Randy Moss Is SICK!

The other 31 NFL teams might as well just concede the season right now, because if the Patriots play the rest of the year anywhere close to how they did on Sunday, it's all over. Keep in mind that the Pats made it to the AFC Championship and led for 58 minutes with a crop of no-name receivers like Jabar Gaffney and Reche Caldwell. Now, the Pats have bolstered their receiving corps with the likes of Wes Welker (who seems to be open in the flat on every single play), Donte Stallworth (an afterthought), and some guy named Randy.

Yeah, it's amazing what Randy Moss can do when he's actually motivated. Nine catches for 183 yards and a touchdown on his first game out after being injured all preseason is pretty good. (And if you actually believe that Moss was injured all preseason, then you haven't been following the NFL long enough to know that his absence was yet another calculated tactic of deception by Master of Trickery Bill Belichick.) Tom Brady has a new toy, capable of catching a 60-yard pass thrown into triple coverage. This season is going to be fun!

And to be fair, credit for the win must also be shared with record-setting kick returner Ellis Hobbs, an offensive line that allowed Brady to take more time making a decision than Fred Thompson, and some guy on the Patriots' sideline with a video camera.
