You’re right of course. Thanks for alerting us to make the correction.

Hey PD,

The Special Teams coach is Scott O’Brien. The secret Offensive Coordinator is Bill O’Brien.

Fair enough, but take a slide at the 20, don’t fight for yardage at the 26. I think we can all agree on that plan.

are we sure McKelvin’s decision to take it out was bone-headed? if he kneels, the Pats get four clock stoppages with the two minute warning. If he runs for 6 seconds or so, the two minute warning goes off when there would have been a clock stoppage anyway, on the change of possession. Malign him all you want for failing to protect the ball, but depriving the Pats of a clock stoppage seems like a decent plan to me…

Wait- who’s Jeremy?

I think Jeremy was using a little-known literary tool referred to as sarcasm. Irony, perhaps.

“How about that Ben Watson? I always knew he had it in him.”

Really??? Thought you and Shaughnessy were not impressed by Watson.

That Sheriff guy’s right!!

Too much homer-cooking here, teach. Dropped passes and poor timing abounded in the passing game, for one thing- your love for wide recievers and QB’s worldwide has certainly influenced you in an overly passitive manner. C+ is more like it, a B- at most.

And as for Coaching, if B+icheck gets a B+ for basically a Blindly lucky win at home against a pretty darn young and heretofore poor team- (what, did The Great One make that poor sap run the ball out of the end zone on the final kickoff? But for that brainfa’h't, well, perish the thought)- well, how high can you go when he actually DOES out-coach a REAL team this year? Nah, the Coaching- also terribly average. Darth Belicheck gets paid to make it work- it didn’t really actually work, but he lucked out in the end. Give ‘im a C and tell him to hit the film room. The New York Blitz is coming.

JG-

In my book, a grade of ‘C’ is average…. Considering that the Bills played… no wait… STARTED three rookie Offensive linemen, I think you were being most kind to the Pats. They should have had their way with Edwards last night.. Don’t blame it on the ‘no huddle’ and they D getting tired. Let’s face it. The Bills, a below aerage team on a good day, made the Pats, an above average team on a bad day. look baD… and yes, I capitalized the ‘D’….. as in the grade they should have gotten.
