable in the secondary.

Probably just a blueprint until next Sunday though. The colts game could have been a blueprint, it probably was until the Pats coached sealed up the holes that the Colts revealed a bit. We'll have to see next week though.

[njsue]

I wouldn't care for a coaching change for the simple fact that we would just go out and get another mediocre cheap coach. Whats the point if they don't pony up for someone with competence.
Such as Marty Schottenheimer.

[njsue]

Kudos to the Philly defense for putting Brady on his ass for losses.

[colin]

the blue print is to exploit the slow front 7, control the clock, and attack brady.

IMO most of the pats short passes are decided on before the snap, there is no progression, he just puts the ball to where they know the hole in the D will be underneath.

if you attack and overload or blitz up the middle, and maybe figure out where they go when they see certain Ds you can do enough to win.

no one is unbeatable, unless jp is your qb then nearly any team is unbeatable.

[mybills]

That pout on Brady's face was so priceless, that it doesn't matter to me that they ended up winning.
