Now if we can just get Wes to stop giving interviews with Bonk Breaker hats on...LOL

ya that cost him 10 grand
Welker is 93 games with a reception and counting now
Gronk sets 2 NFL records today
Brady throws for over 5000 yards
Hernandez has an outstanding game
but the defense is lacking
oh well
Your right, he does mix up the 3-4 4-3 a lot, many nickles too
he does what he has to
maybe time for a D coordinator and time to get players who can last most of the season. We didn't have a great defense to begin the year, now with all the losses along the way they have to do the best they can. No Andre Carter who has been awesome this year(really sucks losing him), but we still have Anderson, we got back Chung and Spikes today.
The offense can make up for some of the defense but the O has to execute better off the bat.
It's the NFL, the other team gets paid too
I think if they end up facing the Bengals in the div. round in 2 weeks, we can get by them, but even hosting the AFC championship game will be a tall task to beat Baltimore or Pittsburgh. Time will tell.
I just hope Houston losses again next week so we can avoid the Steelers in that div. round.

I hear your frustration Saltheart, they can't seem to get off to a good start later on in this season. Time to step it way up

But oh, the sweetness of seeing the Dolphins send Rex and his poor Jet fans packing for the year..... As evidenced already over on SOL, Jet fans are left with nothing to focus on but hating on NE for the next six months. Can't wait to hear how the locals 'cheated' their way into the playoffs this year. You know they would love to have BB in charge of the on field product. It's also one thing to know you're relying on Brady to keep your various pieces in synch. It would really suck as a fan to have to put that faith in a Sanchez, or Romo.....

The only problem is spotting some of these teams a couple of touchdowns, cause they all have the capability to play as good as us or better. Maybe it's time to take the ball first if you win the coin toss, jump to an early lead. The D, and special teams plays better as the game goes on and maybe they will make better plays on the opening 2nd half kick off ..

why not some interceptions in the first quarter too
