Ellsbury has to be completely UNTOUCHABLE and is the future of the franchise. Young, smart and aggressive, he is needed even though many say it is all about the pitching. (Johnny doesn't agree with me....he is cement headed on pitching... Thanks for all you do for Sports. John Good morning Bill…..

But as I told my son before sunday's game...The eagles may suck out loud, and I hate them, but I must give the devil his due. They are tough,smart, and well coached, and will never quit. Thank god they haven't got the horses to win every week in the NFL! No real surprises here….I am a Giants fan(first) and have hated the eagles and their fans for many, many years.

I dont understand why no adjustments were made but i give the Eagles credit. The offense was still awesome. 31 points and had the ball for three series in the first half.. They had to deal with Indy like pressure on #12. Like you said Bill, teams can double on Randy all they want , it will be Dante, Wes , Jabbar and Ben that will be one the other side of Toms accuracy and continue to destroy defenses. BRING IT ON!!! BTW - Bill, If the pats get the 49ers 1st rounder next draft, and say its a # 3 or 4, who do they get? A "D" lineman or Linebacker? Thanks, Jim T in L.A.

There is one problem: Wes Welker. He couldn't be covered by the saftey who wasn't helping out on Moss. Remember, the Patriots moved the ball up and down the field most of the game against the Eagles, especially when they had to. They had a TD called back, which would have given them 38 points. Bottom line is Pats didn't play great. I'd hold off in saying the Eagles figured anything out. Remember, Donte Stallworth isn't bad either. The Ravens game will be interesting. We may know more then.

Looking at all of his TDs against the Bills, none of them looked like they were double teams. Perhaps the Eagles took that to heart. The Eagles did come in with a good game plan that kept Brady off the field, and gave Feely open WRs inside the Pats coverage scheme. Good on 'em. Other teams can certainly learn from their approach, but then so can Bellichick et al.... I am surprised we haven’t seen teams put this amount of double-teaming on Moss to this point.

Doesn't every team from time to time. And now they are still alive for the all-time record. Let the rest of the country hate us. It's pure jealousy. The Patriots had a bad day.
