The Importance of Rest and Bubble Wrap - AKA What's Right with Brady

[MainePatsFan26]

Well, that was the Brady we all know and love. The accuracy was better with a much more solid touch on short- to mid-range passes. Overall, I think the answer to what was vexing Brady a bit down the stretch was the need for rest and getting most of his weapons back.

Honestly, this win was amazing beyond the score. Brady was essentially in Bubble Wrap out there, not taking those cheap hits and sacks that he had been enduring against many of our divisional foes. It ended up working out great that Buffalo got eliminated because, while we would've won a third game against them, it would have also meant that Brady would have gotten knocked around more.

Now the question for the Patriots is whether they'd like to play Pittsburgh or Jacksonville. From the perspective of keeping Brady in good condition, would we rather face Pittsburgh? For my money, my biggest wish is that Pittsburgh and Jacksonville bludgeon each other with a dull hammer and the golf carts run out of fuel in an attempt to triage everyone. But, also let's hope for a clean game!

Pittsburgh. Pats and Steelers are the 2 best teams. Bring it on!

Jags. Cos I can’t stand Tomlin. Blake Bortles also suck.

The second quarter last night was the first time I saw the offensive rhythm we are all used to.. maybe the extra week of practice/rest or maybe it was because Hogan and White were back.. it was great to watch Brady keep the Titans on their heels and use of the hurry up offense was quite effective.

I want a beat up Pittsburgh team. We know them.

I'm just hoping we win and make it to Minnesota!

Pitt because I like trolling those guys after they get killed

I think Pittsburgh is a better match-up for our offense, but the Jaguars are a better match-up for our defense.

But it really doesn't matter. What matters is us. If we play the way we're capable, we will beat either. And if we don't, we won't.

There is no AFC team that can beat us at our best. If the Steelers or Jaguars play their best game against our game, we would win, so it's all about what we do vs. anyone we play.

Bill Belichick: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?

McDaniels: The open receiver, fleet halfback, falcons at your feet, and the Lombardi in your hand.

Bill Belichick: Wrong! Patricia! What is best in life?

Patricia: To crush the Steelers. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their fanboys.

Bill Belichick: That is good! That is good.

Pittsburgh is the easiest matchup by far. Them.

Also Ray Lewis killed 2 guys and his white suit is missing.
