Patriots Lost
Today was a tragic day for New England sports. The Patriots are showing how lost they truly are without Brady. Remember when people were talking about how Matt Cassel might permanently replace Brady (astonishing I know)? Well, after Sunday’s performance that talk has disappeared. Cassel threw two picks and ZERO touchdowns. A week after his second consecutive four hundred yard passing game he goes out and gets around a 40 passer rating. He had a completion percentage under 50 percent. That is terrible. The Pats gave up 30 unanswered points. After being up 10-3 in the second quarter, they went into half time at 10-10 (I made a mistake on yesterdays blog about the halftime score). The Steelers then scored 23 points to the Patriots’ zero in the second half. That is one way to guarantee you won’t be playing in the playoffs. Gosh. The Hoody needs to get his act together and get the Patriots back on track. I was going to try to also talk about the Warriors tonight, but I am just too disappointed in them lately to even try. Does Don Nelson even want to win anymore? I love the Warriors, trust me, I am a big fan, but I am getting annoyed by what management is doing. They should not have punished Monta Ellis so harshly, he was already out with the leg injury, so why punish him for it? That will just weaken morale. Also, Marco Bellinelli should NEVER be starting a game, which is what happened on Saturday (they got blown out by the New York Knicks). There is plenty of talent on the Warrior roster, they just need to utilize it more. I say use Brandon Wright and Anthony Randolph more, have Stephen Jackson shoot less, and try to run an offense. Less three point attempts and more patience would perhaps result in more production. More defense would help too. Oh well, I told myself I wouldn’t talk about the Warriors but I did.
