Didn't I hear an exPatriot player was supposed to be playing for the Vikings and be a key to the game? Anyone notice who that was?

Great job scheming the running game by OBrien. The quick inside trap worked great and we ran it more than I have ever seen us do.

McCourty is learning on the job and getting better every week.

Run D is becoming a tremendous strength for this team. I dont know or care what the final stats were, the D did a great job against Peterson.

Ninkovich is really starting to grow on me. Since the flailing missed tacjled vs Mr Classy he has been steady and reliable.

Did Jared Allen play? Some people on this board owe Matt Light a comment or two.

Myron Pryor may have answered the wishes of millions of people and ended Brett Favre's career. I think thats a broken jaw, and by the time he could play, the Vikings will be out of it.

Great job of tackling by the D. I dont think most people realize how hard it is to stop a guy 2 yards in front of the sticks in the open field, I seem to remember a bunch of those tonight.

anyone else worried that the sports media will call Pryor's Hit Illegal cause of who her hit and what happened to him

Hey, anybody think that Bill Belichick is the best coach in football? Anybody wonder about the value of a good coach?

mine would be:

- I think I found who's jersey I'm going to buy next: #32. You can SEE him getting better each and every week. And to think, Bodden is on IR and will be back next year to go alongside him. Anyways, I'm becoming a huge fan and think, based on his film study and steady progress, will be borderline "shutdown" (i hate that word) by the end of the season.

- Much like Devin, the defense as a whole continues to improve each week.

- I wish the offense had more of a sense of urgency earlier in games. I would think the 2 TE offense would be fairly effective with both Gronk and Hern in there, but surprisingly not so much....until the second half.

- BJGE was awesome today. I hope that he can keep a bit of that up.

- I would hate to finish without mentioning Mayo. Obviously...awesome as usual!

Ninko had a HUGE tackle on a third down play that easily could have been converted. He also got some pressure on Favre and played a really solid game.

McCourty was awesome. Arrington didn't terrify me. Things are coming together.

And for what it's worth, held the Vikings to 4 of 11 on 3rd down (36%), 1 of 2 on 4th down (50%).

I have almost no doubt they will fine him.

I don't know, Pryor didn't come close to hitting farve in the jaw. It was a perfectly executed tackle, just what the NFL wanted.

- Danny Woodhead wins the Patriots Halloween Contest today. He went as Kevin Faulk. Perfect costume almost thought I was watching him today especially on the direct snap TD. I am sure Rex is kicking himself for letting him go even if he never dressed for a Jets game.
- McCourty had a shutdown performance today. You expect a game like this from a seasoned pro, not a rookie in his seventh game.
- I really hate Gary Guyton now.
- Mike Wright is quitely having a great stretch and has been a big reason the pass rush has improved.
- Kudos to the o-line that got so much crap last week (deservedly so) by redeeming themselves today.
- I would have liked to see Randy Moss play today. It would have added a little more drama for the game. What?!? He did? Looks like Belichick might have seen that Moss is deep on the back 9 of his career.
- The offense really played stellar after an uninspired first half.
- BJGE has proved me wrong for the most part and has been a lot better than I thought he could be.

5 Rings for Brady!!

We would be undefeated if we had shipped Moss out sooner, IMO.

Also important is fighting on each play. This team has fight, on every down. That 4th down stop at the end of the 1st half was amazing. Heart. That is everything. Heart.
