It's pretty easy to guess the one word sum up of how I feel thus far about the football season. That sum up starts and ends with the letter D. Coming into the season I had decent hopes. I didn't really hope for a National Championship from the Wolverines however the last thing I expected was ineptitude. Within two weeks it's evident that the Wolverines defense is horrendous. That the spread offense is effectively a plague which they have no cure. That losing multiple top draft picks on defense apparently was a huge deal. And that Chad Henne might have quarterbacked the most choke games in college football history. No bowl wins, no Buckeye wins and a loss to Appalachian St. That's an impressive resume for a 4 year starter. If they lose to ND this weekend, I might be on football suicide watch.
As for the Jets I knew the Patriots were going to be the team to beat. I knew the Jets had a much more difficult schedule this season. But I did not expect to watch the game today and think that the Jets were effectively helpless. Tom Brady sat in the pocket every single pass play for as long as he wanted. He never never got touched. Randy Moss torched the Jets cornerback on just about every single play, which shouldn't be surprising considering he was lining up against Justin Miller. Why was Justin Miller covering Randy Moss? He's a nickel back / kickoff returner / woman puncher. The Jets defense could do absolutely nothing the entire game. It was pathetic. And to top it off Pennington gets his ankle rolled over and the pathetic fan base for which I am associated with cheers because Clemens is on the field. You guys absolutely suck, dude is hobbling off the field, was playing really well and he's gutted out everything for the team during his career and you are glad Clemens runs on the field. You all are assholes. Last year I thought Jets fans were piss poor when I went to the Bills game and they showed it today. They even won Olbermann's worst person in the world award during half time.
So in the span of 3 games it is evident that Tom Brady's Patriots are light years ahead of the Jets. And that the Wolverines suck. Great.
Oh and that one word sum up. It's Depressed.

Perras, I don't think that will happen, especially if Moss keeps getting 100+ yard games and puts points on the board. Did you see that 65 yard bomb Brady threw where Moss outran 3 Jets? I have high hopes. Not only did Moss blast past the defense, Brady's throw was about 55 yards in the air and accurate.
I still stand by the fact that I believe Moss will be more important to the pats as a decoy that will need double coverage and will open up the middle of the field for guys like wes welker and co. I've said in the past that they would come out, show Moss to be a huge deep threat, and that will open to my theory. The problem will arise when they play the middle field and moss wants more actions. Don't forget, we have him for a year. He wants to get all the balls and lead the NFL, which in turn will allow for more money next year. It is in his best intentions to do well and stick out as a great player. If he does what I'm suggesting, he may not stick out as a leading receiver in 07.
I still hopes he does well and fits the mold, I just don't want to be blindsided if he implodes.
