I don't think I've seen two worse secondaries than the Flagons and the Prats.

I thought that was strange as well. Really dumb decision by Bellichek.

That was odd. Plus his 'prevent injury' rating seems to have gone to hell.

It's always been in the poor range.

Well, time for the Tom Brady show. The only question is if the Pats will leave Atlanta anytime on the clock to have their shot.

Why? The Pats haven't challenged any call today. He has 2 left. Does he really think he'll need 2 in the next 1:40? (under 2, he's not the guy who can challenge)

I'm a little perplexed by that entire situation.

3rd and 9 for the Niners on their first possession, Smith drops back to pass, fires a perfect strike to Johnny Morton. . . dropped ball. Ouch.

That play should be the ballgame. With a first down, under two minutes, and in field goal range. This should be it.

Yeah. Belichek has been pretty poor with the red flag this year.

Is that better? If you'd like to have a linguistic showdown, I would be ever so happy to oblige.

I hope they keep driving for the TD and don't settle for a FG like they did against Pitt.

I wonder if it's possible if there's a rule that if you throw the challenge AFTER calling a timeout, and the call is overturned, you get the time out back? It doesn't seem likely, but I don't know the intricacies of the challenge.

Brady is having one of the best games I've ever seen a quarterback put up.

With the exception of the Schaub run, the officials are doing okay today. That was a big call, though. No way the touchdown was going to be overturned. Not even worth a second look. Belichick probably had already moved on and called the time out to set the defense for the conversion.

Dillon hurt? Hopefully not serious. Zereoue is not exactly a feature back.

Wow, the annoucers in the Denver/Washington game just announced and showed the graphic of the Redskins starting offense before the opening kickoff. Not sure I've ever seen that one before.

Broncos starting two rookies at CB, Champ Bailey out again today.

This Colts/Niners game has ugly written all over it. Ok, it's still 0-0, but that tackling is pathetic.

Redskins have a nice opening drive going. Convert two straight third downs. Then Brunell and Portis combine on a fumble without any contact and Denver recovers. Denver all at the Washington 43 for their first possession of the game.

That was a strange play! The Patriots rushed... well, basically nobody. They had three guys jumping up and down about 2 yards off the line of scrimmage.

WOW, what a move Tatum Bell just put on in the Denver game. 4rth and 1 from the 33 yard line. Denver goes for it and calls the fake inside, pitch outside. Skins had it read perfectly. guy steps up to make a tackle and Bell just torches him. runs 33 for a TD. Denver 7 Redskins 0.

Why do teams run on 2nd down & 1? Go for the deep ball and save the run for 3rd down if it doesn't work!

I think they need a new conditioning coach or something. It's getting plain old silly.

Hopefully Seymour is not out to long, and it seems Poole and Gaye are on the verge of returning.
