Just a quick note to those outside of the Boston area wanting to watch the game: NFL.com offers live video coverage of its NFL Network games online. It's not exactly TV coverage but offers multiple camera angles and some exclusive content. I haven't personally watched a game on it but I've heard it's a viable option to those without access to a TV with the NFL network.

Keep up the good work Mike

I think you're right on the money about Moss - his high reception total is higher than I would have anticipated to this point given the circumstances but the jump ball factor has not been there. He's aging but still a great player.

However, you didn't mention the dynamic that he brings to the field. It is sort of always implied but with him literally drawing a double team on every play that has to help Cassel out - almost an extra lineman if you consider they can blitz one less player.
