The Patriots are the first team in NFL history to score on an interception return, a kickoff return, a blocked field goal, a run and a pass.

I think BB saw some defect in the Fin's blocking teams and came up with a way to exploit it, although our "D" still allows to many yards and 3rd down conversions the younger players are hopefully getting a knack for creating some turnovers to help compensate for a weak pass rush..

Thing is, that is what BB does. He makes a gameplan for each game that capitalizes on a teams weakness. After their superbowl teams, their D was shown for what it was, overrated. He has been able to mask a bad D for so long until the team was compromised of all rookies. At that point, none of those rookies could follow a gameplan and they tried to be a shutdown defense, which is what the Pats never were. Why do you think they benched Merriweather a few games ago? Guy is talented, but he never stuck to gameplans and he created an even bigger whole on the defense.

Do not forget. Their passing game was our best defense ;)

Also, I was sad because I was thinking about adding the Pats D to fantasy. I second guessed myself :( Really, can you blame me for not doing it?

Bill ought to send Chad Henne a game ball.

The Dolphins fired their special teams coach today, he should get a game ball. I guess BB noticed something from pre-season and reg. season games the Fins were blocking wrong and we know BB LOVES to watch film and exploited it..

Yeah, the Colts should follow the example of the Dolphins and fire our asshat DC. He has had more than enough time.

Meh, the Jags always get up for the Colts and play WAY above their heads but at the end of the season they won't make the playoffs..

As a long time fan of the 'Fins (since the 80's days of Marino and the Marks brothers), I thought they were on their way when they started out 2-0. Oh well, always next year.
