Hester seems appropriately humble about his two carries and one fumble.

Good matchups and an early lead, whats not to like?

Tomlinson on the Bolts woeful running game. Also Waters played some against NE, did anyone notice how he did? It looks good for Jyles Tucker and Chambers coming back against Buffalo.

Michael Silver harshes New England's mellow. He also talks about Rivers.

Speaking of whom, check out this; Rivers #1, Brees #2 (Cutler 10, Eli 13, I'm just sayin').

A New England report card you would be hiding from mom; Denver gets them next. You know that first drive they had of the second half was good; but I shudder to think what Brandon Marshall is going to make of D. O'Neal.

Norv getting props for his coaching.

Anyone else take a bit of joy in watching the Browns picking off Eli? No, me either...

Romo broke his mojo.

I like having a little fun with 'the Hochuli', but Joey Porter is just making stuff up.

Today is the trading deadline, there don't seem to be any Charger rumors.

Pro Bowl balloting is up. Rivers and Jammer are on the ballot; vote early and often.

Prediction.

Pats start QB Kevin O’connell from Carlsbad, CA (SDSU)

Smokes the Donkies at their own place in his first NFL start on MNF. SWEET.

For the record, this is not my attempt to imply subtly that Belichick is nothing without cheating and Tom Brady. Seriously. I am straight-out saying: Belichick is nothing without cheating and Tom Brady ~ DJ Gallo

Wow

That Rivers over Brees thing just goes to show you what a worthless stat QB rating is.

Rivers is also ahead of Brees in DVOA (they’re 1 & 2 there).

He also leads Brees in DYAR/Att, Yards/Att and EYds/Att and actually leads the entire league in the first two.

Okay, okay

But it’s obvious that Brees is providing more value to his team because he has more plays. Rivers is just providing more value per play, but is involved in less plays.

Not to mention that none of the receivers Brees throws to will ever get a whiff at the pro bowl (except Bush).

Sure and counting stats will show that, but QB Rating isn’t a counting stat.

Being on a shitty team

does not increase your value. Im SOOOO glad we have rivers and not brees.

We're gonna dazzle you with our super play.

Oh me too

I’m sure having a top 5 QB instead of Rivers the last couple of years wouldn’t have increased our chances of a Super Bowl at all.

you saying Rivers isnt top 5?

certainly plays like it. even though he looks like he’s seizuring (yep made that word up) the ball every time he passes.

This year he is

Brees has been far superior before that. Do you honestly believe that Rivers, in his first year as a starting QB, was superior to Brees? I believe that if in 2006 we had Brees we would have had a better shot at a Super Bowl. We had enough talent to go 14-2. Just imagine if we had a better QB.

i agree

i totally agree. just saying this year. rivers has progressed far faster than i thought he would.

UConn played against him in his last regular season college game and pooped all over him. i thought he was an average NC State frat brat douche at best.

i’ve been quite pleased with him this year.

but yeah, brees in 06 wuold have been a ring most likely

I didn't get to see the whole game....

But I did notice Waters and thought he looked real good.

I’m not sure if he made any tackles, but he seemed to be consistently around the ball and looked both strong and fast. I actually mistook him for Dobbins a couple of times.
