I don't blame Kanell for what happened last night. I blame Shanahan and his shitty playcalling (note to media: stop referring to him as a genius--never was and never will be) and Deltha O'neal. Why we kept him instead of Denard Walker is beyond me.
New England is a DANGEROUS team.They are coached well by Bill Belicheck and led well by Tom Brady.They win last night and Troy Brown dosent get a catch.They indeed have a wealth of wide recievers at their disposal.Miami a wild card team half way through the season?Wont last as Im sure the freeze out is bound to happen.
The Patriots got lucky. No Elam means no field goals. On both of those third downs at the 30, Denver should've run the ball, and then passed on 4th down. No 13 yard net punts, please.

Though the second one turned out all right with the Pats backed up at the goal line, and the eventual safety (which was a brilliant move there).
To Make Jeb Feel Better: ;)
Note to self:
The less I post, the fewer chances I have to look like an ass.
Miami is a dead team. Dave Wannstedt killed Ricky Williams with that 42 rush game on week 3. What I can't believe is that all 3 of their losses are at home this year.
While I will not say the Pats got lucky last night. I will say they got a few breaks. But most of them were from Denver nothing thinking. How can you not field a punted ball after a safety. Bill Belicheck has shown this year that he is a man among boys when it comes to coaching. He has now had 40 different starter this year and he is 7-2. Bye this win and next week it will be Tuna Bowl.

Did you see the Packer receivers beating Walker like the proverbial government mule on Sunday night? I'll bet Viking fans would gladly exchange Walker for O'Neal.

If the Pats got lucky, then what did the Broncos get when Richard Seymour was added to the injured list on game-day, and the referees tried as hard as they could to HAND the game to the Broncos, with no-call after no-call on them, while keeping the strictest handcuffs there were on the Pats.

I expect my favourite team, the Buffalo Bills, to probably finish 8-8.
Don't think the Chiefs will have a perfect record. The NFL schedule is just so grueling that, even in the best of situations, it's almost impossible to accomplish it. If I had to pick anyone for the Chiefs to lose to, it might be in Cincinnati in Week 11.
As for the Patriots, their season is making me believe more and more that Belichick is the best coach period in the NFL. I see that they're playing the Cowboys pretty soon too. *drools over a Belichick v. Parcells coaching matchup*

I hope Miami is a dead team ... they've gotta come to Nashville this week ...
