Alright, let’s kick off Steelers week with this little play from 2007, which is arguably the greatest touchdown of the epic 2007 season. The fact that it just happened to be over that Steeler safety (purposely not mentioning his real name since I don’t remember it and don’t care enough to go look it up because he’s a jerkhole) who had predicted victory for the Squealers, was just the icing on the cake.

I should also point out that I was at this game and it was a certain pregame incident (more to come on that later) that inspired me to begin blogging, which has of course resulted in me making literally tens of dollars.

I was actually in the very last row of Gillette for this one, overdressed so I was comfortably warm (and numb I might add, thanks Kevin!), as a drunk girl next to us somehow peed on the upper wall of the stadium (don’t ask cause I don’t know). But from way up there it was amazing to watch this play develop. 

I actually expect similar type misdirection and trickeration this weekend. The Steelers have an attacking defense and if you can fool them and get them out of position, you could be looking at a big play.

Patriots 28th in Average Time of Possession

by

While most of the offensive statistics for this years Pats are solid (2nd in points, 5th in 3rd down conversions, 10th in red zone TDs) there is one stat that they aren’t so good in and it tells a lot. 

They are currently 28th in time of possession, and their average time of possession in the last three games is low enough to put them 31st with only the lowly Cowboys coming in worse. 

Put it this way, in the last three games the Giants (the number one ranked team) has had the ball, on average, thirteen and a half minutes more than the Patriots. That is staggering.

This is a reflection of two things, the defense not being able to get off the field on 3rd down (they’re ranked 32nd in the NFL) and the offense being inconsistent. It seems that there are two types of Patriots offensive possessions this year: 3 and outs, or quick and efficient drives that go right down the field and end in touchdowns.

The Patriots must find some consistency. This is an area where more sustained drives will help the defense, who will in turn be more rested and better adjusted to get off the field themselves.

A Funny Moment with Tom Brady & Eric Mangini

by

I thought this was a joke at first but it’s true, Tom Brady interrupted the conference call between the Boston media and Eric Mangini today. The transcript is here, but you can listen for yourself here.

TOM BRADY [passing through room on way from press conference]: Hey, what’s your plan to stop Tom Brady this week?

EM [Laughing]: He is such a god in every area. I don’t think it’s humanly possible. I mean, you talk about football player, movie star…

TOM BRADY: You wouldn’t say that if we were just sitting here talking.

EM: I am just so happy I get to talk to him some time.

TOM BRADY: I’ll see ya; take care.

EM [to media]: That’s great; hopefully that won’t be the closest we get to him.

Football Outsiders Week 8: Brady 6th, BJGE 3rd Best

6.Tom BradyNE 16/27 240 1 0 Moss, schmoss. In Weeks 1-4, when Randy Moss was on the Patriots, Brady completed five-of-16 deep passes for 110 yards. Since then, he’s completed 7-of-13 for 220 yards, and also drawn a 29-yard pass interference call on another throw.

3.BenJarvus Green-Ellis NE The Williams Wall has, apparently, fallen. Or at least we know they can get tired. Nine of Green-Ellis’ carries came with a lead in the fourth quarter. He gained 71 yards, and seven of those carries were successful.F

I’m sure Bill Belichick has shown some lowlights this week of this 30-10 drubbing back from 2008. I had purchased tickets to this one in the middle of the summer, then Brady got hurt and well… needless to say it was little less exciting. I still can’t get the “we got more bounce in California” song out of my head.

The worst part of the whole day was knowing I would probably catch some flack about TB12’s injury, I mentally prepared a comeback. The Chargers had lost Shawne Merriman for the year as well so I told myself, if anyone makes a Brady ACL comment come right back with a Merriman comment.

Well, I’m walking into the stadium, decked out in Pats garb and some Charger fan comes up and pats me on the shoulder and asks “how’s Brady’s knee”. And what did I say back? Nothing. I froze. I blame the excessive amount of alcohol in my system. But it was a total George Costanza “that’s what I should’ve said!” moment. 

At least this weekend I’ll still be able to use Merriman as a comeback.
