No need to lose hope right now. Stay optimistic.
Lose hope? I think that the Pats D looks very vulnerable. If we can keep this game close, we're going to make some big plays against them...
-
Fine. I guess it won't be a shut out.
Now, lets take it down and score and go in to half time with the lead.
-
What happened to the pass rush?
-
What?! Poz to the locker room?
-
It's all pass on 1st down. Why would we be respecting that PA?
-
The usual wasted TO. I was wondering where that was.
-
god i wish we could have these uniforms all the time!
Me too. Any uniform but the ones we have now. My personal favorite is the 1980's era unis.

TO's not gonna be happy if he doesn't get the ball in the 1st quarter
TO will be quiet as long as we are winning.

Roscoe- go forward!

ST's not looking so special.
Fire April!
(Just kidding)

How's that for the first TD of the season?
-
0-0 is about 21 points better than I thought we'd be doing by now.Trent looks like he's in command and our rookie blockers are doing a good job.
if not for some stupid penalties we might have been able to miss a field goal by now.
-
Where's the challenge?
-
Dammit.
-
Let's get some first downs now.
-
Too easy.
-
Why is Stroud not playing on 3-2? He is in half the plays.
-
Yes. We need 5 man rush on 0 back offense.
-
nice coverage
-
Holding.

I can just hear Belichik now..."Holy sh--! We didn't game-plan for Stupar! What the !@#$ are we going to do now? We're so !@#$ed!"
Either that or he's having a beer and relaxing now that he doesn't have Jenkins to deal with.

I don't bother criticizing a coach's style, only his results. Just as Marv Levy said when he hired Jauron, you can win with all types of personalities. You can with with a Cowher or a Dungy; Lombardi or Landry. That being said, Jauron simply hasn't won. That's the problem.

Collinsworth is terrific. He knows as much about the game as any color guy I've ever heard, and he consistently points out the little things that most of us don't know or haven't paid attention to. Let me give two specific examples from last night's game:
1) The play in which a Steelers DB hit Justin Gage in the end zone after he dropped the ball. All 3 of us watching the game immediately cried for a Personal Foul Penalty for hitting a defenseless receiver. Almost simultaneously, Collinsworth chimed in (unsolicited) that such a rule applies only to blows to the head.
2) The Pittsburgh false start penalty at the end of the first half. Again, our household immediately wondered why no 10-second runoff or use of a timeout was implemented, when Collinsworth again informed the viewers that because the penalty did not stop the clock, such an enforcement was not required.
I realize that sometimes he can be a bit over the top with his adulation/criticism, but as far as informing viewers of the nuances of the game, he's top notch.
Except that this is false. The rule applies to any hits to defenseless receivers not just blows to the head. The rule, as explained by Jerry Markbreit (former NFL official) is as follows:
"All players in virtually defenseless postures are protected from unnecessary hits by the defense, which include helmet-to-helmet contact, helmet-to-body contact, and blows to the head. Intended receivers of forward passes who fail to catch the pass are considered to be in a defenseless position immediately after the pass is missed. If the pass is caught, all of these restrictions are off, unless in the opinion of the covering official, something unsportsmanlike occurs."
