The O-line has really stepped it up in these first few games, and they generally neutralized Shawne Merriman last week, which we all know is no easy task. <br /> <br /> Also, it was great to see Seau playing with such effectiveness, as well as his typical fire. Looks like he's 100 percent -- and maybe this won't be his last year, after all. Also, I didn't see the agate, but it looked like hard-hitting James Sanders notched a dozen tackles in the first half alone. That can't be true, but No. 36 was everywhere it seemed. <br /> <br /> Haven't seen dominance yet this season from Bruschi, but I'm already launching a preemptive strike against anyone who dares say he's done -- didn't he lead the Pats in tackles last year? Calm down, everyone -- I truly believe that Tedy will get his, but the fact that New England has given up 35 points in three games -- that is, they have yet to yield as many points all season as they've scored in just one of their first three games -- shows that EVERYBODY on D is firing on all cylinders (pardon the cliche).

Haven't seen dominance yet this season from Bruschi, but I'm already launching a preemptive strike against anyone who dares say he's done — didn't he lead the Pats in tackles last year? Calm down, everyone — I truly believe that Tedy will get his, but the fact that New England has given up 35 points in three games — that is, they have yet to yield as many points all season as they've scored in just one of their first three games — shows that EVERYBODY on D is firing on all cylinders (pardon the cliche).

Don't think we can win w/o him!! Hopefully he is fine and the Pats go undefeated!

Too bad John Facenda is no longer with us, or the podcast robot might be in a fight for his job.

Brady got benched late in the game (probably because of the fumble) and Randy Moss was up to his old tricks, blatantly disrespecting the team and the league by giving away a ball -- NFL property -- to a young fan after Moss scored his second touchdown. I just knew that guy was going to be trouble. <br /> <br /> Seriously, it's hard to find anything not to like about yesterday's game -- at least Qs 2-4 -- except that, by failing to shut out the Bills, the Pats denied me 8 points in fantasy football, plus the fact that I missed Belichick's press conference because I had to drive to work. And, because I had to work, that meant I couldn't drink beer while watching the game. So a few problems, after all. <br /> <br /> Regarding Wilfork, I truly believe he went in cleanly but, falling, ending up right at Losman's knee. I'm trying to find the clip of the hit, b/c I don't remember any arm swipe after the fact. Disastrous!
