1.) Kudos to both coordinators. These guys get slammed in losses and no credit in wins. The defense was the most agressive it has been all season. The Pats actually had a pass rush. The defense were in spots to be opportunistic. McDaniels called a very good game and his halftime adjustments were spectacular. He threw a lot of new wrinkles into the offense too.
2.) Sorry to see what looks to be the end of a career for Harrison to end like this. He deserves better no matter what others in the league think of him.
3.) On that note, a touch of class by Bruschi going over to comfort his friend and teammate. I wonder what Tom Casale...er.....Tommy Rider thought about that.
4.) Wilfork, on the other hand, is going to earn his dirty play moniker if he continues to pull that crap that he did last night. Two stupid, cheap penalties.
5.) I felt once Neal got in there and got a few reps underneath him, the blocking improved a decent amount as the night went along. This is good because Yates isn't much more than a speed bump for opposing defenders. The guy blew a lot of assignments.
6.) This was the best games for Light and Mankins this season. I was glad to see Mankins being dominant again and making plays down the field after struggling for most of this season.
7.) Hobbs also deserves a lot of credit. I think he is turning into a pretty good #1 CB. He is not playing as far off the ball as much as previous years and I think that suits his strengths.
8.) People can dismiss this win by saying that the Broncos defense isn't any good or Cutler was injured, but when you beat a team 41-7 it is a big win no matter the situation. The Pats last year had several of these types of wins and no one complained.
