Yeah, they did. Looks like Ray Lewis was the glue holding that Defense together, even at 36 years of age. What are they going to do when he ultimately hangs up the cleats at the end of the year like many presume he will?
Really good Jets-Pats game. Jets may win this one. Hold my breath...
Brady is just too damn good.

Yep, you give him time and an extra possession he will burn you almost every time. Big LOL at the Jets, they had it and just couldn't close the door.
Their offense is very efficient and VERY fast. It's a well-oiled machine. It seems part of their strategy is just keeping the opposing defense in disarray the whole time and just fucking run a two-minute drill the whole damn time they have the ball.
Well, actually the score is really misleading. Our offense just collapsed and there really wasn't much the defense could do. First series we run the ball with rice 4 times and march down the field. Our defense goes back out and records a 2nd 3 and out. Than boom! Cam Cameron decides we're going to start to start passing the ball on every down. Flacco gets sacked for a safety. The entire first half our defense continued to go out and play pretty well against Houston but Cam's idiotic play calling got us killed.
Look, I know the blame does have to be put on the players (Flacco had no o-line and the receivers weren't giving him much, but he missed badly sometimes), but if you're a playcaller and you see that something is not working you stop doing it. Cam has this idea that Flacco will be elite no matter what and that makes us lose games.
The defense was not perfect, but the linebackers did a pretty good job. It was really the corners that got burned. Tomorrow when I'm driving in my car I'm just going to laugh at everybody saying how much Cameron sucks because I've been saying it for the past 4 years.
He is, but he does have one hell of a receiving core... If Brandon Weeden had Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz he'd be turning a lot of heads (same goes for other talented qb's with no talent what so ever). The thing that does separate Manning is just how clutch he is.
Except when it comes to the Giants for some strange reason.

Brandon Weeden couldn't turn heads with a wrench.
C'mon son...
I mean, accept for week 1 he's been pretty good. He's one of the guys you just can't look at his stats because he has absolutely no receivers and half the time they drop his passes. He could have easily destroyed the ravens a few weeks ago. I am by no means a browns/weeden fan but with cruz and knicks that would be an extremely scary team.
But, maybe a better example would be a guy like Sam Bradford. He has all the talent to be a top 5 qb, but the problem is he has no help at all. If Bradford had cruz and knicks to throw to he would easily be talked about as a great, young qb. Not just some guy you forget even plays until you see 30 second highlights on espn.
I guess with that being said, good receivers really dictate whether or not a quarterback is top 10 or not. I remember before the season we made all those lists and guys like Stafford and Schaub were in the bottom half of a lot of those lists. Think about the common factor: two hall of fame receivers to throw to. So, to be considered great you have to have some good targets. To be considered elite you need to be clutch and have ice flowing through your veins and that's Eli. Does Eli have some great help, yes, but he is pretty elite.
Well, there's that one guy in Green Bay that seems to be doing well, again.
