    The goddamn Giants better not be in another SB ever against the Pats. I don't think I can handle it if it happens again.

    What's gonna be more fun this year? Watching the Pats demolish defenses or watching the debacle with the Jets?

    The debacle with the Jets. It's already funny watching that team.

    I would love to see the Pats demolish defenses. But unless the O-line steps it up in the next couple week's, Brady's gonna be a hurtin.

    I disagree ... but whatever, they are good ... and the season starts tonight! (Love the NFC East games, always entertaining)

    Pats get a match up with the Titans in Nashville. No Kenny Britt, thankfully ... but Chris Johnson looks to be back to his old, dominant self. Curious if Munchak will play the revenge card based on the last time these guys met (59-0 - Pats).

    Intrigued to see how the new cats on defense perform.

    Anyway ... it's football season!

    T-minus 1 hour!!!!

    Man, can't believe it is finally here. I have been watching pregame since 9am. :D

    Still worried about the O-line this year. Today is their first real test. I think they will give Brady the time he needs to complete passes. Also have Ridley as my fantasy RB today since Mojo isn't slated to get many carries.

    Let's get it on!!!!

    The line is holding much better than I anticipated. Ridley looks real strong and I'm glad I started him in my fantasy league. Lloyd looks like Randy Moss a bit. Enjoying this game so far.

    Nice start to the season, it would have nice to watch the game but I had to settle for the Phins of Miami.

    Got lucky with it out here in Los Angeles.

    Pats looking good to start.

    Jones and Hightower combining for a strip sack touchdown ... nice start, but, it was against a rookie QB. Holding Johnson to a career low 4 yards rushing has to mean something, though ... right?

    Little known fact, the Pats have been in the top 10 or so in rushing 4 of the past 5 years and the top 5 in rushing TDs all those years. No one would know because they split it up between 3 backs.

    If Ridley is indeed the main guy, he could be a top 10 back easily. I was happy to see him catching passes and targeted a few other times as I got him late in 2 PPR leagues. Just has to avoid the fumbling.

    Arizona next week at home shouldn't be too tough. That said, hope they don't look past it with a huge game in Baltimore coming in 2 weeks, that will be the early test of how good this team really is.

    Yes that Bmore game will be tough...my second most liked team in the NFL.

    Yup that's what I meant I never noticed Jim's signiture before must be my new contacts. :D Jim and Mo Vaughn hit two of the MOST majestic homeruns I've ever seen in person...Jim's at Fenway and Mo's at Memorial Stadium in Bmore. oh that one was Mo's very first homerun he literally missed hitting out of the park by 5 rows.

    Hilariously brutal ending. I'm still laughing.
