from “wildcard doom“ to bye at hand - Happy Holidays

Before the kick I said if Elliot missed that kick. It would be the epitome of our season in one play but he made it

Boring, but I like boring wins. Texans lose we're #2 seed, win next week and take a week off to regroup and heal

“Good coaching, Sammy. You earned it.”

Everyone is invited

Got to take care of the jets. Darnald on fire with 3 td's today.

Wouldn’t call the defense a “sure thing.”

FYI - Your first tweet coming back as page not found..

#2 seed for now !!! Let's win next week boys !

Strange to say, out of the 3 units I am most worried about our O !

Another bye is close. Just need to finish off the Rats next week.

 

[DaBruinz]

Jets game now a must win.

It was a "must win" before. Why would you think that would change with Houston losing?

 

[Patriot Missile]

Gilmore on Psycho Anderson next week.

I think Brady definitely has some kind of leg injury cause his footwork has been so poor compare to his usual standards, hopefully the bye week helps.

The defense was okay today but that's about it. The good news is the Patriots currently have a second seed. The bad news is when the playoffs start the Patriots have to play a competent team which isn't going to bode well for them.

Because I think Houston wins next week.

The defense was only ok? 2 Interceptions and a fumble recovery? They shut down the Bills run game while keeping Josh Allen under 50 yards rushing..

What people perceive as a leg injury for Brady is most likely the result of him being jittery and not very confident because he knows he doesn't have offensive weapons that can get open. The loss of Cooks and Amendola coupled with Gronk being a shell of himself has turned this into a popgun offense. When the offense was going well a few weeks ago, Brady was driving the ball, and throwing darts. Even against Miami in the first half, he was throwing bullets. It's not a matter of whether or not he can do it. It's more a matter of his confidence in the offense being shot. He is jittery back there, and he can't find open guys.

I thought Shaq Mason had a really strong day. My favorite play: watch him pull, hit the second level and blow up the linebacker allowing James White to run 27 yards for the touchdown.

 

[BradyFTW!]

The secondary did what a good secondary should do to the worst receiver corps in the NFL. The ground game was impressive. Hard too evaluate the run defense against a team that can't run. Passing game was alarmingly bad.

But all that really matters is the win and seeding, and this week went as well as we could have possibly hoped on that front.

Brady isn't hurt, he's old.

That puts you at about 104 based on your performance

Going back and rewatching with a focus on Mason is always fun. He crushes people out there

Maybe this moment can energize the team even more.
