Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted December 22, 2004 You will not see a team come back that quickly as the Dolphins did against the Patriots. In the final two quarters of the game, the Patriots were horrible. I'll admit, the Dolphins played one hell of a game last night. I will give them my props. I do not hope this happens again. This was a dismal performance from the Pats both on offense and defense. It was ultimately a bad game for Brady and the Pats. The Pats were defeated 29-28 by the Dolphins. Tom Brady played absolutely horrible. He threw 3 touchdowns, but with 4 interceptions. I have not seem him play that badly since his first year which was 2001. He threw just 18 of 29 for 171 yards. Don't tell me that was good. He has had bad games like this before but this was a shocker most didn't see coming. I hope he doesn't have another breakdown like this. Hopefully, he will be ready for the Jets Sunday. That game he must win. Corey Dillon, he was the only good player on the offense last night against Miami. He rushed 26 times for 126 yards. He scored one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown. He was the best player in my mind last night. He never fumbled or screwed up like the rest of his team. He deserved to get Horse Player of the game but I guess he didn't. He will have a big game, in my mind, against the New York Jets. The defense was, in my mind, possibly the worst I have seen them so far. They couldn't stop the Dolphins in the 3rd and 4th quarters. They didn't pick off anybody. Though they did sack AJ Feeley once. Not one single player on the defense can say they didn't try hard cause they did. They just didn't have the right stuff last night. Unless you count them against the Steelers. It just wasn't their game. We have had many times in which we lost dreadfully. I just don't want something like last night's game to happen to my Patriots. I hope they beat the Jets. That will get them their groove back. I speak for many Pats who would say it was just a horrible game for us. I hope this doesn't happen in the next two games. So I say, good luck to them in their next two and the Playoffs. ?? man, reallly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARTYEWR 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 I don't think the Owens injury changes the NFC picture much at all, to be honest. The Eagles are undefeated against the NFC, at 11-0. Their point differential is +167. The next best is Green Bay at a paltry +24. The Eagles still have the lowest points allowed of any team in the NFL, and losing Owens does nothing to change that. I really think this team is so good, and the rest of the NFC so mediocre, that they should coast into the Super Bowel. Yes, facing New England or Pittsburgh might be a problem then, but no one really watches the Super Bowel for the football anyway. I don't know if NO ONE in the NFC could challenge the Eagles. I think the Falcons can, because they possess the necessary qualities it takes to win in the NFL: a strong running game (if and when TJ Duckett returns) and a great defense. The Falcons have more weaknesses than the Eagles, especially at quarterback (I think McNabb is more refined and has more fundamentals at the position than Vick), but the Falcons could give the Eagles a challenge for those reasons. And what's up with YOU talking about football??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted December 23, 2004 The NFC is so sucky that the Eagles still have a shot at winning it, but TO should think TWICE about trying to play in seven weeks. Your health isn;t worth losing over pride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted December 23, 2004 He could ruin his career though. Breaking your leg and then trying to use it to make sharp cuts at high speeds isn't the greatest thing to do. Seven weeks is way to soon to come back.

Breaking your leg and then trying to use it to make sharp cuts at high speeds isn't the greatest thing to do. Seven weeks is way to soon to come back. Agreed. And it's not like he'll never have another shot, as the Eagles are well-managed enough to make runs for the next couple of years as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 I'm really also afraid of a Chris Webber situation where he can't keep up but comes back anyways and throws off the team b/c nobody knows their roll b/c they don't know what TO is doing and if he can even do it!

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 If they make it, I'd keep him out of the game if I were Philly, I don't think any good can come of it. Even if he's an incredibly fast healer he's still going to be weak in that area and rusty overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
