    The Patriots Might Just Be Toying With Us Now


    A while back, we said that this whole "call a timeout right before a big play" business would end when someone called a timeout that nullified a great, game-winning play by his own team. That's exactly what happened tonight, thanks to an overeager timeout from Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan. The Patriots look human ... but they're still winning, the way they always have. All in all, though: An amazing game. And holy crap that last play. Jeepers.

    The Patriots Are, For One Night, Almost Mortal


    The Eagles might have fallen just short tonight, but three important things happened.

    1. Andy Reid, courageously casting aside Those Family Issues — he's a hero! — just provided a blueprint on how to possibly beat the Patriots.
    2. Tom Brady looked noticeably concerned at several points. Well, at least, not smirking.
    3. Most important, they made that Foxboro crowd go silent. That place doesn't necessarily take a punch well.

    Much more tomorrow, once our Wes Welker fever abates ... and we finish strangling our Neil Rackers doll.
