There wasn’t much that happened on the field tonight that I respected, but Torrey Smith’s performance is one. So here’s a nod to Torrey for a memorable performance under horrible circumstances that helped his team pull out the win.
Congrats to the Ravens. Now back to the Pats drawing board…
6 receptions. 127 yards. 2 touchdowns. Wow.

Brady doesn’t back down from anyone, even Ray Lewis. Game time folks, let’s get it.

It has to be mighty tempting for Belichick to think about putting the balance of Welker’s $9.515 million ($559,706 each week) back onto the team’s approximately $8 million remaining in cap space. With that kind of savings, Belichick might not even want that high of a pick in return. The problem is, there really are only four teams that have the cap space to think about such a trade: the Titans, Chiefs, Jaguars, and Eagles. And they’d probably like to have some knowledge that Welker would be open to a contract extension, and wouldn’t just leave in free agency (perhaps a conditional pick).

Although it’s the same offensive system in many ways, Patriots players have pointed out that there are some noticeable differences now that Josh McDaniels is running the offense. One of the big points of emphasis so far has been the running game. The Patriots have 63 rushes through two games, compared to 47 through two games last season. Some of that is game-plan specific, but even going back to the start of training camp, the focus on the running game has been noticeable to players.
