holy patriots!
i’ve gotta say, kids- i did NOT see that coming. the patriots ran away with
a victory against the colts – our third resounding victory in a row! the hot
streak continues!
i love it when our fearless quarterback can throw 198 yards and no
touchdown passes and we still win by three scores. tommy was pretty much
relegated to team holder for this game, holding the ball out for the parade of
running backs speeding by him – and even holding the ball up for stephen
gostkowski after our punter got injured. apparently the the secret to winning is
true. you gotta know when to hold em, tommy!
there were so many patriots who deserved the tommy this week. of course,
blount had another amazing game with four touchdowns and 166 yards, dennard
pulled down two of the d’s four interceptions, and i had to remind myself i do
NOT heart danny amendola more than once. (really, it’s for his own good!) in the
midst of all those great performances, dad says the tommy of the week goes to
jamie collins, and i can’t argue. with yet another injury on defense, our rookie
linebacker stepped in and stepped up with a sack, an interception, and a whole
bunch of tackles that helped our defense shut down the colts. the rookies have
been making us proud all season long, and these big performances give me hope
not just for the distant future, but also for the immediate future. here’s to
the first of what i hope will be many tommies, jamie collins!
it seems backward to have to beat the colts and then the broncos – but
that’s the way it’s going down this year, kids. we play denver on sunday early,
and i’m not gonna lie: i’m a little worried about it. still, i think we’ve got a
fighting chance, even if tommy does play some of his worst football in mile
high. think your happy patriots thought extra hard this week, lest they
dissolve into thin air! hopefully your next tommy of the week won’t be your
last.
have a great week, and go pats!
love dav
