Pats aren't used to playing a football game instead of running away in a shoot out.

7 minutes us, 7:57 them according to the game book.

He's New England's "Director of Football Research", whatever that means. Nobody on the Patriots team knows what he does, at least that's what they say. However, it's come out that he's in charge of scouting opponent's tendencies and deciphering their signals and play calls. On game day he sits in a booth, wearing a headset that's linked directly to Belichick's and nobody else.

We'd better have a game plan against the Pats' blitz schemes. Last time, Tyrod had about three seconds becfore the pocket closed around him like a fist. He had no place to scramble to, no place to step up, and no clear throwing lanes. That sort of scheme works even if Tyrod isn't sacked. Kromer's got to find a way to redirect the pass rush away from the play side, or at least get the rushers out of their lanes so Tyrod's got a crease or two. Dante Scarnecchia was always great at doing that for Brady and I still hate him for it.

Rex's presser is classic. He goes back and forth with the NYC sports writers and they roast each other.

Rambo's a one man army. You can go home now Rambo. It's over.

24-14 Buffalo. Rex wrote the book on how to snuff out Chan's screen and short passing game, and Ivory's in a slump. Mangold coming back is a worry. Hopefully Dareus will be used to test him early on and see if he's his usual self, and adjustments made.

All the lawsuit tells me is that FD/Draft Kings didn't juice in the right people in Albany. Pay to play fellas.

Random English guy pokes fun at random American. It's par for the course in the UK, Woodsy handled it well.

Looks like he rolled his ankle.

Giving the defence half a field to stop Andy Dalton...4 times can't be the game plan.

Kouandjio's in.

Review crap. Just import NCAA catch rules.

28-17 Cincy.

I'd feel better if I didn't think this was right on.

They're fools if they don't start playing games in Germany and Poland.

...and it's a shame there are so many Jets fans in London.

Bubble screen to Harvin for five.

Good to Brandon Jacobs suiting up for us.

It looks like Tyrod was caught in two minds. It's too high for Sammy, and there's not enough air under it for Woods. It's a shame because if he'd aired it out, Woods was wide open, and Sammy would have caught a better pass.

Could Crossman at least try to deceive the Pats on that one...

It should now be a 1 possession game.

Wow. That's a Pats play ain't it.

Patriots spread, patriots sneak, 1st down anybody?

I'm trying to listen in the 518. That may be it.
