Gregg, Just Us the Truth

You have got to love Gregg Easterbrook. He continues to be on his hate-filled diatribe against your New England Patriots.

If you read any of Eastrebrook's work on Page 2 of ESPN.com you know what I mean. For some reason he cannot accept the fact that the Patriots are the best team in the league this year. He needs to stroke his ego by continuing to pile on Bill Belichick.

Easterbook's latest debacle is laced with so much animosity that he mis-portrays that facts of his latest claim that the Pats again ran up the score against the Bills. Here is what Easterbook says in his piece:

"At the end of the third quarter, the Patriots were leading Buffalo 42-7 -- more than the margin of the greatest comeback in NFL history -- yet Tom Brady was still on the field, still throwing passes like mad while the Flying Elvii were going for it on fourth down rather than attempting a field goal, frantically trying to run up the score."

Hey Gregg, take a look at the official play-by-play of the game. It shouldn't take you too much work as you can find it on ESPN.com. Here is the play-by-play of the last five plays of the third quarter and first play of the fourth:

1st and 10 at BUF 19
(3:10) (Shotgun) T.Brady scrambles left tackle to BUF 15 for 4 yards.
2nd and 6 at BUF 15
(2:29) K.Eckel left tackle to BUF 12 for 3 yards (A.Hargrove).
3rd and 3 at BUF 12
(1:49) K.Eckel right guard to BUF 10 for 2 yards (A.Schobel, K.Ellison).
4th and 1 at BUF 10
(1:09) T.Brady pass short right to R.Moss to BUF 7 for 3 yards (T.McGee). Screen pass, caught at BUF 9.
1st and 7 at BUF 7
(:28) K.Eckel up the middle to BUF 1 for 6 yards (A.Schobel).

2nd and 1 at BUF 1
(15:00) K.Eckel up the middle for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN.

Over this period Brady threw 1 pass for 3 yards. He was in on 1 play in the fourth quarter for a total of 5 seconds...Eckel's touchdown run. Matt Cassel came in to play the rest of the game. Hardly "throwing passes like mad while the Flying Elvii were going for it on fourth down rather than attempting a field goal, frantically trying to run up the score."

Easterbrook must be one of those reporters who despise Belichick because he doesn't spoon feed the media what it wants each week. I have no problem with that. Just tell us that's the case so we can take everything he writes with a HUGE grain of salt.
