After a week off to heal from their close call against the Indianapolis Colts, the New England Patriots were back at it against the Bills in Buffalo last night. The Bills actually were one of the NFL's hottest teams, winning four straight games. Did that matter to the Pats? Hardly. Four quarters later, the Bills were just left in a cloud of dust as the Patriots beat them every possible way by a final score of 56-10. Tom Brady had ANOTHER nearly perfect day, going 31 of 39 for 373 yards and five touchdown passes, four of which went to Randy Moss. By my count, only one of the Moss TD's last night should have been called back for offensive pass interference... Gotta love the "Randy rules"... Why Moss is routinely allowed to get away with pushing off defenders (especially in the end zone) is beyond me. I guess if the referees are going to let you get away with it, you just keep on doing it until they start pulling out those yellow flags. Somehow though, I don't think that's going to happen... as even the zebras seem to be caught up in the hype of the Pats now 10-0 start to the 2007 season.
Regardless of how you feel about Moss, Brady, coach Bill Belichick and the rest of the Patriots, there is little doubt that this team is amongst the best ever assembled. They have scored 411 points in 10 games - a ridiculous 41.1 point per game pace... Brady's got 38 touchdown passes now... he's back on pace for 61! Moss has 16 of those 38 TD receptions himself... Can anyone beat them??? I don't see the Philadelphia Eagles playing with them with or without QB Donovan McNabb next Sunday, and they should make mincemeat of the Baltimore Ravens the following Monday night to get to 12-0. In week 14, they do face the 7-3 Pittsburgh Steelers - a team which at times this year has looked brilliant. At other times though, the Steelers have looked a little inept such as yesterday when they lost in overtime 19-16 to the hapless New York Jets... Will Big Ben and company be able to keep up and end the Patriots streak??? Time will tell...

Brady's Bunches!!!
No, I am not a New England Patriots fan, and no I'm not really a big Tom Brady fan (and neither is Carrie Underwood usually from what I found out today on a radio interview)... Carrie is actually playing in a fantasy football league this year and her team is 5-1 (yes, that's better than any of my teams!) Since Carrie is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and is friends with QB Tony Romo, she wanted him on her fantasy team. But Carrie couldn't make the draft and she got stuck with Brady on autopick instead. Poor Carrie... NOT!
Romo's had a very good year so far for the Cowboys despite that one five interception game, tossing 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions on the year for a very nice 95.6 quarterback rating. Those are nice numbers, but pale in comparison to what Carrie's fantasy QB has done. Brady has tossed a ridiculous 27 touchdown passes in the season's first seven games!!! He's on pace for 61 TD's!!! 61???!!! That number is normally associated with baseball and Yankee legend Roger Maris (Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961 - a record which stood for nearly 40 years). Perhaps more incredibly, Brady has tossed just two interceptions so far on the year - he's on pace for four... His QB rating is a ridiculous 137.9. About the only record he's not on pace to break is Dan Marino's yardage record of 5,084 - but hey, he could get onto that pace pretty easily as his 2007 pace would take him to "only" 4,857 yards at the moment...
In yesterday's 49-28 Patriots win over the hapless (and now 0-7) Miami Dolphins, Brady's line looked more like something you'd see on your Playstation: 21 of 25 passes for 354 yards, six touchdown passes and no interceptions for a perfect 158.3 QB rating! I don't know how many times it has happened, but yesterday he had two more touchdown passes than incompletions! That's CRAZY!!! Where's a stat guru when you need one? OK, I am one, but I'll have to do some digging! :)
Where do Brady and his 7-0 Patriots go from here? None of us truly knows, all I do know is this run of his over the first seven games of the 2007 season is as impressive as anything as I've ever seen in all of my years of watching the NFL.
