Randy Moss Shows Up When It Counts

I can't say it enough; Bill Belichick is an evil genius. Much of the talk heading into today's Pats-Jets game was what, exactly, Randy Moss might contribute in a newly defined role that would probably include fewer snaps. Yeah, forget all that noise

Moss, who didn't see the field for one play during the preseason because he was nursing a sore hammy, went bonkers when it actually counted. Tom Brady threw to Moss nine times today, and all the former Mountaineer Thundering Herd/Viking/Raider did was go for 183 yards. Yep, one-hundred eighty-three. Yards. Including a 51-yard touchdown grab in triple-coverage.

Oh, and Jets cornerback Justin Miller might want to temper the NFL's fastest man talk. Because the 30-year-old Moss smoked him on a 33-yard gain late in the second quarter, four plays before Brady found Benjamin Watson for a touchdown that gave the Pats a 14-7 lead.

The Jets lose the opener, sure, but the good news is that it looks like Eric Mangini dropped a few pounds. So there's that, I guess.
