Then, if that's the case, they aren't worthy of the Top 5 ranking they were being accorded all week. Ryan isn't a top QB yet and, no, I wouldn't want him over Brady. Good teams don't beat themselves and Atlanta simply is overrated. Ok, so you take the stand that Atlanta beat itself.

I bet Borges cried like a schoolgirl. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if before the play Borges was in the press box chanting, "DEE-FENSE!...DEE-FENSE! .......Just for the hell of it, could you imagine what things would be like around here if the Pats were stopped,the Falcons took over and scored and ended up winning the game?......Great Mother of God, I shudder to think about it. It would have been a wet dream come true for some members of the media......thank god they picked it up...... When Belichick went for on 4th down from his OWN 24 yard line and made it?

Maybe their game plan WAS to pressure him, but the Pats' more balanced approach on offense yesterday put the kibosh on that? I guess we'll never know, but it's hardly a surprise that Borges went out of his way to downplay New England's best two-way performance of the young season, is it?

It ends with: "If you want to search for answers, they were the better team.” They were, and the Falcons’ passive approach helped make it that way." Do you think Brady has looked sharp so far, Chris? Galloway and Edelman have had their issues, but from my couch, Brady seems to be missing high quite a bit. I thought that article was perfectly reasonable, especially from Borges.

And never mind that Atlanta RARELY sent anyone after Brady yesterday and he picked them apart--which is what, I believe, Borges wrote today. Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant, right Chris?
