Repost from Game thread.
Thought I'd get here before the Jets fans crash the board.
Relax. Today, the Jets were a better team, but it's a long season. I have the Pats at 10--6 and I'm not moving off that.
Our defense is young so don't put it on Butler; he will learn from today.
BJGE probably doesn't belong out there as much as he played today. I wonder what happened to Taylor.
Gostkowski has to be automatic on kicks of less than 40 yards and I think that's potentially a problem. Without #4, there was no Dynasty. It didn't make a difference today, but eventually it will.
Brady is inconsistent now; great for periods but off at other times. He's 33. With the right pieces I am 100% confident that he has another SB in him, but the pieces will have to come together in a hurry if he's going to win it this year. Remember: Elway is the only QB to win an SB past the age of 35 and only Bradshaw and Montana have won more than Tommy, who lost what SHOULD have been HIS fourth on a fluke catch. I'm NOT saying he won't do it, just that the pieces around him have to come together. It could still happen this year.
I'm not giving up and neither should you.
So, pour another drink (Gin and Tonic, very, very light on the tonic, was my choice).
Don't post anything you'll regret. These are the New England Patriots.
Beat the Bills. Give the Jets credit. Don't trash our guys. Move on. If necessary, drink heavily. I'm off to get another gin (and tonic, of course).
