The New England Patriots are not allowed to lose....

The fraudulent Patriots legacy continues. They were thoroughly defeated by the Bills on Monday night and were on their way to a season opening loss. The score is 24-13 Bills. Brady starts a drive with less than 3 minutes left in regulation. They were given two first downs on plays where they were obviously short. Even the Monday Night Football crew called out the second first down "gift" from the officials.

These generous calls mean so much in a close game like this. They extended a drive that should have ended in a field goal attempt. Instead they scored a TD and made it a 5 point game after a missed 2pt conversion. On the kickoff Leodis Mckelvin of the Bills decided to be a hero and ends up turning the ball over. The rest is history.

The Patriots have built a dynasty on the backs of the officials... it's been all about calls and non-calls for them. There was no way the NFL would let Brady lose his first game back.

One other observation... I would have to assume Brady's shoulder is not as bad as I thought. He threw a ton of passes, not many long balls, but he still had a lot of zip on the ball. Barring a re-injury, I think he'll do fine in 2009.
