At least the Chargers couldn't score the FU touchdown

I wasn't expecting a Pats win tonight, but that was very damn ugly. First quarter, Deltha O'Neal gets burnt like popcorn after someone hits 21:00 instead of 2:10 in the microwave but doesn't realize it. Twice. Or was it three times? Three players go out with injuries (Jarvis Green, Ellis Hobbs, Nick Kaczur). Meriweather leaves in the second quarter. Rest of game, it got worse. Bad throws, drops, Cassel has a nice drive to start the second half but gets no points after a first and goal at the two. Deltha O'Neal gets burned again. Does anyone have Ty Law's phone number?

Cassel makes more bad passes as the game goes on. Defense continues to struggle. Deltha O'Neal screws up again. Defense still can't get a sack. Quentin Jammer did do a nice job shutting down Moss, I'll give him that. On the field, the only available solace was that the Chargers never got to really take the opportunity for the Bill Simmons made famous FU Touchdown. You know, the one with :45 left to make it 37-10. In all fairness, had the Chargers tried to do that in the 4th, I can't say I blame them.

I'm just glad it's over, and hope Green can come back soon. The MVP of the game is the new right tackle, Mark LeVoir. Fumble recovery, solid blocking, a huge improvement over the Ontario Oxycontin Turnstile, I mean Kaczur. Warren played a solid game as well, and Morris and Faulk had some good runs. But this was not a good night, at least it was a fairly quick game. Next up, the Broncos on Monday Night Football (remember when MNF was actually good?). It can't get much worse for the Pats than tonight. Talk to you next week.

But before I do, one fantastic thing tonight: the appetizer spread Murphy's Pub gave to us Pats fans, I cannot thank them enough for this. I had to mention that.
