Quarter by 1/4: Holy cow

So this one looks like it’s already over. In the first quarter.

Tommy Boy is perfect so far, and even his personal nemesis - the Miami defense - doesn’t look like it knows how to stop him.

If there were thoughts about dousing the Pats offense, they seem to have evaporated quickly. Tom Brady already has two more touchdown passes, including a crisp pass to Donte’ Stallworth, the breakout receiver who’s quickly moving up towards the Randy Moss echelon in terms of explosiveness.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins offense looks thoroughly confused, to the point that Ronnie Brown looks like the team’s lone weapon. Not exactly what new coach and alleged offensive genius Cam Cameron had in mind, for sure. The team is driving the field as we write, but even that seems like small consolation … it’s taken a perfect play call on a 4th and 1 and a couple of lucky grabs just to keep the drive going.

Should the Dolphins score a touchdown here at the doorstep things could get a little interesting, but we kind of doubt it. After all, Tommy Boy is 7-for-7 so far today. Even Miami legend Dan Marino could take notes from that.
