I was wondering why I've been in such a good mood the last week or so and I realized that it's probably because the 2008 NFL season is about to start. I'd like to just take a brief moment of silence to appreciate how lucky we Pats fans are to watch such an awesome team.............. okay.
Just had to share this article from Don Banks of SI.com about how the Chargers are making specific personnel moves to counter the Pats. On one hand this is smart and necessary but at the same time if a team becomes too concerned with beating one team they won't be equipped to beat others.
That's all well and good if you've got a great defensive backfield to counter the Pats passing attack. But what happens if you face Jacksonville in the first round of the playoffs? They're a different beast all together. Mobile quarterback, vaunted running game.
That's what I love about Bill Belichick, while he knows he'll have to contend with Peyton Manning and Ladanian Tomlinson his main focus is on his own team and making it as good as it can be in all facets of the game.
We'll see how things go for the Pats in San Diego this October but I'll take Cromartie one-on-one with Moss all day long...
