Man, so far, it hasn't been pretty for them. I know it can change, but still..

They were simply an unmitigated mess in last night's game...their LBs matched up on shifty slot WRs, Jameis's passes sailing and also missing wide open receivers, 9 points left on the field by the kicking game, being fooled by the first juke after seemingly EVERY catch by a NE receiver (also taking awful angles). All around just a terrible game and yet they STILL had a chance to win the game cuz NE's defense is as porous as cheese cloth.

Go pats.

Now a nice 10 day rest until the jets.

Brady better rest up...not saying the Jets will win, but I guaran-damn-tee you, we gonna hit Tommy Sparklepony early and often. He doesn't like getting knocked around nor people flying around his knees and ankles.

I am just glad that two weeks in a row we had really good Thursday night games.

Not sure this one really qualified for me, it was sloppy as all get out. Monday's was sweet though.

It was a tight game that literally was decided on the last play of the game. That qualifies as a good game in my opinion.

You thought last week's Packers blowout of the Bears was really good?

Oops. I forgot about that one. I was thinking the Rams Niners game was last week. Although I do have Aaron Rodgers in my main league as my fantasy QB so it was a good game for me.

Stopped watching last night's game in the second quarter to go see Blade Runner 2049, just watched the highlights and Nick Folk's THREE missed FGs Bucs just can't buy a decent kicker these days.

Was able to catch most of the game last night, pretty entertaining.
Always interesting when it comes down to the final play. I guess New England might not have such an easy road to the playoffs and/or division title. That defense is just woeful. Basically their defensive MVP, last night, was Nick Folk!

^ So true.

What a terrible game for the pats, squeezed up a win. D is not showing any signs of getting better. Mat Patricia is not that good as I thought, 5 weeks in and no improvement. You guys can say whatever about Brady, sparkle pony, cry baby, etc... he has been getting hit a lot and still making plays and putting up huge numbers at the age of 40!!

As bad as the defense is, I’ve learned long ago never to count out B&B!
I’m still not entirely convinced either one of them isn’t of extraterrestrial origin!

Meh. Yet again it's not a game that Brady won, it's just a game that the other team somehow managed to lose.

Does any one like getting hit in the knees and ankles? Isn’t it illegal? There has to be a better name than sparklepony? Next week Tom Brady will break the record for most wins during the regular season and it’ll be against the Jets. I thought the defense played solid for most of the night except towards the end. Still think the pats will fix it I mean last year they traded their best defensive weapon and the defense got better.

Who said hit, bro? I said FLYING around his knees and ankles. Peyton was the same way, that's the way to disrupt these types of prima donna QBs. There really isn't, Sparklepony is SO very fitting, but we will accept Twinkle Toes.

And he very well might, but that's the luck of the draw. Bottom line is that he's GONNA get hit and I for one cannot wait for it.

Solid? They got gashed every time Martin ran the ball. I will give them that their pass defense tightened up later on in the game.

So it’s going to be an easy win for the jets in 10 days right ?
