Pierre LeKinquelicker also calls BB "mad scientist" in the MMQB, plus he's still shamelessly cheap-shotting the Bengals by not even listing them in his "Fine Fifteen +1" & with Arizona (beat 'em, + from weak division), Tennessee (beat 'em) and #16 6-10 Miami all listed over them. They WERE in the playoffs & they also lost by 1 to Houston 2 to Denver, 5 to SF & barely in Baltimore ... they belong in this list with the other playoff teams.

>>> The Patriot way.

Found myself looking out at the Patriots' dismantling of Denver thinking:

...

2. No one moves a struggling first-round corner to deep safety in the middle of the season, but that's what the Patriots did. That's where Devin McCourty played most of Saturday night.

3. No one plays with a fired Oakland practice-squad safety, Sterling Moore, at cornerback in the playoffs, or backup wideout Julian Edelman, at nickel back, in the playoffs. The Patriots do. Every time I looked up Saturday night, Moore was on an island with Demaryius Thomas or Eddie Royal. A safety in Oakland, not good enough to stay on their practice squad last September, on the street in October. Now Moore's playing 36 snaps at corner (according to the charting of ESPNBoston's Mike Reiss) in a divisional playoff game.

Bill Belichick's a mad scientist. He knew his defense had to change when it was getting strafed so badly in midseason, and he changed it, drastically. Who knows if it works another eight quarters. But 10 seasons after he used a bunch of middle-class free agents to help New England win its first Super Bowl, Belichick is scotch-taping another run together with Tom Brady playing at his peak, and a bunch of complementary pieces on the chess board. Should be fun to watch.
