Re: The 2011 New England Patriots
Nice win out of the Pats. I was worried that an undiscplined young D would be chasing around Tebow all day but they settled down and forced him to throw the ball downfield. Its always the same with these running QB's, be it Kordell Steward, Doug Flutie, and now Tebow. Don't run around the backfield chasing them, make them beat you in the air which they usually can't do.
Other thoughts:
Champ Bailey must be nearing the end, because I remember him killing the Pats in previous matchups. Yesterday you wouldn't know he's on the field except for when he was ******ing out his teammates.
QB pressure is getting much better. Like how they stepped up after Carter's injury. This will come in handy in rattling all the sub-par QB's they could potentially face in the playoffs (really, anybody not names Roethlisberger).
Don't like all the injuries, but the AFC right now is a war of attrition. Houston's down to their 3rd string QB and their top WR is hurt. Steelers have top safety & center out and a battered QB. Baltimore has Joe Flacco healthy. So, everybody has problems.
Can't get over how bad Baltimore looked last night. If you can't beat a Norv Turner coached team, how good are you? D also looked old and slow. I hate to admit it but if Pittsburgh gets healthy this year I consider them the team to beat.
