CPFC BBS - The NFL thread

Got up this morning to watch the game and forgot to zap the programme immediately after but luckily I didn't need to (sorry Ben, Strathers & Elliott).

Enjoyed the first half, which I agree with Ben, Miami just about took the honours but the second was a special teams bonanza ... I guess you could say lucky but I guess you make your own luck. The punt and kick blocks, would you consider that bad plays by the Phins or credit the Pats? I'm not sure ...

It's a shame it turned out like it did as the Phins put some good pressure on Brady and could have been a lot different ...

On the Kick Blocks, they were planned off game film of the first 3 weeks.

Great stuff though.

First blocked Kick since 2007 season for the Pats.

First blocked Punt since 2006 season for the Patriots.

First ever team with a Passing TD, Rushing TD, KR TD, Blocked FG TD and an INT TD.

Team played with a chip on their shoulder.

They still had them on their shoulder at the end and looking for revenge on the Ravens in 12 days time.

One positive:

Vontae Davis is now one of the top ten cornerbacks in the league.

Totally shut down Moss. (First time the big man has been held without a catch in a Pats uniform, for those who didn't watch.) Well played, Kiddo.

No shame in being Bess or Wake this morning either. Shame about the other 50...

Real potential star there though.

Bess took what he was given. The Secondary didn't want to be beat deep. I'm surprised there were less Quick Slants to Marshall and let him run after the catch.

Davis is incredibly good. No doubt. Moss was asked after the game what happened and he said "Part of the gameplan".

Fair enough. If Tate, Welker and Hernandez are catching it, seems to be fine with him. It's the answer of a man who wants a Ring before he retires.

Some good pieces to the Miami team, few bits missing on the Offense, they'll come with time.

Just needs to click.

Panthers wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett shoots himself in the foot by being arrested for a DWI. He's already been overlooked this season in favour of rookies like Gettis and Lafell. Then, with Steve Smith injured on Sunday, he does this. 2nd DWI I think, too. So that's probably it for him.

We were outcoached, outspecialteamed (that's an understatement by the way), and outquarterbacked. Brady showed at the end that he really wanted this one; I'm not sure our boys did. Certainly the belief that they had the first three weeks disappeared pretty quickly (and perhaps understandably) after Henne's first pick, on a drive which could have put us 14-3. That was the sickener, and then the Tate kick return suffocated us.

With the Packers, Steelers and Ravens next, make no mistake: our season is already over. And with the Bills in contention for 0-16, I'm forced into doing something I never hoped I had to: cheering for the Jets and Rex Ryan. Can't believe it's come to this.

I'd rather dig up my grandma, beat her to death and re-bury her than cheer on the Jets. :D

The Vikings are close to signing Randy Moss from the Patriots!!! Could be a great addition.

Would that be erm, regular publicly accessible film of the Dolphins, or um, more 'secret footage'.....

Randy moss to the vikings. Wow.

Interesting.

Maybe Tate and Price can step up and are ready.

Tate has more catches than Moss as well.

Real shame though. Freak of a player.

Rumblings of a bit of a bust up yesterday between Moss and Bilicheat.

I don't see that to be honest.

Bill and Randy actually got on well by all recognition. Better than I would have thought.

Moss and Kraft I could understand though.

I'm intrigued by it all.

He's 4th in receptions on the team and targetted once on Monday on the fake spike slant to the back shoulder.

Bill acknowledged that it was part of the gameplan to use him as the decoy and clear out room for Hernandez, Tate and Welker as well as the Running game.

Monday Night.

Guess who is returning to Revis Island? :D

It's for a 3rd rounder which is a lot cheaper than V Jax wouldve cost. Be interesting to see if he can hook up with Favre straight away.
