All I can say is the pack and the skins I missed that one there is no way they the pack should of beat the skins. It just goes to show that the skins well arent going to be on the top of the eastern division. Now the boys the greatest team just a bad day. However if it were the skins and pats it would of been 42 to 7 as the skins I'll give a edge on defense. GO BOYS
Not a bad day MuleMan, a questionable secondary. I had doubts about it from last year. And what are they averaging per game, about 12 penalties for 100+ yards? And they still can't get off to a good first half.
It actually turned out better than I had hoped. They were in the game for three quarters before the roof fell in against one of the top two or three teams I have seen in my lifetime.
Now the "Boys" know what it will take to be an "elite" team. It was a good test for them. Even they must know now that they are still one or two players from having a championship type of defense.
On the plus side, they scored well against one of the top defenses in the league. Romo is for real though a couple of those passes I thought were kinda risky. But when you don't have a good first half, you are playing catch-up.
Interesting tidbit I read this AM was that Brady tied Roger Staubach for best record after first 100 career starts by going 76-24. Irony is he did it in Dallas.
More ammo in the "Who's best, Brady or Manning" discussions. Now that Brady finally has Manning type receivers he is showing that he can put up numbers as well as wins. Plus he has better looking girlfriends though Manning has better commercials.
In two weeks Pimps "Skins" will become a stepping stone on the Pats road to this years Superbowl. Be interesting to see how Pats react to a better than average defense. "Boys" showed that Brady can be pressured though it doesn't do much good. Can you imagine if Farve had Brady's receivers yesterday?
Speaking of the "Skins" Pimp, did I ever tell you that I swore back in the "60's" that if I ever found out that if any member of a Washington Redskins team had any interest in fucking women, I would go celibate? Hasn't cost me pussy yet!
