Not a good day for New England sports fans

Sunday, October 11, 2009 will not go down as a memorable day for the New Englanders. Today, the only good thing that happened was the Chinese Food that I ate for dinner. First, early this afternoon, as you read in my previous blog, the Red Sox got swept by the Angles. Second, later on in the afternoon, the Patriots go down to the Denver Broncos. The Broncos advance to 5-0, and the Patriots fall to 3-2. Not the start that we were all hoping for this year with #12 back at the reign. Tom Brady had an incredible first half striking for 2 touchdowns, and then something happened in the second. The play calling was awful, running the ball on 1st and 2nd downs, and then throwing on 3rd hoping to pick up the 1st down. It looked like we were playing conservatively and trying not to lose the game, rather than win it. This did not look like the Patriots that I know. Their inconsistency throughout this early part of the year is starting to scare me. At first, I thought it was some "kinks" and "rust" they were brushing off after last year, but I do not see these faulty characteristics improving. Brady missed Randy Moss twice today, one for a touchdown in the 1st half, and then another for a large gain in the second.

All I have to say is that this was a day in sports that we need to forget and move past. Thank god that tomorrow is Columbus day because it would have been a very tough Monday for sure. Now, tomorrow we will have a day to recover and put this past us. The Pats have Tennessee next weekend, and the Sox will have a new beginning next year. I can't think of a better way to feel better tomorrow then a nice round of golf at my country club at Hickory Ridge! Hopefully I wont play as bad as our teams did this weekend!
