CK7 was money last night 4 tds hasn't been done since Jeff Garcia. Yes the snaps did piss me off and he has to get fixed ASAP. But for a kid who has only started 5 games the dude is money. I think we may have finally found a franchise type QB to build around.


The game plan was great to start but did get a bit conservative but thats just the way JH coaches. The defense was balling in first but those dudes made adjustment they are pretty good also.


Big props to Crabs I have been down on him since he held out but they dude is stepping up lately and is finally living up to that draft status.


Akers I think they should dump him before the playoffs because he just cant be trusted.


Also the refs were just horrible the punt play took forever to sort out. The PI on Brown was complete BS and the Walker fumble was not a fumble.

My impressions:

1.) Ginn drives me crazy. He is definitely gone after this year. His only asset as a returner is that he is sure handed and usually gets about 10-15 yards on most punts. Now his hands are an issue and we don't reap the rewards of him running a few back. I would rather see Kyle Williams, LaMichael James, or a rookie specialist (Denard Robinson, maybe?) David Akers too. He was nice last year, but he has lost it. We probably have to ride the playoffs out with him. It is too risky to bring in a new guy this late.

2.) All of the people calling for Fangio and Roman's heads are being ridiculous. Yes, Fangio changed the defensive scheme to more of a zone for much of the third quarter. I understood his thinking. Keep the explosive offense in front of you and make them earn what they get. The last thing he wanted was to have Brady drop a few big plays over a blitzing defense. The reason the Patriots were able to come back so quickly was because the Patriots offense made an adjustment and took advantage of a tired, banged up unit. Blitzing the crap out of them instead of playing zone might have worked, or it might have been ineffective for a defense that was exhausted. They showed up when they needed to and that is what matters. I also thought Roman called a great game. Unfortunate turnovers, bad snaps, and a few overthrown balls were the biggest killers. Don't you realize how lucky we are to have an offensive coordinator that mixes it up? Don't you remember Jimmy Raye or Hostler? When the offense is clicking we praise Roman for being an innovator. When it stumbles we say he is getting too cute or too vanilla. With the lead last night, Roman went to a power running game to drive the nail into the coffin and wear down their defense. It was also to take pressure off a young QB who was having trouble holding the ball. His calls made sense. Credit the Pats' defense for answering the call. Fangio and Roman brought these units back from the dead. Not every drive, quarter, or even game is going to be perfect, but I definitely trust the plan. Hindsight is 20/20. It's easy for us to say where things went wrong after the fact. Try looking at the intention of the calls and realize that we still got much more right than we did wrong.

3.) The offensive line has regressed. Their pass protection has gotten worse and they aren't getting to the second level in the run game. Wilfork and the Pats linebackers are just as responsible for the comeback last night. They dominated the line of scrimmage in the third quarter and it was because the line was missing blocks, getting holding penalties, and losing ground.

Whoa! I agree with everything you say here!

I know, . . . I'm calling for an appointment right away.

I'm not usually critical of mods here....

...but the thread merging here has gotten rediculous. My thread starter isn't until like page 5 or 6 now. This is totally lame.

I've been doing these every week for 2 years now and if the mods are gonna screw them up I won't even bother.

So its all over the ESPN boards. Apparently New England was stopping the clock all through the 4th quarter last night and buying their team extra time. Anybody have the game recorded that could verify? I would be really curious to see if this was true. Several posters said the clock stopped at least 4 times when it was not supposed to.
