Vick like Randy Moss were TNB clowns who destroyed the chances their first teams had at winning a SB. Reason being they took up too much of the cap space and too much of the locker room ego for their worth. I think a QB like Vick could QB a team to a winning SB but not as the feature player. As for Moss that idiot all but ruined the Vikes (I applauded) with his TNB. Since we have two trolls peddling the anti-white nonsense that masquerades as something called "anti-racism" I will in a bit of fairness criticize Brady and Rogers for being cap killers, but at least they play the QB position to a very, very high degree of proficiency. (Brady needs a power run game, but thanks to the luckiest coach ever who panders to his highness Tom they are still playing the game like Tom is at his peak)

Since I'm on my highhorse and second cup of coffee let me continue. The Patriots and its brain trust, including Brady are fools living in the past. An aging QB needs a power run game as their athletic skills deteriorate (and all athletic skills deteriorate), so the Pats should have kept Woodhead & Welker and then found a 4 down FB (yes I have created a new term). FTR this is how McCarthy revived Favre's career, otherwise by 2007 Favre would have been mowing the grass (probably should have).

it seems Shanahan did the same thing with Elway and Terrelle Davis, stronger running game as he got older.

Stuck with Jets Ravens here in the UK, not many bright spots in this game minus Flacco. Can't believe Geno is still playing!! Managed to find a scratchy stream of Packers Vikings to sort of watch lol

My TV games are Jets v. Ravens (total of 7 white starters out of 44) and Panthers v. Dolphins (total of 9 white starters out of 44). So - heading to the mall for some early Christmas shopping ...Pats, Packers and Eagles are the only teams worth watching this year (and maybe San Diego when they start Woodhead).

What do people think about tonights big game? Reckon Patriots will beat the Broncos? Looks like Spikes is questionable so could see Fletcher starting on defense. If Gregory is fit to play could have Ninkovich, Fletcher, Jones, Vellano and Gregory all starting. I think my pats will do it, key is keeping Welker quiet and getting pressure on Manning but he get's the ball out so quick!

Tannehill looking good throwing the ball downfield. Hopefully he targets Hartline more.

Woodhead with a whopping two touches so far. I guess they will wait until they are further behind before getting him involved.

Yea im hoping pats win but worried about Welker Decker and (hate to say it )Thomas who has looked good. Arrington sucks so if he starts as an outside corner were screwed. Also Hightower is a massive liability in coverage but Denver's linebackers are terrible too so hopefully be an offensive shootout! Amendola to score the game winner as time runs out 34 -31 Pats!

Chargers with a 3rd and 16 and had Ronnie Brown in the backfield?! Woodhead has converted so many 3rd and long opportunities in his career, but not from the sidelines.

the Vikings held Peterson out of practice all week until Friday due to a groin injury. he's played well today, but Gerhart (who was expected to be strongly featured) has just a single touch so far. jeez.

Peterson slowed with a groin injury, look for Gerhart to get more action...ha ha ha. Peterson 9 carries, Gerhart 0.

Yea I was one of them hopeful ones thinking Gerhart would get more touches.

Tannehill needs to run more.

high scoring, gunslinging affair would be the best case scenario, providing Welker and Decker are beneficiaries on Broncos! (not too worried about Patriots as their white receivers are pretty much the only weapon Brady has).

goddamn it, Chargers, give the ball to Woodhead!

Nice half for Geno Smiff, 2/7 for 21 yards. Kurt Warner was clowning Smiff on NFL Network, said he can't even read the free safety, which is high school football.

Brother you got that right!! He could already have a bunch of rushing yards, but he would clearly rather throw it. Hes looking damn good though, and his touch passes are as good as Ive seen. He can float one in there like Montana use to.

TD Woodhead! They finally utilized him for the 2 min offense and he produced 4 carries and TD reception.
