The better team won today and we should be honest about that. Here's to no whining about refs, etc.
The rule may be dumb but it was there and the ST players needed to have been coached better. Tommy B has benefited from dumb rules before and we should complain now that one such rule is enforced. The game should have been closed out once the 11 point lead was established instead of having the O choke it up.
Let's be glad the team is at 5-2 and still top of the division. Miami losing today also helped! Now to regroup, get the injured players back, let Gronk get into a groove and kick some ass down the stretch!
Downs from the game
Tom Brady- QB appeared to zoom in on Gronk at times and over or under threw a great deal of passes. Did not recall seeing drops from the rookies. the INT was an ill-advised throw as well. Horrible 3rd down %. A day to forget.
O-line - The sight of Brady going down in sack after sack was disheartening. Wendell and Solder seemed to be culprits. Could not get the running game either in the 2nd half.
ST - Dumb mistakes and penalties (silly block in the back on the Edelman return)
Arrington - Seemed several steps behind Kerley and let the Jets establish their tempo early.
Hightower - Seemed lost on several occasion, esp when Smith was running.
Some Ups
Bolden - Nice hands catching passes for a change a good rushing TD.
Logan Ryan/Dennard - Great read on the Logan INT and the return. Dennard seemed draped over his men all day.
Ryan Allen - Really strong leg and did not really allow Cribbs to do any damange.
(upside for me- I will be getting so much **** done this work because I will be studiously avoiding any post game media coverage).
