Studs of the Game:

• Wes Welker
• Aaron Hernandez
• Danny Woodhead

Duds of the Game:

• Secondary
  • PatriotsInsider from Twitter made note that “starting DBs are in the game. That’s the 3rd string Detroit offense scoring on them”. Arrington couldn’t cover a rock, McCourty was getting burned, and Butler was average.
• Offensive Line
  • Tom Brady was hit, hit, and hit even more. Not a good day for the line.
• Refs
  • I could swear the refs where wearing Lions uniforms out there

Players Who Helped Themselves:

• Julian Edelman
  • Mike Petraglia called Edelman a “one-man attitude adjustment for the Patriots”
• Mathew Slater
  • Slater didn’t hurt his chances and he did have a good catch, so in a game which had a lot of duds, Slater look good (shutters)

Players Who Didn’t Help Themselves:

• Darius Butler
• Kyle Arrington
  • Couldn’t cover a rock
• Devin McCourty
• Nate Solder
• Sebastian Volmer
• Chad Ochocinco
  • I keep hearing Joey Galloway’s name come up in the same breath as Ochocinco’s

Other Thoughts:

• Brandon Tate is now the odd man out
• Danny Woodhead didn’t look like he was still suffering from the hit during the Bucs game last week
• Wes Welker can tackle, but can also injure himself
• My rage meter hit a high during the game and forced my to walk away for a bit
• Didn’t the Lions go 4-0 the season they went 0-16…

Note: Sorry for the lack of videos and photos like I normally have in posts like these… There wasn’t many that came out of this game
