Picture Pefect

I wanted to take a day to digest the Patriots 38-35 win against the Giants this past Saturday, that gave them a perfect regular season, 16-0.

My thoughts on the Patriots, in bullet points to save me from having to use proper punctuation.

• The Patriots offense is pretty much unstoppable. You can't cover them, it's impossible. Double Moss and Welker is wide open. Double both of them, and then Stallworth is wide open. Plus Daniel Graham is a underrated receiving TE, and RB Kevin Faulk is an ideal back out of the backfield in this offense.



• Of course Tom Brady, arguably the best QB of all time. Football is a game of tradition, and it's hard for the old school purists to even think of having one of the games best to play within the past 10 years, let alone now. But lets face it, love or hate the Pats, you need to appreciate that you get the chance to watch this guy play.



• They get all the breaks. Just like when a pitcher throws a no-hitter, there are always a few plays that it just looks like it was meant to be, and any other day they wouldn't have been made. Whether it's Brady completing 3rd and long passes while being hit and falling back, to shoe string tackles, barely tripping up an opposing runner about to break free for 6, it seems meant to be.



• In all sports, your reputation precedes you. In the case of the Pats, it's their offensive line, and they seem to get the benefit of the doubt most of the time. Yes, I'm a Giant fan and I wanted this game as bad as the actual Giants team did, and I might be sounding bitter, but when you never have holding called on you it's easy to be the best offensive line in football. They get away with murder. The countless text messages from Jet, Dolphin, and Bill fans I received through the game confirms my thoughts.



• The Patriot defense can be beat. They are smart, but old and slow. They can be beat deep, and up the middle. But let's face it, when your offense puts up 35, you only need to stop the opponent from scoring 34, which isn't the biggest task around.

As always, when I mention those hallowed words, Tom Brady, we get a picture of Gisele Bundchen, (today we get two). She's just another reason to either hate or love Tom Brady. Regardless, you need to admire the bastard.
