Over the last few regular seasons and Superbowls, it has become apparent that the referees are pretty bad when it counts (especially when helping the Steelers' win). At this point you would think the NFL would do something about it.

The NFL is the most valuable sports organization in the nation. More valuable the MLB. Baseball has MLB employed umpires and an umpiring school for them to go through as well as minor leagues for them to umpire in first to rate them. MLB umpires do make mistakes occasionally still but not normally game changing mistakes, especially now with instant replay for home runs / foul balls. Of course, one play or pitch in baseball isn't as important as one football play either.

After watching the entire Patriots game today, I am seeing improvement in the offensive and defensive chemistry and overall team play. With Wes Welker inactive for this week as well, Brady managed to get things moving a little better than last week although he didn't face quite as aggressive of a blitz as he did against the Jets.

This week the Patriots' offense still looked rusty. Normally when under incredible duress, Brady throws slant routs to Welker. Of course, Welker wasn't in the game. Now I'm not saying that was the difference, but there were several times down field when the Patriots could have scored a touchdown instead of a field goal and that would have been the difference in the game.

Throughout most of game one against the Bills, Brady and the offense looked slightly out of sync. It seems it took a hurry-up offense and being down two scores to make them get moving but I hope everything is figured out at this point.

After a long recovery from knee surgery Tom Brady has been looking good again. Apart from the minor shoulder strain, everything has been going great and it looks like that injury is not going to affect anything for the regular season.
