“But today our guys just played well”.

A nabob of negativity would say they are tied for last.
The Indianapolis Colts (1-2) have finally broken into the winning column after beating the Tennessee Titans, 35-33, in Week 3.
The New England Patriots won a Super Bowl a year ago, and what should have been an offseason of celebration and good feelings became one embroiled in litigation and controversy. It is tough to expect the defense to be ideal every single time, but they did their job at least. The previous record was 115 points through the first three games of the 2002 season. However, it was reasonable to expect a competitive game for a quarter or two, but the team didn’t muster anything, and left everyone disappointed.
Yes, it’s frustrating, but even with a Jaguars touchdown, the Patriots would have run away with this game.
That takes a lot of games, a lot of snaps to do that. However, Luck does not have the surrounding cast that Brady has.
Gostkowski said his impressive career numbers are mostly the result of having kicked on good teams that score a lot of points. Myers is quietly putting together a strong first season as the Jaguars’ kicker – here’s to hoping he keeps it up. I’m not sure what Robinson could have done to come down with this pass in the field of play, with Jordan Richards basically piggybacking the receiver to the boundary.
Both of those items must happen or the phrase “first-place Jaguars” will likely be shelved for another season. Blake Bortles is completing 53.8 percent of his passes for 698 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. The Jaguars were driving and were only down 13-3 at the time.
Tom Brady has completed 96 of 133 passes for 1,112 yards and nine touchdowns with zero interceptions through the first three games. To the end zone and they were able to make a trade for that ball and got it back for Tom.
While the offense could not have chalked up a better day, the defense had a few miscues. He would go on to add one more touchdown pass in the third quarter to give him 401 for his career, and the 38-year-old signal caller is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
■ Rookie Tre Jackson had a nasty block on an 18-yard run by Blount and a great block on Lewis’s touchdown run, but he missed a pull block that forced Lewis to get dragged down for little gain. Any team will take that average.
Later in the quarter, Wilson found Graham across the middle for his second touchdown catch this season. He also needs to know when to gamble and when to play it safe – Hurns’s TD was a bad gamble. Jason Myers connected on the Jaguars’ only field-goal attempt. In the first half, it was special teams captain Matt Slater lined up right in the middle of the front line. Is that true and if it is true what tipped you off. You know I think situationally world where. I told the team, ‘There are some decisions I made that we can look at it.’ I’ll learn from them.
I just don’t understand this.

Belichick knows that there are still improvements his team can make, and that includes improvements to his own performance as well as that of his coaching staff. He later said he tried to call it off but it wasn’t communicated to the right people. And while that has improved week to week, it is still more than anything we saw during the first three games of 2007.
