I agree. Yes he made a mistake, but he was trying to help his team win. Players make poor decisions all the time

The mistake started with the coach not telling him no matter what to take a knee.  In that situation, he should have knelt down.  Not given them the opportunity to strip the ball and take a shot at the win.  He takes a knee, they have the ball at the 20 and can run three plays to run the clock down and punt at worst.  Instead the Pats got the ball in striking distance...and struck.

f. Shawne Merriman is tied for 218th in the NFL in tackles after two games with six. And zero sacks. Dude, there's going to be an APB out on you soon. I mean, Antwan Odom is leading you in sacks right now -- by seven.

The combo of Zorn and Campbell just isn't working in Washington.  Even Troy Aikman said he has no clue what Zorn is trying to do on offense.  Even with them playing like crap they couldn't lose to the Lambs.

Per a league source, Williamson is expected to miss the rest of the season with an arm injury.  Initially, Williamson was described as probable to return to Sunday's home loss to the Cardinals, despite being in obvious pain.

If the NFL owners are bluffing regarding their intention to lock out the players come 2011, the NFL owners are doing a great job of it.

According to Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal, some teams are asking high-level employees to take pay cuts of up to 50 percent -- or to agree to termination on short notice -- during the first year that might entail the first weekends without pro football since 1987.

Larry Kennan, Director of the NFL Coaches Association, tells Mullen that the coaches aren't thrilled about being caught in the middle of the dispute between owners and players.

Zorn made one of the worst coaching decision I think I've seen this year yesterday.

Up 2 points late, on 4th and one inside the 10, he went for it and they got stuffed.



WTF? A FG gives you a 5 point lead and forces the Rams to score a last second TD to beat you. Instead you give them the chance to win with a FG?

Stupid.

We're only going to score 17 points? OK. Is Plax playing defense?
-- Tom Brady, January 2008, laughing at Plaxico Burress' prediction of a 23-17 New York Giants victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.


Since laughing at Plaxico Burress, Tom Brady has played three full NFL games and won one. He has seen the Giants hold his Patriots to 14 points, three below Burress' prediction, and watched David Tyree make a preposterous catch to set up Burress's game-winner. In last season's opener, he tore up his knee and was lost for the year.
He has had a miserable 21 months (except, you know, for that day when he married a supermodel.)
Worse, last week the Patriots lost the kind of game they always win. It was in New York, where they always win, against the Jets, who never win, and after first-year Jets coach Rex Ryan and safety Kerry Rhodes both mouthed off before the game. Normally when people publicly question the Patriots, they are calling a timeout by the third quarter to say uncle.


This time, the Patriots lost, 16-9. They didn't even score a touchdown. Brady's quarterback rating was 53.1.
Brady is still recovering from major knee surgery. Like most people, I expect him to play at a Pro Bowl level again, probably very soon. But I keep thinking: What if he never gets back?

Cowboys receiver Roy Williams doesn't deny being frustrated with his lack of involvement. He was only thrown to four times against the Giants. "Yeah, it's frustrating," Williams said. "I feel like I'm a playmaker. I run my route and hopefully the ball will be there. If not, I move on to the next play, then move on to the next one." Williams said he was not criticizing quarterback Tony Romo and remains confident in Romo to lead the Cowboys and get him the ball.
