Somewhere Troy Williamson is smiling

Wow, a WR arguing with the play caller. That's a rairty in the NFL. I see why they traded him.

Interesting. Ever since the Patriots switched to more two tight end sets, Tom Brady has become more accurate.

Well duh. Deep plays are low percentage plays by nature. Pass-catching tight ends are usually more sure-handed than other receivers. Of course his completion percentage--which I would argue is an APPROXIMATION of accuracy--is higher.

I find it funny that the two best receivers in this generation have 0 Super Bowl rings.

I just think that the Pats will be better off now that they don't have to worry about satisfying Moss's ego. It feels to me like a lot of offenses become limited in what they can do offensively when they have to cater to a particular player above the call of duty.

That is because passing game is over hyped and over rated. Teams that are really strong in the passing game usually become overly reliant on it and abandon the run. They can become one dimensional. So far this season the strong top 10 rushing teams are winning more than the strong top 10 passing teams:

2010 Top 10 Rushing Teams and their win/loss records:

1) Houston 3-1
2) NY Jets 3-1
3) KC 3-0
4) ATL 3-1
5) Vikes 1-2
6) Raiders 1-3
7) Steelers 3-1
8) Giants 2-2
9) Titians 2-2
10)Chargers 2-2

2010 Top 10 Passing Teams and their win/loss records:

1) Denver 2-2
2) Colts 2-2
3) Chargers 2-2
4) Cowboys 1-2
5) Saints 3-1
6) Bengals 2-2
7) Lions 0-4
8) Texans 3-1
9) Giants 2-2
10)Falcons 3-1

It is best to be balanced than heavy on one side. The teams that have the WR's that are producing huge/crazy numbers like previous years Denver/Brandon Marshall were not usually winning teams.

Other players without rings:

Brian Urlacher
Champ Bailey
DeMarcus Ware
LaDainian Tomlinson
Tony Gonzalez
Jason Taylor
Edgerrin James
Ricky Williams
John Abraham
Priest Holmes
Julius Peppers
Ed Reed
Brian Dawkins
Kevin Williams
Jared Allen
Karlos Dansby

Big list of have-nots, I suppose?

Yeah but no one acquired those guys or hoped to acquire those guys with the belief that they would be the main piece that would lead their team to a Super Bowl victory. People are so obsessed with acquiring receivers without realizing their limited impact on a teams W-L record.

Also, just out of curiosity, does Randy Moss run one route?

Its not that he runs just one route, its he runs one route perfectly and everything else just average.
