Why take the most successful passing offense in the league, year in and year out, and change it to a feeble running attack based offense? Brady has 38 yards passing so far and has been sacked multiple times and has thrown a pick.

I think its because Bellicheck believs he is the is the greatest coach ever and can win any way he wants with any group of players. He wants to play schemes that aren't popular in the NFL. They were the first to run the 4 and 5 wide sets for the majority of the game with a slot receiver heavily involved, now they have a bunch of copycats, although none have reached the level of success of the Patriots, and it looks like the Patriots are going less spread type offense and more power running with Stevan Ridley, if only Heath Evans were around for this decision, he was a much better runner than Ridley. The Patriots had a nice 3-4 scheme with a decent amount of White players, then the 3-4 became very popular among NFL teams, he went blacker and switched to more of a 4-3. I could see switching if you are having trouble finding the talent to run the offense, but this isn't the case. They have Welker who is still in his prime, and if something were ot happen he would have Edelman, or Woodhead who could move to the slot if needed. If he is going run heavy at least split carries bw Ridley and Woodhead. No matter what there can only be so many White players allowed to start. If Bellicheck truly had balls hed have majority Whites on both offense and defense.

According to the boxscores at ESPN.com, a "historic event" occurred in the Giants/Bucs blackfest at the formerly known Meadowlands today:

Fullback Henry Hynoski had his first rushing attempt of his career (in his 13 start) and gained 3 yards....I wonder how soon it will be before he gets another rushing attempt? 3 years? Never?

Quick update from K.C: Charles started the 2nd half at tailback and here is his current line: 5 rushes for 3 yards.

Over the past decade, the Giants’ offensive skills players have been among the darkest in the NFL. Aside from various underutilized white TE’s (Jeremy Shockey, Kevin Boss, Bear Pascoe, Dan Campbell, Sean Berton), and white human-battering-ram fullbacks (Henry Hynoski, Jim Finn, Greg Comella), the Giants haven’t had any real white skill players since WR Joe Jurevicius and RB Sean Bennett. Joe had a nice career in NY (under Jim Fassel) and Sean Bennett received a cheap shot to the knee from Wigger Teddy Bruschi and was never the same...

Kevin Walter was drafted by the Giants in the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] round about 9 years ago, but was promptly released.

Another huge game by JJ Watt -- playing end in a 3-4 defense he's a total beast

"Does he have some hands on him? Yes, but that's just good football!" The commentator says as Rhodes actually drags on Gronkowski.

Mr. Clutch Adam Vinatieri kicks a 53 yarder with 8 seconds left, looks like Indy will beat Minnesota. Rookie Luck beats second year QB Ponder, both played well.

I think Josh Mcwigger is to blame. He brought in his black pet at WR and prefers blacks at RB due to his shipping Hillis out of Denver.

30 yard TD run by Woodhead to win the game is wiped out by a dubious holding call.

Welker close to 100 yards

Phantom holding against New England on Woodhead's great run, no pass interference against the Cardinals for the 2 point conversion attempt, yep these replacement refs are earning their keep. You can bet they are here to stay.

Haha... Belichick is definitely brilliant. First freaking down and he starts wasting his downs to kill time so that he can put all his eggs on a chance 42 yard kick. Idiot. They should have won anyway as Woodhead won the game, but the replacement referees weren't having that.

The replacement refs just lost their jobs, if the Pats had made that FG everything would have been forgotten but instead everyone is going to remember that phantom holding call.

Why is every NFL coach totally devoid of strong strategic sense and good decision making skills?

That could be an excellent wakeup call for the Pats. Start playing Woodhead and throwing to your best players and stop the baloney.

The NFL is blatantly engineering artificial results with their scrub referees that have no qualms at all about making egregious mistakes and calling imaginary penalties if it hurts a white player or benefits some black QB. At this point the NFL is totally unwatchable and I don't know how much more I can withstand. How many of their penalties or, non-calls have hurt white players and how many have benefited Scam and Robert Gremlin the Turd? I'd like a tally on that.
