The Jets recorded 0 sacks. If you gave Grossman that kind of time he'd probably look good. Well, probably... maybe. Brady’s uniform was exceptionally clean at the end of the game.

Not me, not even close. Gimme a break. I'm simply asking whether it's fair to give them the Lombardi after one week. Who is arguing that the Redskins are anywhere near as good as the Pats?

Just because the Redskins have been a mediocrity for the last decade, don't shit on the Patriots, who are better than the Redskins by a factor of 100. A wee bit jealous, I see?

Signal stealing has been going on in pro sports for years; it's part of the game. (And in some cases, such as Tampa's Super Bowl win over the Raiders, it would be stupid not to use the signals you were given.) You still have to execute on those stolen signals. Was Reche Caldwell invited out to visit the Jets for any reason other than they wanted to pick his brain about Brady? How is this scrupulous, especially when it dangles hope of a job in front of the still-unsigned Caldwell? The Pats beat the hell out of the Jets because all their weapons are in place. Maroney is a pounding RB, and an opposing secondary has two top-flight receivers--Stallworth and Welker--to worry about even before having to deal with the problem of a motivated Randy Moss.
