So I took some heat for saying the Moss move was overrated. Evidently, the NFL held the SB yesterday and the Pats won the Trophy with Randy Moss taking home MVP honors.
Get a grip folks.
I understand that anytime one voices opinions, many will disagree. But some of the responses were kinda silly. I guess the ether made some forget that the mere possibility exists that the Jets simply aren't that good (like I said) and the Pats (and Moss) simply had a great game.
Not like it's a sixteen game season with 15 games left and then the post season, huh?
But you geniuses are right. Randy Moss turned back time and erased a history of being a team cancer, no one will expose the facts that NE can't run the ball, and every QB in the NFL has the same 3-yard pop-gun as Pennington. The Pats LB's are all 25 again, the Jets WR's are a juggernaut, Richard Seymour means nothing to the Pats D, and of course one game "does a season make".
What I can't understand is how the Steelers thumped the Browns yesterday and didn't at least win a Division title? I mean they won by 27, and the Pats only won by 24.
How do you think the Indianapolis Colts feel? They whipped the Aints by 31, and didn't even get a WC birth.
So for all those "bold" geniuses who had the nerve to put themselves out on a limb and offer an opinion after the fact . . . . .
Sir Ross,
One game equals exactly 0.0625 of the regular season. A very small snapshot to be sure. That's not enough of a sample to "Crowm they ####" , and I certainly don't suggest anyone start looking for tuxedo's for the S/B Gala..... just yet.
But, even YOU have to admit....... the Pat's looked pretty damn good!
The Patriots looked good vs a team that they should steam-roll in their sleep. AP for the Vikes looked good against a pathetic Falcs D. The Stillers stomped a mud-hole in the vaunted Browns Defense and so on. Week 1 nearly in the books and what have we learned so far?
- PManning is good
- LT is over-rated
- The Falcons blow
- The Cowboys need to slow the opponents Offense down "a little"
- Oakland is sunny this time of year
- Texas cheerleaders are "yummy"
I remember when the Pats won their first Super Bowl. The first game of that season they lost 31-0, to Buffalo I believe. So yeah, it's a long season. Your anti-Pats bias is showing, though. Personally, I heard just as much pro-Roethlisberger talk as I did pro-Pats and Moss. With or without Moss, the Pats were going to be contenders anyway. But so much can change between now and week eight.
Hold on now, Ross, everyone had said how Moss lost a step and he not the same player he once was, etc... It looked like to me that if you throw it he will still go get it. Now all the hype is there because he missed all of preseason and people thought he was injured and would not be able to put up #'s like that. I was impressed with Rothlisberger he looked lighter and more accurate, who is their OC now?
