I have no love for Ray "The Ripper" Lewis, but Welker's wife sure is a poor sport. If her husband and his teammates had played worth a damn the national nightmare would be over. But they came out looking like crap, I seem to remember Welker dropping at least one easy pass, and so Ray's story continues. If she's tired of hearing about Ray, she should take it up with her hubby.

I caught a little of ESPN's morning horror show yesterday and Skip Bayless asked something along the lines of "Why is Tim Tebow criticized/ridiculed for always talking about God but Ray Lewis isn't?" I almost have to give Bayless credit there. He's like a afternoon soap actor saying that with a straight face.

Stephen A. Smith: Because Tim Tebow won't STAB YO ASS, FOOL! I can't believe I even had to tell you that. Keep up, Skip!

Tom Brady's Fault? Who Is to Blame for New England Patriots' Playoff Woes?

Another Patriots season over. Another empty feeling.
After Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game, it is now eight straight seasons without another Super Bowl ring for the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady combination.
All the regular season wins over that span are great, and all the touchdowns and offensive mastery has been fun to watch. But both coach and player have a "Super Bowl or bust mentality," and the New England fans are no different.
So, what has gone wrong?
Is Brady not as good as he used to be or is it that those around him are not?
The answer is it is a little of both. Brady is asked to do a lot more with the offense than he was back in 2001-04. And during the regular season he does just that; and early in the playoffs he continued to lead a potent offense. But there is a noticeable drop-off when Brady and the Patriots move into the later rounds of the playoffs, in AFC title games and Super Bowls since 2007.
Let's look at some numbers (also see Ezra Klein-inspired charts below). In those first three Super Bowl runs, the Patriots went 9-0, Brady had a 62.5 completion percentage, with 11 touchdowns and three interceptions, averaging 216.8 yards per game, numbers that are similar to what Brady did in those respective regular seasons.
Now, the Tom Brady from 2007-12 is asked to do a lot more than the Brady from 2001-04. In the three Super Bowl winning seasons, the team averaged 24.1 points per game in the regular season and 24.2 in the postseason. But, from 2007-12, with Brady as a starter, the offense has put up an impressive 32.6 points per game.
But that is the regular season. During that span, in the playoffs, the Patriots have scored 24 points per game, the same as the less-explosive offenses from 2001, '03, and '04. When the games have gotten tougher the offense has slowed down even more - New England has played five games in either the AFC Championship or the Super Bowl since 2007. In those games, Brady has led the offense to just 17.6 points per game.
What about Brady's numbers? In the regular season from 2007-12, he has completed 65.7 percent of his passes, with 187 touchdowns, 46 interceptions, and averaged 289.6 yards per game.
In the postseason over that same duration, in ten games, he has a 64.3 completion percentage, 22 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, averaging 273.2 yards passing per game.
Just like his team struggling in the later rounds, Brady has too. In the five AFC title and Super Bowl games since 2007, when the defenses get better and the stakes increase, Brady has just six touchdowns with eight interceptions, throwing for 262 yards per game.
He also has made glaring mistakes in these big games. Last year against the Ravens, he threw a pair of interceptions, including a fourth-quarter pick after the defense had just forced a Baltimore turnover. Then in the Super Bowl, he had an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone and an interception when he tried to hit the injured Rob Gronkowski with a deep pass. This past week, against Baltimore, he was intercepted twice and poor clock management may have cost New England points at the end of the first half.
Looking at Brady's playoff numbers, especially separating the early rounds from the late rounds, it shows that Brady is not playing up to the standards he has set for himself when it matters most. He has now been outplayed by Joe Flacco in consecutive AFC title games, and was outplayed by Eli Manning in last year's Super Bowl.
Alright then, It is settled. It is Brady’s fault.
To quote Lee Corso, “not so fast.” Yes, Brady deserves some of the blame. But there are other factors too. The most notable factor being that the 2001-04 Patriots made less mistakes and forced more turnovers than the 2007-12 teams.
New England won those three Super Bowls by committing only six turnovers during the nine games, while forcing 25 turnovers (+19). Conversely, from 2007-12, New England has only 10 takeaways while turning it over 18 times (-8).
Those 25 forced turnovers from 2001-04 tell a story too: it takes players other than Brady to have made those plays. In the recent playoff losses, that is the type of help Brady is not getting. Whether offensively or defensively, in the biggest spots, the Patriots won Super Bowls by making the handful of plays that decide games. That simply is not happening now in the most important games against the toughest competition.
Thinking back to 2001, against the Raiders, before there was any idea of the tuck rule, it took a defensive stand on third and one just to give New England the ball back and a chance to tie the game. In the AFC Championship, Troy Brown returned a punt for a touchdown and Antwan Harris returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown.
The Patriots then won the Super Bowl, and Brady was the MVP. But that game was won by Ty Law returning an interception for a touchdown, by a defense that held St. Louis to only 17 points, by a great catch by David Patten in the corner of the end zone for the team’s lone offensive touchdown. And of course by Adam Vinatieri.
Go through Patriot playoff wins over the years and each one has plays made by someone other than Tom Brady that helped change the game. Ty Law's three interceptions of Peyton Manning; Tedy Bruschi tearing the ball away from Dominic Rhodes; Troy Brown forcing a fumble after Brady had thrown an interception; Corey Dillon running out the clock to seal a win against Indianapolis in '04 or Laurence Maroney doing the same against San Diego in '07.
But think about the five playoff losses since 2007: two Super Bowls against the Giants, two losses to the Ravens, and one to the Jets. Where have the difference makers been for the Patriots? I am hard pressed to come up with an occurrence of someone other than Brady making a game-changing type play in those defeats.
Where does that leave us?
Any honest assessment of the Patriots has to place some of the blame for the recent playoff losses with Brady. He is an all-time great and it is a privilege to watch him play year in and year out. He has earned his reputation.
Brady and the offense can score 30-plus points every week in the regular season and even in the early rounds of the playoffs. That is an accomplishment that cannot be ignored. However, New England has become a team built around its offense and Brady and the Patriots have to find a way to muster more offense against the best of the best. Fifty-point games against the Bills in week four are well and good. Those type of games though feel a little hollow when in Super Bowls and AFC title games, this offensive juggernaut can only score in the teens and struggles to consistently move the ball.
But, Brady needs help. He did not win three Super Bowls alone and can't win another one all by himself either. In the 2003 AFC championship game, Brady did not play mistake-free. He threw an interception in the end zone and then did the same in the Super Bowl against the Panthers. New England though had the players around him to make up for it.
The Patriots since 2007 have been placed squarely on Brady’s shoulders. If he does not play well, or makes a mistake, no one seems able to pick him up when the games are against the league’s other elite teams. His teammates need to catch the ball, his teammates need to pick up important yards, his teammates need to get defensive stops, and his teammates need to force turnovers.
The 2001 Patriots were major underdogs in both the AFC Championship at Pittsburgh (-10) and the Super Bowl against the Rams (-14). They won both of those games and won another AFC title game on the road in Pittsburgh in 2004. In New England’s last five playoff losses, dating back to the ’07 Super Bowl, the Patriots have been favored in each game, with three of the losses coming at home.
Following the Patriots from 2001-04, maybe we took winning for granted, whether the game was at home or not, underdog or favorite. But unless the offense from Brady on down can be more consistent when it goes up against the best, and unless other players are prepared to make the game-changing type plays we used to see so often, Patriots seasons will continue to end not with the familiar championships from early this century, but with the empty feeling that unfortunately has become all too common in New England.
Having Rob Gronkowski healthy wouldn't hurt either.
The worst is that shit coming up in the google news results.

