What bit I was able to watch, Simon seems to play well. Let's hope that trend continues. Marsh had a couple of good games last year, so don't want to read much into today.

This offense could be scary good with Patterson, Dorsett, Gordon, Edelman and Gronk in a 5 wide set, or drop one and bring in Sony or white.

Mount Brown . a big physical presence . also big psychological presence.

Look at fins DB making a business & life-saving decision going to the ground (as if pretended tackle makes sense in this situation ) to avoid Mt.Brown's lethal bulldozing..
(while completely forgetting about blue RB coming in for TD)


Oh, btw - congrats Sony on 1st of many!

From the end zone camera angle, you could almost see Howard hollering, "Oh F**K no!"

Positives: This was the first time they've dominated with a full team effort like this in awhile. The team came out and played with a must-win mentality, and every player showed tremendous effort. On defense, they seemed to communicate way better and didn't miss many tackles; when they did miss, there was always someone right there to finish the job. The team just seemed to play a lot looser; maybe they are just finding their identity now and lower expectations helped them to shake the 2x defending Conference Champions burden they've been carrying.

Negative: This is the first time I've wondered if Brady's age is actually catching up to him. He has played some off-games, but he has always seemed to be sharp and still playing at an elite level. Even when not at his best, typically his arm strength and decision making have not come into question.

Something just seemed to be off with him all game, despite his decent statistical output. He threw 2 INTs that were not good passes (arguably the first was just a good defensive play, but he usually throws it so it's only catch-able by his receiver.) A lot of throws were just off-target and required some athleticism to make a catch. The receivers and protection are not great right now, but Brady just seems rattled. He is throwing the ball quickly when he doesn't need to, and he isn't flawlessly moving around in the pocket like we are used to. We've seen him play with terrible supporting casts before, and he he doesn't look like this. I almost hope he has some undisclosed injury he is battling and this isn't the first cracks showing, like we saw with Manning in mid-2014.

Sony Michel sucks and can't run...sure glad Bill snuck some other guy into his uniform today and got some production...but...Brady had a bad game, or so I just read, and Gronk is pretty serious with a real bad injury because he left the game when it was 31-7...so really, it's all still "REAL BAD!!!!" around here ...except for Fnord, who bet the house on the Pats last night when this place was a virtual ghost town.

Marsh had good games? When?

In 9 games with the Pats last season, Marsh had 16 total tackles, 1 sack, and couldn't set the edge with a truckload of Jersey barriers to help.

In his first game, Simon had 5 total tackles, 1 sack, and set the edge very well.

Did he do anything except for the Falcons FG block?

Watch the block by Patterson on this play. Gordon had a nice block on White's TD. I like that!
