The One Man Show

Although it might not seem like it, I really don't particularly enjoy writing about the Patriots, I'm more indifferent then anything. However since the majority of my posts are on the Patriots, I apologize in advance for those of you who really don't enjoy following the Patriots regardless if it's negative.

Despite having proclaimed this already as a Patriots post, it's probably more proper to claim it as a Ronnie Brown fan zone then anything else. For those of you where under a rock and didn't realize what happened, the Dolphins beat the Patriots. Let me say that again, the Dolphins beat the Patriots, no joke, 38-13.

Brown, the main catalyst in the Dolphins upset had five total touchdowns, four of the rushing variety and one passing. They weren't just your boring punch it in from the goal line kind either, four of the five touchdowns were direct snaps. The play calling and the execution had the Pats looking like Ohio State last week against USC. (picture from espn.com)

But as far as Brown is concerned, this is hands down the biggest game of his career. Coming into the game he had only one game in which he scored more then two touchdowns, last year against the Jets. Now obviously this type of production won't happen every game, but hopefully for Brown he can use this as a stepping stone for his marginal career thus far.

Now although I was never too high on the Patriots, so-called analysts diagnosed that the only supposed problem with the Patriots was their offense. Without Tom Brady it's an obvious problem. But what about the defense? Prior the game, the same analysts have been using the word "experienced" to describe the Patriots defense, but now it's official, that "experience" word was just a cover up for old and aged. But thanks to Brown and his heroics, he exploited what they really are, old.

It's great isn't it seein the Patriots go down that badly at home to Mia no less. If this is how their d is gonna play then I don't care how weak the AFC East is, they won't do anything. Their d is the only chance they have of doing anything cuz Matt Cassell is not capable of leading the offense. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for this team.

I just want to say that my opponent in fantasy this week had Brown, he totally killed me since he accounted for 5 td's.

I saw highlights on sportscenter though, Brown had an awesome game.

I think in the AFC east you have to put Buffalo as the favorites. I mean 3-0, and Trent Edwards looks like a god.

As far as Brown, I thought halfback directs only work in NCAA Football for xbox? or which ever console you have
