Dante Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Any qb would look good with that kinda time. Damn thats the difference between pretenders and SB winners. I couldnt help but put the Bills in the Pats place vs the Raiders last night and played it out in my mind how they would fare. If it were the Bills the game would be a squeaker. The Pats, afer the first half made the necessary D adjustments and controled the game the rest of the way. Our D matches up with the Pats. Our recievers and RB's are probably better. The only difference is I dont see Losman getting that kind of time to site see back there like Brady does. Losman would probably make a couple rookie mistakes and panic a bit leading to Raider points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I wouldn't mind having their O-line either as long as it came with last night's refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only watching because I have Brady in a fantasy pool. Wasnt actually watching what the OLine was doing. I only know that Brady could plan and book his xmas vacation back there.

You weren't the only one who wasn't watching the O-line. The guys in the Foot Locker shirts and the fat dude up in the booth, they were too enthralled with Goatboy to notice the O-line either!

RVJ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Im telling ya its the coach. Three players could go down and they would look the same. He would probably put three DT in the postion and Dillon would run for 200 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hard to judge the Pats' O-line overall based on last night. The Raiders have a PATHETIC pass rush (their leading sacker last year had 4 whole sacks, and they added no one), and they were using a 3-man line most of the night with little blitzing. But that being said, the Pats didn't move the ball up and down on the Raiders, which makes me think they're not as good offensively. Good. I think they'll have trouble with teams with good defenses, especially away from the confines of The Pad (formerly the Razor, now that P&G bought out Gillette).

Against the Raiders defense last night, Bledsoe could be standing in the pocket cooking burgers. Did you notice how the Pat's production went down a bit once the Raiders realized that eight guys back won't work if they bite on everthing? The receiver would move inside, the tight end would move outside, and no one...no one...would pay attention to the TE....and Brady moves the chains again. Don't be impressed by the Patriot's OL. Be disgusted by the Raiders' D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 When I saw that former UDFA Grant Irons was starting for the Raiders, I was happy for him...but realized how bad the Raiders' defense was (going to be). The ineptitude on defense was not as bad as that on the offense. With Moss having an 8" height advantage over Tyrone Poole, they should have been tossing the ball up for grabs to Moss all night.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 They weren't? Not in the "wait for Randy to stop and throw it at him" kind of way. They also should have put him in motion, maybe moving him to the slot. But hey, Norv wants his long ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of that and less bombs away, and maybe a decent Janikowski field goal, and they were in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really something to watch, wasn't it? Why, if the Raiders weren't called for all those phantom penalties, they would have never won the game. Oh, wait. Wrong team.