It's not 2001-04 anymore this team has been dethroned many times yet those in the media refuse to believe that they are not that good anymore. Even the great Joe Montana couldn't bring KC a title. Simply Brady may still be putting up great numbers but he's not the great player he once was.
Fact is the Defense is not a very good one let alone an elite one. People have figured out what to do to Brady. Simply put him on his butt. All dynastys come to an end deal with it.

Kwame Harris, former 49ers and Raiders offensive lineman, arrested for assaulting ex-boyfriend
By Frank Schwab | Shutdown Corner – 18 hours ago
The NFL has no current players and startlingly few ex-players who are known to be gay, but it appears ex-49ers and Raiders offensive tackle Kwame Harris, a former first-round pick, has involuntarily been added to the list as a result of the legal fallout from a fight at a restaurant.
According to the San Mateo Daily Journal, a dispute over soy sauce at Su Hong restaurant in Menlo Park, Calif. last Aug. 21, has landed the former NFL player in court after he assaulted his ex-boyfriend.
Chief deputy district attorney Karen Guidotti told the paper that Harris and the alleged victim had been in a romantic relationship but were not involved at the time of the incident. Harris’ attorney Alin Cintean confirmed to the paper the two "were previously involved" but were just friends when the incident occurred.
Harris pleaded not guilty to felony charges of domestic violence causing great bodily injury and assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, the Daily Journal said. The dispute started when Harris got upset at his friend, Dimitri Geier, for pouring soy sauce on a plate of rice.
According to the paper, which was citing a suit filed in San Mateo County Superior Court, the two argued for seven minutes after the soy sauce was poured, and Harris said he wasn't going to take Geier to the airport as he had said he would. When the two went to get Geier's belongings from Harris' car, Harris accused Geier of stealing his underwear and tried pulling the man's pants down.
Geier tried unsuccessfully to get away, and Harris shook Geier and punched his arms, the paper said. Harris is 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds and Geier is 6-1, 220 pounds. The paper said Geier allegedly struck Harris three times in the face, and then Harris punched Geier several times in the face.
Geier was taken to an emergency room, and had surgery to repair broken orbital bones and required a metal plate to fix the damage, the paper said. The Daily Journal said Geier has filed a civil suit against Harris for assault, battery, false imprisonment, negligence and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Harris could also face up to seven years in prison if convicted, Guidotti told the paper.
Harris played at Stanford and was a first-round pick of the 49ers in 2003. He played in 86 NFL games, starting 55, including 11 games during his lone season with the Raiders in 2008. That was the last time he played in the NFL.
Harris' lawyer told the paper his client was acting in self-defense and that Geier is just trying to get money through the civil suit.
“We’re looking forward to having this proven in court and clearing his name,” Cintean said.

Geier tried unsuccessfully to get away, and Harris shook Geier and punched his arms, the paper said. Harris is 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds and Geier is 6-1, 220 pounds. The paper said Geier allegedly struck Harris three times in the face, and then Harris punched Geier several times in the face.
Geier was taken to an emergency room, and had surgery to repair broken orbital bones and required a metal plate to fix the damage, the paper said. The Daily Journal said Geier has filed a civil suit against Harris for assault, battery, false imprisonment, negligence and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Harris could also face up to seven years in prison if convicted, Guidotti told the paper.
Harris played at Stanford and was a first-round pick of the 49ers in 2003. He played in 86 NFL games, starting 55, including 11 games during his lone season with the Raiders in 2008. That was the last time he played in the NFL.
Harris' lawyer told the paper his client was acting in self-defense and that Geier is just trying to get money through the civil suit.
“We’re looking forward to having this proven in court and clearing his name,” Cintean said.
