It really does feel like that the pats defensive never evolved in to anything better than...well...just sucking. Just let them walk a TD in.

Yikes, our sieve-like defense allows Raiders down the field in 3 plays to the goal line then the score, Brady better have the A+ game today again as our "D" is the worst..

Damn, Pats safeties and CBs suck ass. And the idiot that came up tackling, he didn't even touch him.

cannot believe the 'defenseless receiver' calls called on the punts in the redskins/rams game against the redskins when they hit the receiver AFTER he caught the ball when NOT calling for a fair catch.

can't believe they called it twice. one of those caused a fumble as well which would have made a huge difference in the game.

i will be really surprised if this isn't brought up on sportscenter or made national news.

Not at all, last week they just flat-out pounded the Jets, Big mistake there by Campbell on the pick, that's the only way our D gets off the field nowadays..

I didn't see the full game, but I did see one of the defenseless receiver calls (not sure which) and while I didn't agree with the call (meaningless as I have very little football knowledge) I doubt this will make national news. The Skins won the game anyways (woo) and it sounds like the Bills/Bengals incomplete call is a much bigger deal.

In short, stop overreacting :p

New England just lost their best player on defense (Jerod Mayo). Knee injury, looks bad. Kyle Love and Woodhead also out. This is beginning to look like Colts last season.

Well the Cowboys are perpetually overrated, but all of this talk about the Eagles being a "superteam" looks like nonsense now.

Just goes to show that no matter how much talent you have at the skill positions, without a solid offensive line, you haven't got much. Same goes for a defense with amazing corners but very mediocre linebackers. Oh yeah, and the "Wide 9" defense lead by an ex-offensive line coach? What could go wrong? The only thing that keeps Andy in Philly at the end of this season is a superbowl win, and that's highly unlikely.

And he's a team captain, (Mayo), at least our ground game with impressive rookie Ridly, 5 carries, 69yds, kid's got heart and speed to match, good run blocking so far today too..

has nothing to do with winning/losing. it should be brought to the national level to get attention because it is basically how it SHOULD NOT be called. it was a totally botched call, not once, but twice. the whole fucking point of a fair catch is so that you don't get leveled as soon as you catch the ball.

basically them calling this is saying you can either make a fair catch, or you dont and you can get hit and get 15 extra yards.

NFL officiating is becoming a fucking joke. On top of the stevie johnson call Fred Jackson's right arm was held behind him on third down in the first half.

The Seymour penalty on Tom Brady, yeah maybe, but I didnt hear a whislte and if that play was dead why didnt the ref standing right there blow the whistle that was in his mouth to let him know the play was dead. seems the only one that knew it was dead was Brady.

Now they pick up the flag in Oakland!?!?!

Some say the NFL cannot be rigged...Yeah right officiating decides plenty of games that are meaningful.
