With the trade deadline now in the rear view, here are some thoughts, along with some notes from today’s top stories.

Tom Brady revealed on Monday that he and his wife Gisele Bundchen planned on being “Avocado and Toast” for Halloween.
For anyone wondering who might be wondering what that might look like, Gisele posted a photo on her Instagram account of the couple on Tuesday night.

One of the topics of discussion over the last couple of weeks has been the team’s struggles with maintaining drives at the end of games, and after taking a look at the numbers, there was a notable trend that stuck out that may explain some of their problems.

Jimmy Garoppolo may have only managed two regular season starts during his tenure in New England, but he certainly made the most of them.

It looks like Jimmy Garoppolo won’t be the future of the Patriots after all.

Newcomer Mike Gillislee is still growing in New England’s offense, but he’s got one growing pain that still seemingly remains a challenge for him.

The Patriots offense had a productive afternoon Sunday against the Chargers, but they weren’t quite able to escape unscathed during the win over Los Angeles on Sunday.

Philip RIvers should be used to losing against Tom Brady, and Sunday’s loss added him to the record books with other QBs who can relate to his frustration.

Losing Julian Edelman was obviously a difficult blow to begin the season and his loss isn’t the only thing having an effect on Brady’s totals down inside the red zone this season.

The Patriots arguably had their best defensive performance of the season on Sunday night, but it sounds like it might have come at a high cost.

Getting their fifth win of the season clearly felt good for the Patriots, who took care of Atlanta Sunday Night at Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots improved to 5-2 on the season after their 23-7 win over the Falcons Sunday night, and there are plenty of reasons to be feeling pretty good about this one.

With the Atlanta Falcons set to visit Gillette Stadium on Sunday night in a Super Bowl rematch from February, it’s hard not to reflect on a season that ended with an improbable fifth championship for Bill Belichick’s football team.

It’s one thing when your fans believe you’re the best in the game.  It’s probably quite another when you find out that a group of your peers apparently agrees.

It’s been a rough start for newcomer Dwayne Allen, with the tight end having seen a difficult time getting acclimated to the offense.
