Same here. At least run with the ball covered up. I was waiting for someone to come and hit him from behind.

Haslett is going to slap Hall in the back of the head. Complete bonehead decision.

I'm glad Fox took us to the Carolina/Arizona game to watch the final kneel-down...

Hmmm, I watched this game and I thought the Patriots looked very AVERAGE. This Rams team is really mediocre and the Patriots could not put them away until the 4th quarter. Even with the Patriots great field position all game they were stagnant on offense. Don't forget they got 9 points off of field goals. The defense really saved them.

Is this not happening because of the coaching change? I know about him because of that huge discussion a lot of us had on here about the lack of white RB's - then took a mental note about him, but thought he wouldn't get many carries in SL because Jackson gets more carries than most in the modern NFL. Now that Jackson is out, he still won't see any action and is technically the #4 rb on the team now? I'd take him in IND if no one wants him . He could work behind D-Rhodes

Pittman was the backup RB coming into the season. He was hurt... just got activated this week.

I was just making some observations. Really, what good teams have the Patriots beaten?

What truly good teams have we even played?

We had the easiest schedule coming into this season based on last years records, everyone knew that.

You win the games on your schedule, period.

We just beat a team that came off back to back wins against the Redskins and Cowboys, so I don't know why you think they're awful. This wasn't the same team that Linehan was coaching.

You have not played any truly good teams yet. Great point.

The truly good (playoffs) teams you beat last year:

Colts
Giants
Redskins
Chargers
Cowboys
Steelers

Would you agree that the Patriots looked VERY beatable today?
