Put another 4th quarter comeback win on Brady's resume.
Lot of bad football in the NFL to go all around. Jets, Bills, Bears, Jags take certain defeat to victory. All this before the ball was even snapped on Sunday. Nothing is for certain and its only week 3 so there is plenty of time to get better.
Was very impressed with Houston's defense in the 2nd half. It seemed every time TFB extended his arm to make a pass, there was a Texan there to chop it out. They are very good and this oline needs to improve to a higher level for just these types of defenses come playoff time.
Watson came very close to becoming the first rookie to beat a Pats defense in the BB era. Color me impressed, he did well and whether or not you think this defense sucks, he deserves a ton of credit for extended the plays and creating the open receivers. Fantastic throw to their te on the one play that very few other rookies/seasoned vets could of made. Oh yeah, he's. slippery too. Looked to see if I could go back and find one hold on their oline that I could blame that first down on after 5 misses and it was clean blocking. Just a combination of a chicken with young legs with a ton of elusiveness and poor tackling by Pats.
Unlike some I'm not too worried by the secondary. Lot of dislike for McCourty in the game day thread, go figure. Imo, all can be corrected, the talent is enormous and you can't fix that if its broken.
Dline played pretty well, thought they handled the run decently. LB's are probably weak link on the team right now. It would be nice to have Hightower back in the lineup for next week.
Brady is a rockstar and they close out week 3 with a win. Cooks should be off the radar because I think this is what most imagined when they traded for him. League should consider itself lucky they aren't dealing with Edelman, Hogan, Cooks and Gronk.
Ot. Great catch by Amendola to set up the game winner to Cooks. No easy catch by any means.
Way for Hollister to hold onto to that one ball while getting destroyed. From what little I've seen, it seems like he may have a future if he keeps working at it.
Thought Obrien and coaches outcoached BB and coaches in 2nd half. Its so rare to see because it hardly ever happens. But when it does you take notice. However, Brady is the goat so it didn't matter in the end.
Good win. They will get better as the weeks go on. Hopefully to championship caliber by December.
