I know, I know, it's only the first game of the season. However, I believe game one was the best game in the careers of Watson and Merriweather respectively.
Yes, Watson had the one play where he started running before putting the ball away, and so dropped the pass. Yet, he played great, catching six rockets from Brady, and even looking really solid blocking on a couple of key runs. Of course, catching the last two TDs was huge as well. It could be argued it was his best game as a Patriot.
Not only was Merriweather all over the field, but he was wrapping up on his tackles unlike last year, and several of his tackles were of the jarring variety. Ofcourse, he was there on the key Bills kickoff ripping at the ball as well. Props to him, because he looked like a stud out there for game one.
P.S. - In the preseason and through game one, Bodden looks tremendous! That was his best game as a Patriot too.
