BenJarvus Jeremy Green-Ellis YOU GET IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW!!!

Well, the Pats sport blue and win yet again, behind a strong performance by BenJarvus Jeremy "Law Firm" Green-Ellis. Honestly, I want a jersey with that whole name on the back of it (the letters would have to be REALLY small). It amazes the mind and the loins that the Pats seem to have two personalities this year, the first is a confident go forth and crush all comers, and the second is an unsure, timid child. The confident team wins, the timid team loses.

The final score of the game was 20-10, but the game was never even that close. The Pats spent most of the game with a 10 point lead (10-0 and 13-3) and only allowed a junk TD with 1:46 left in the final quarter. The Pats held the Bills to 60 yards rushing and only 180 yards of total offense. They picked Trent Edwards twice this game and sacked him twice more. Edwards is starting to show that he is not a great quarterback. He is a good quarterback, perhaps even very good and certainly good enough to win a Super Bowl, but he's not even in the upper tier of his generation.

On the other side of the ball, my boy BJJG-E rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown, which came at the end of a 9-minute drive that pretty much sapped the entirety of the 4th quarter. He never broke off a big run, and doesn't seem to have that capability, but constantly ripped off 4-6 yard gains every time he touched the ball. Cassel turned into a reliable NFL quarterback, going 23/34 for 234 yards in a well managed game. His favorite target: Wes Welker who is on pace for another 100 reception season. This week: just 105 yards on 10 catches. Perhaps more encouraging, was that Cassel got Randy Moss involved in the offense to the tune of 5 catches for 53 yards, as well as a failed end-around.

Unfortunately, Linebacker Adalius Thomas suffered a forearm injury in the game and had to be removed in the second quarter. Some reports say it is broken and will require season ending surgery, while others state that he is out for Week 11 and may be able to return before the end of the season. Wait and hear on that one.

Oh, and the Pats wore blue and won... again. I should think they'll shelf the lucky blue a couple weeks and save the luck for the playoffs.

They take the field again Thursday night against the Jets and Brett Favre (by the way, shouldn't that be pronounced FAV-ray?) as well as newly acquired cornerback Ty Law.

Player of the Game: Who do you think!? LAWFIRM, baby!
