The most telling stat, as I see it, from Sunday's Pats/Chargers tilt is that the Bolts were 3 of 12 on third down. I can't add, heck, I can't use intelligible English or control my bowels, but I know that that is 25% and that won't get in done in the playoffs. A lot of people have been tough on the Pats D as they seem to think that giving up yards or "big plays" is somehow more important that giving up points. The bottom line is that the Pats gave up only four field goals to a team that put 28 on the Colts, at Indy, against a team that lots of people claimed was the best D in the game. The Pats D, as usual, did what it needed to do, and then some, when everything was on the line. Granted, the Chargers were without a lot of their main weapons, but as BB would say, "it is what it is." The D stepped up when it counted most. And stepped up uge.
On a side note, I have two questions:
Question #1
(First, the preface to the question)
On Saturday night, the Knicks played the Heat in Miami. The game, I will assume, started at 8pm. I think we can also assume that the temps were some where in the 60's or 70's. And, let's remember, we are in Miami. The Knicks were 12-27 going in to that game and the Heat were 8-30. That, again, I'm a baby, not a mathematician, is a combined record of 20-57. The official attendance was a sellout. Which I think was a total lie. That would mean, if we assume the Heat are not lying, which they probably are, that 19,600 people went to that game.
The Question: Why in the name of god would anyone go, let alone pay money to attend, a game between these two teams? What possible reason could one have for this colossal waste of time?
[Imaginary Conversation:
Dude from Miami Who has Tickets to Heat-Knicks Game: Hey, BD, you wanna go to the Heat-Knicks game?
BD: (silence)
Dude: So, uh, you wanna go?
BD: (glares at Dude, shakes head in disbelief, and walks away, shaking head in disbelief)]
Question #2
Will someone please explain to me how and why the following three people still have the jobs that they currently have?
1. Matt Millen
2. Joe Morgan
3. Isiah Thomas
