Bill vs. Bill... Bill wins 12-0

Ok, Ok, Ok... Before I even go into my thoughts on last weekend's game, I just have two questions...

1. What is going on with QB Tom Brady's headshot? His NFL photo makes him look like the Amish Warrior. And, WR Terry Glenn had the same exact hairdo. Is there something going on in the NFL we should know about?

2. Is there a "Ken Walter Sucks" fan club out there? If not, can I be the guy to start one? Maybe someone out there can at least make up some bumper stickers or something because this guy sucks so bad he could die and come back as professional fluffer.

No, I'm not explaining what a fluffer is, go ask your parents.

Sunday night Bill Parcells and his Dallas Cowboys came to town, as two of the best coaches in the NFL squared off in a nationally televised game. The game was played, and the Pats came out with a shutout, but to be honest...

The Cowboys had several chances to win, but threw them away with miscues and several mistimed penalties.

Having watched Parcells' personally during his time here in New England at training camps and home games, most of us know his pet peeve amongst players' error are penalties.

For example...

It's fourth and two on the Cowboys 21 yard line with the Pats lining up for a field goal. The ball is snapped and Vinatieri plows it through, but there is a flag on the play for encroachment giving the Pats first down and putting them 17 yards away from the end zone. The Cowboys kept the D tight and the Pats were forced to kick another field goal, but if a TD had been scored, that penalty would have cost CB Terence Newman an extra earful from Parcells.

That wasn't the only penalty that hurt Dallas eight. There were many and the interceptions that QB Quincy Carter threw were just as bad.

Now the Pats are 8-2, and could very well go 12-4 as I had predicted, but this weekend the Pats continue their beef with the state of Texas and head off to take on the Houston Texans. Which by all means can be called a "trap" game after watching the Kansas City Chiefs get outplayed by the Cincinnati Bungles in a HUGE upset. Unfortunately, with the return of NT Ted Washington and LB Ted Johnson the Pats D will be looking to flex their defensive muscle once more.

But, that isn't all... Since Brady has taken over this team my biggest complaint has been that he can't hit the long ball. This season Brady has hit the long ball several times and finally the Pats may have aided him by signing former 49ers WR J.J. Stokes.

Stokes is bringing with him some of that West coast flavor that Jacksonville didn't give much of a chance to show earlier this year. If Stokes comes in and makes an impact for this team, it could be one of the best late season pickups in NFL history.
