Connelly's Top Ten - Rodgers is Toast, Patriot Win Despite Drops, Judge Whiffs
?
1. Patriots vs. J-e-t-s
?
STUFF
?
* Gutsy Winning Drive - hats off!
* Thornton drop led to Maye running the next play leading to concussion
* Rodgers is done - that came fast (he was getting lost with play clock)
* Another beautiful day in Foxboro?
* Jets are a mess - they won't win 6 games - they should sign Bill / get rid of the kicker / fire offensive coaching staff
?
BOB AND MAYO
?
* Jerod wearing a Bill Hoodie and baseball cap
* Bob 3:54 left in first quarter / 10:28 left in fourth quarter in high chair / Kraft with 23 seconds left / Kraft with 22 seconds / Kraft after TD
* How long before the owner has Asante Samuel ring the bell?
?
QUARTERBACK PLAY
?
* Maye needs to learn how to slide?
* No penalty on hit to head of Maye?
* Sincere Brissette makes clutch throw to Boutte (who ran a great route making Sauce Gardner look silly)
?
OFFENSE
?
* I would make the wide receiver corps dress in the parking lot - huge drops - Thornton, Boutte (2), Bourne (2)
* Hats off to Boutte saving his day / team's day on last drive?
* Another opening drive - rush, rush, pass, punt?
* Boutte complete coward across the middle with a drop going alligator arms (keep your mouth shut)
* Stevenson is 15th in Patriots rushing history with 19 TD's?
?
DEFENSE
?
* No Duggar, Peppers, Barmore, Bentley, Judon
* Like the man to man on the outside and stuffing the box / Gonzalez huge day on Adams
?
OTHER STUFF
?
* Refs - That was a fumble or intentional grounding on Rodgers / Bogus holding call on Jordan / bogus interference call on Gonzalez / ball was uncatchable on Ellis interference in end zone
* $9 million Schooler overruns punt coverage
* Nice punt return by Jones
?
2. Around the NFL and College Football
?
* These diva wide receivers demanding trades in mid-season - not good for league?
* Boston College punter Friday night - punts of 24 yards, 30 yards, 32 yards, 32 yards (11-year-old girl Eryn Pruett kicked 31 yards in Punt, Pass, and Kick)
* Right now, the first round of college playoffs would feature Texas vs Texas A&M
* Love new Indiana coach Curt Cignetti telling Hoosier fans at his introduction this offseason "It's pretty simple - I win - Google me." Indiana is 8-0
* Bill Sweepstakes - Jaguars then Giants then Jets then Cowboys then Bengals?
?
3. Striking out in postseason

4. Bruins - Celtics
?
* How long is Jrue Holiday gonna be OK with 6 field goal attempts a game?
* Marchand and Coyle are each on a pace for under 10 goals this year (by the way they are a MINUS 12)
* The Celtics bench is averaging 36.5 shots a game / 23.4 which are three pointers (64%)
* Derrick White is the most important player on Celtics
