And for all the fans that laughed when many of us said yesterday's game was meaningless both in the standings and for the players themselves, well you heard it from the horse's mouth. They didn't lose sleep over losing, and they held back. You play these games for the same reason you play preseason games, to stay sharp, get on the same page--especially Edeman and Brady. I can't say that they did after the shock of the Welker injury, but they certainly tried.
Obviously, those that said that winning or losing the game would not make a difference were correct.
If you disagree, then essentially you don't believe Brady when he says he didn't lose any sleep over it.
