Good win for us. We're now 10-2 and with Miami losing are in total control of our division!!! Big game for Mitchell, Van Noy and Gost....Congrats to Tom for getting #201 GOAT!!!!!

Let's discuss

The Mt. Rushmore of NFL QB's:

Brady, Brady, Montana, Palko. Brady's so good he's on there twice.

Also, congrats to Jeff Fisher on his new contract and moving up the all-time losses list.

Forgot about Gostkowski somehow. Finally he had a great game. Didn't he drill three 45+ kicks?

This defensive performance depending on some other games will likely have the Pats top 10 in yards, passing yards, rushing yards and they'll be at least top 2 in points allowed, could be #1 depending on what Seattle does tonight

Yep, 45, 48, 45

Honestly I know people will be whining about the offense about not putting TDs in but if this is game turned out to be the one that got Gostkowski back on track then i'm fine with it.

Gotta learn how to stretch the field more, otherwise it was an efficient day.

Here's a good summary.

Did Bill shake Fisher's hand?

Reinventing offense: from 2 TEs to NO TEs ..

On defence they really exploited the lack of experience by Goff. He struggled massively with the variety of pressures thrown at him. Too bad Butler allowed this huge gain on 4th and 11 in garbage time. Less than 100 yards allowed would have been nice, and a record for the Patriots under Belichick.

Stayed away from the game thread to enjoy the game more.

Pretty happy with our defense. Most of what the moron FOX announcers called drops were actually situations where the pressure from our DBs directly caused the ball to go incomplete.

Also more or less happy with our offense. After being up by 2-3 scores there was no reason to run anything risky anymore. It wasn't record setting pretty but it didn't need to be. Another very encouraging showing by Mitchell and Lewis.

Brady looked better than in the last few weeks so hopefully he will be close to 100% for the next two games.

Finally, a nice way to give Ghost some in-game reps. Not much to be upset about..

FYI:

With his 269 passing yards today, TFB now needs just 864 more to overtake Dan Marino, 61,361, for 4th most all time.

To be fair I kinda love it when we give up some really meaningless garbage scores/completions like that. It keeps the fire going and prevents people getting to comfortable. There is nothing better in terms of teaching moments than a blowout win but on a negative note for your defense.

Forgot to say it. I really hope Dola is longterm ok. Even if he has to sit out a 1-2 games I really, really hope he is not hobbled until the end of the year like last year.

Similarly, I will have to check the stats but it felt like they managed Bennett today fairly well. Not too much exposure where he was at risk aggravating his injury. But might just be a wrong impression.

Not much to be upset about..

Except DA getting hurt. We can't afford a receiver a week.
