Indeed.
Game's getting better now, huh?

Because Tiki Barber is just that good. I think he's an MVP candidate this year.

ESPN and NBC are very pleased.
To: Terpfen
He might have won it last year if it wasn't for Alexander.
To: mainepatsfan
Heck, I'm very pleased.
Wes freakin' Welker, ladies and gentlemen.

Well that and he didn't blame the Giants playoff loss on his offensive line.
To: mainepatsfan
Agreed. Alexander should slow down, which leaves the window open for Barber. Faces tough competition from Tomlinson and at least one guy named Johnson, though.

14-10. Not bad against the world champs at home. OTOH, not bad that the the wounded Stillers are leading SI's pick for SB XLI with their best player (27-4 as a starter) on the bench.
To: Terpfen
Tomlinson's success will depend on whether or not Philip Rivers can make throws.
To: steelyourfaith
Why should NBC be barred from sportscasting?
Reason number five thousand:
Their sound engineers are stoners.
Dear NBC:
Ever heard of noise-cancelling filters? Ever heard of pre-game sound-checks? Ever heard of on-the-fly adaptations?
Good f***ing grief!

Wounded how? Roethlisberger's the only starter sitting out, and it's not as if you guys are a run-first team. Meanwhile, Miami has injuries of its own, Culpepper is reading your blitzes, and you're only 4 points up.
I'd say Miami is doing fine.

Unless Rivers went to the Aaron Brooks quarterback school, Tomlinson should be okay.

Whoops; meant to say that you guys are NOT a pass-first team. Apologies.

I heard an interview with new Patriot Doug Gabriel. He said the difference between the Patriots practice and the Raiders was startling.
To: Terpfen
The Stillers under Cowher have generally had very good D and a clock control ground game but they never had the dimension of a quality QB until Ben -- and then BAM-O they go 27-4 with him as a starter.
I'm just happy to see the Stillers still in the game with Ben on the bench against the mighty Fins.
To: Petronski
It's their first NFL broadcast since when, 97? Maybe they forgot everything.

Yup 1997 season. Their last game was SB 32.
To: steelyourfaith
Even now they're still a run-first team, though with Batch in, they're passing more to pull defenders back.
Be nice to see Ronnie get some rushing yards.

Yep, although I didn't watch NFL in 97 cause of the Browns thing.
