Tim Wright's last two touchdown catches have traversed 2 total yards.

It's like he is playing with manning

 

[I am party]

Can someone explain Tim Wright's TD celebration? O'Dell Beckham did the same dance last week. Is that a tribute to 'N Sync? I refuse to believe that's the case, but that's all I can come up with.

EDIT: found the answer via twitter. apparently it's called the "Whip dance". kids these days, lord baby jesus.

Brady is peaking.

brady > manning

and is not close

Happy to see Wright get a catch after being invisible last week

The Pats need to keep the pedal on the floor and not let up.. On both sides of the ball..

 

[raduray]

Thankfully they learned their lesson and threw on the one yard line this time

It set up the play action pass.

 

[PatsBoy12]

The O is definitely in a groove right now. They know all the matchups and, more importantly, how to maximize the opportunities with each one. It's scary good.

Brady is 12 of 13 and the incompletion was the drop by Vereen.

Imagine how good Brady would be right now if Belichick didn't hate Brady so much and refuse to give him any weapons.

People think Manning getting better with age when in reality he had the best weapons of all time.

I don't care, i just can't stand it.

Gostowski makes better commercials than Manning

 

[BradyFTW!]

play action is killing them....

3rd and 18 brady runs and finds gronk. haha that was awesome!

These Bears LBs (especially without Briggs) just aren't good. They overcommit to compensate for being bad at football, which leaves them very vulnerable to both PA and draws. McDaniels has exploited that pretty heavily so far.

I absolutely hate that hurry up at the goal line ****..
Other than that they look as sharp as they've been in two years.
Stork in the middle of that offensive line makes a huge diff.

 

[PatsBoy12]

On that catch it looked like Gronk anticipated the contact to his thighs/knees and unplanted both feet.

I think he really is learning to play smarter. He's beginning to learn to live to play another down rather than make every play about smashing through people.

 

[Rob0729]

BTW, although the score doesn't reflect it, the Panthers are smoking the Seahawks. The Seahawks are the team everyone think they are this year.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Orton to Watkins for 84 yards to Jets 5. Stupid Watkins slowed down to celebrate and got tackled. Dope.

 

[jays52]

The game within the game is just fantastic this week. The coaching is on point and the execution is money. They're becoming the team we all thought they'd be right in front of our eyes. This is football nerd porn.

But it was a nice celebration.
