It's one game.
As a matter of fact, is anyone really surprised that the Pats lost to Denver? That's 3 in a row and 5 of the last 6. Denver is the team that has the Pats #. And as bad as it was to watch, had Gostkowski made his field goal, the Pats would have been driving to tie the game at the end. I almost wish my Tom freakin' Brady article was this week the way the media has been going on about his sulking, hanging his head, looking uncomfortable, making bad throws, throwing the ball away, lack of leadership, etc. As long as they continue to improve week by week they'll be fine. Isn't it better to play great in December than September? Let's look at some bright spots fromt his game shall we?
Who was the guy wearing #26 this week? He looked nothing like the guy who wore #26 the first 2 weeks of the season. He was awesome, making 13 tackles. He had one in particular with the fullback trying to block him, in which he ducked under the block and made a sure tackle on Tatum Bell.
How about the play of Ty Warren, AGAIN! Another solid performance leading the D-Line in tackles.
Wasn't it nice to see Doug Gabriel get some catches? I think he led the team with 6 receptions for 66 yards and a nice TD catch. (Caldwell wasn't great, but he is still showing signs of improvement.)
Did you see the perfect throw Brady made to Brown on the flea flicker? Brown's got to come up with that, Brady put it right in his hands- great throw!
I think that Maroney will learn from this game, though I don't think he was that bad. Many reports talk about him dancing instead of running. Where the F@&% was he supposed to run? Everytime he got the ball he was met in the backfield. He had the play of the game for the pats on that little dump pass when he bounced off the linebacker and ran for 30 yards.
There. I hope that helps everyone get back on the bandwagon. Yes, they'll probably get beat this week too, but let's hope for steady improvement. And PLEASE, don't blame Brady. What would Manning do with out Harrison and Wayne? What would Palmer do without Johnson and Whoseyourmomma? Give it time to develop, the offense will click by December, when they need it to. In the meantime, when you go to the games remind the powers that be that they are 10 million under the cap and that 30 year old McDaniels play calling sucks and that the O-Line has been over-rated by the local media. Cheer for Tom, he's the best player the Patriots have ever had.

I've been telling people pretty much the same thing all week long.
By the way, why the hell does Madden have a job?
Hey Tom, why did you let Barry write the column this week?
I'm in no way off the Pats bandwagon nor the Brady bandwagon (never have and never will), just a little frustrated given some of the circumstances. I saw Brady make that one perfect throw, but what about all the other over/under thrown balls. Maybe it was the receiver's fault, maybe Brady's, maybe the O-Line's, it's still discouraging. I'd rather have Brady than anybody else, any day of the week. But I think we are seeing that you can't just throw ANYBODY into "the system" and have it work. Maybe my frustration should sit more with BB and the front office than with any of the players.
What the hell was up with NOT kicking the field goal on that 4th and short in the 4th quarter?!? Does BB not have confidence in the polak? It's your ONLY kicker. You are required to be confident in him now. Also, why has Tommy Maddox and Vinny Testaverde been practicing with the Pats?
Any thoughts on the re-signing of Hank Poteat? Ellis Hobbs and Eugene Wilson probably won't be in, and Randall Gay is on the IR.
If they win this week I'll probably sh!t a solid gold brick, but I'll still be pulling for them. Thank god we are in a chump division and our schedule rivals that of a powder puff league.
Oh, and Madden has a job because he makes Tur-duck-en every year. It has nothing to do with football. I really want to know what happened to HOT sideline reporter chicks. It's an insult to have OLD chicks report from the sidelines, ESPECIALLY in HD. WTF!! Bonnie Bernstein forever!
Tom... This is killing me. You have to start posting on Mondays too. Wednesday (on a good week) is WAY too long to wait for the post-game.
Anyway... told ya so, Krager!
Unfortunately, I did not sh!t a solid gold brick. I could have used the money.
I'm still right about "the system though." You can't just be thrown into it. It takes you all of pre-season and 3 games into the season to finally have it click. LOL
GO PATS!
