A lot of injuries early in this season.

No kidding. Three weeks in and my office fantasy team is starting to look like the remnants of Pickett's division. Roethlisberger is just the latest among my casualties.

Well, even with all the preseason hype about a Super Bowl run, I had my Cowboys pegged at 8-8.

So much for dreaming ...

Patriots vs Jaguars. 51 - 17

I mean, come on. With a score like that what else is there to say? The Jaguars were annihilated by the Patriots on both offense and defense.

Our secondary have improved since last week; we were able to defend more against the deep passes, though some still did get through. Overall I think our defense played a really good game, and Devin McCourty's pick was fantastic (so was Malcolm Butler's almost interception).

Offensively...unbelievable. Every single drive bar one resulted in points on the board. The only drive that didn't? Our last one, when the game was over and all we did was take a knee twice to end the game. That, plus Tom Brady's 400th career touchdown made this an awesome game to watch as a Patriots fan.

I also want to point out that Tom Brady has currently thrown for 1,112 yards, with 9 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions in 3 games.

What I loved about that game was that there was just enough for Belichick to harp on before the next one, like:

The long TD they gave up
Whoever will be the #2 CB
Actually leaving points on the board with FGs instead of TDs

That game could've easily been 60-something to 3 or 10.  Just crazy.

I have a feeling that the Patriots could win a game 100 - 0 and Belichick would still lecture the team on how they could improve. That's just his coaching strategy, and it seems to be working just fine.

Cheating also appears to be his strategy.

It's the strategy of the NFL at large: http://yourteamcheats.com/

Of course, the NFL organization itself takes first prize with its "independent" investigations.

FWIW, the Jaguars get annihilated by practically *everyone* on offense and defense.

How many years have they been at or near the bottom of the league in every statistical category? They're a worse joke than the Browns (no offense intended to any Browns fans out there, you know how bad they are).

True, but in 2014 the Jaguars lost by an average of 14.62 points per losing game. Their worst defeat that season was against the Redskins in week 2, where they were 31 points behind.

So I think the 34 point deficit the Patriots left them in is something to be proud of. :-)

So you beat up the guy in the wheelchair. Yay?



P.S. Losing by an average of nearly 15 points means only one thing: That team is very, very bad. Words alone can't describe how bad.

Throwing a pick at the 1-yard line and losing the Super Bowl bad?

I can keep coming up with these, no problem. Hehe.
