--Wow…just wow. Forget those 16 points Pittsburgh scored in the 4th—as Tomlin said, teams that far behind are usually able to move the ball. That was a domination.
--One of the things that was bugging me when Moss was still around was the feeling that Brady had to babysit—that is, sit next to him all the time. Winning or losing, the Brady of the Super Bowl years, charging around the sideline, talking to guys, was replaced by Brady sitting next to Randy. It started changing the minute Moss was traded, and yesterday the old Brady was all the way back.
--Chung Chung Chung. Seemed like the Pats D was finding its identity until he got hurt a few games ago, and then they found it again last night (and while the Steelers points were garbage time, wonder if they would have been as easy w/Chung in there.) One guy can make an absolutely huge difference. Remember the ridiculous W/L splits the Pats had with Rodney Harrison vs. without? They essentially never lost w/him. Chung’s starting to seem like that kind of guy. I hear on the board that he’s OK, so a big whew! on that.
--Speaking of Chung, he came out of nowhere to flatten the Pittsburgh receiver on the last play of the 1st Q—I thought he stopped him short of the first down. Second Q., it was first down w/no mention of a measurement or anything. Did I miss something?
--The line play was outstanding on both sides of the ball. Anyone who was getting pissy about Mankins holding out should realize now you gotta shake that stuff off. Brady could have drawn pictures of his receivers he had so much time. Fantastic.
--No matter how much time he had, Brady was awesome. Still trying to figure out how he got that one ball to Gronk, I think it was the first TD.
--Speaking of Gronk, many have been wishing he would be more involved, so his contributions were great. Wonder if it was partially motivated by his mistakes last week--get the guy back in the mix before he loses confidence. Whatever, that's what we've been looking for. And it gives Hernandez a bit of a breather too, which could help down the road.
--OT….man, the Jets are lucky, huh? All that matters is the record, as we always say, but wow. That’s 3 Ws in a row they easily could have lost. Having said that, I don’t have a problem w/the Pats getting pushed by another team in the division. Hell, maybe it helps ‘em in some way. Bring it on.
