This Just In: The Patriots look damned sloppy

[WilliamPitt]

Losing 17-7 after a whole constellation of flags, mental mistakes and blown coverages.

These fellas better tighten it up in the second half.

1. Give the Panthers some credit, too.

They've made some pretty amazing plays. 9 times out of 10 that blitz gets to Delhomme before he can get rid of the ball to Proehl.

17. haha...

try being a packer fan.

[Callalily]

18. Yes, being a Packers

fan this season is going to be quite a burden, quite the challenge.

And . . . Welcome to DU IvotedforKodos!

2. Eagles look good though :) n/t

[jjmalonejr]

4. Yes they do

Although, it helps to have a crappy team to steamroll over. :)

No offense, though. I've got Philly to win in my pool this week, so I'm rooting for them.

5. I'm just glad to see them rebound so well

after the Falcons loss. I knew they would win, but 28-0 at half is good for the confidence!

[jjmalonejr]

6. Well, the Falcons are a damn good team.

I suspect the Eagles and the Falcons will be duking it out for the NFC championship this year.

14. You're right.

Also, I'm of course an Eagles fan, but I think we made an extremely impressive showing given how good Atlanta is and because McNabb was injured throughout nearly the entire game and we were missing one of our star linebackers. Only thing I can really fault the Eagles for is Akers being so off (wtf was up with that? he never misses!). Had Akers made his two FGs, we would have won even without Trotter and with McNabb injured.

Atlanta looks good though as does Carolina - they'll both make the playoffs this year I'm sure.

3. Yuck

What's with all the penalties!?!?

[jjmalonejr]

7. Ok, Vrabel!

Now we're talkin'!

[Autonomy]

8. Eagles are going to crush your Patsies this year!

E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES! (yes, we can speel gewd in Philly)

[friesianrider]

13. I hope so Autonomy!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for our Iggles! They are hard workers, good players and deserve it.

[Infomaniac]

9. Started to look better - down by 3.

Every time I leave the room the Pats score. I have not seen the Pats score one point this game. I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing.

[KyndCulture]

10. Could be worse Will...

You could be a Vikings fan today... omg.

[Arkana]

11. Now I can't watch ESPN for a week

because Chris Berman and the SC guys are going to "wonder" what's "wrong" with the Patriots while they worship Peyton Manning and Jake Delhomme.

[WilliamPitt]

12. All I know

is that if that Pats team shows up in Pittsburg next week, they're going to get destroyed.

[dad]

16. I liked watching Brady throw his temper tantrums

Patriots got their asses beaten in more ways than one.
Between Brady & Schilling, you've got quite a strong Republican representation amongst your sport team players, dontcha?

[enigami]

15. He He He

I hope there is something left for the Chiefs to stomp on in November.
