Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Vince Lombardi once said that football is all about blocking and tackling -- whichever team blocks better and tackles better will win the game. One doesn't argue football with Vince Lombardi, but he knew he was oversimplifying, and the Patriots-Bills game today demonstrates this. Buffalo hasn't been blocking and tackling much better than New England, but they haven't been doing it worse. More important in today's game (which isn't over, BTW, so I could still look silly), though, is how many of Buffalo's tackles have come from their offense -- i.e., they haven't been holding onto the football. It's an important part of the game.

Incidentally, there was a sign in the crowd saying, roughly, "New England will always love Drew Bledsoe, but not when he plays the Patriots." (It was long-winded for a crowd sign, though it may have been a little more concise than that.) I don't think that's an isolated sentiment -- Pats' fans generally admire the way he handled himself last year, and upon his transfer to Buffalo.
