Weakness

F@*k the Pats a little. You know you feel the same way. We all do. It is painful to watch them win game after game, somewhat uncontested. Well, until the Colts knocked and the Eagles tried to blow their house down last night.

Sunday Night Football in America is a good thing. Last night, the Eagles came within an A.J. Feeley overthrow of unseating the heavyweight, undisputed champion New England Patriots. In doing so, Andy Reid and his defensive coordinator exposed some severe weaknesses in the Patriots' game.

First, and we all knew this, hit Brady. Hit him hard and hit him often. After that first bone-crunching sack, I saw his red-eyes and knew he had either been up late doing lines of coke off of Gisele's inner thighs or he had "the fear." The Eagles hurried Brady. They shook him up, they moved him around. He was completely uncomfortable and threw up a sub-Brady evening with only one touchdown. Though, he can't be blamed completely. I watched Moss and Stallworth drop passes. It seemed as though Welker and Gaffney were the only receivers on point with Brady.

On the other side of the ball, Brian Westbrook and A.J. Feeley looked like Pro Bowlers (Westbrook always does, but Feeley????). With the exception of Feeley's second and final passes of the evening, he was close to perfect, putting balls in small spaces, sending lasers over the middle to a waiting (and wide-open) L.J. Smith. It was wonderful.

Not only was I filled with fantasy glee because my team was up against the "Patriots" of my fantasy league, but I couldn't help but get a little happy at Brady's misfortunes. Now, they won the game... I know this, but it was still nice to see a hole in the armor. They are fallible. The Colts could've beaten them, now the Eagles could've too. Everyone wants a piece of them. How will they last in the playoffs? Every Defensive End will be hungry for a piece of Brady's jersey. Each safety will smell his passes like never before.

Mark my internet words... The Patriots can't win this Superbowl. Not with everyone out to get them. There is enough talent out there to beat them. I don't know if it'll be the Steelers, Colts, or a lesser AFC team, but if the Eagles were able to show up, stay in the game until the final minutes, and even have a potential game-winning drive... anyone can.

Here's to that happening. F%#k the Patriots.
