hey kids-
the patriots rolled right out of the bye and right on over the indianapolis
colts on sunday, alleviating any fears that they might lose momentum with the
week off. whatever. don’t pretend like you weren’t worried too!
our fearless quarterback didn’t haven his best game ever, but it certainly
wasn’t his worst. tommy wound up 19 of 30 for 257 yard and two touchdown
passes – along with two interceptions that he definitely deserved. that’s twice
as many as he’s thrown in last 5 games, but less than half as many as eli
manning threw on the same day, so we’re not going to whine too much. tommy
didn’t whine either – he just got right back on the horse, the role of
which will now be played by rob gronkowski.
i couldn’t believe how fantastic our defense looked against the nfl’s #1
offense, holding them to just 20 points and stopping them on third and fourth
down over and over again. it would take a truly spectacular performance to steal
the totw, but by now everyone knows that’s exactly what jonas gray delivered.
gray got honorable mention in the totw a few weeks ago, and the newbie clinched
it sunday by rushing for 199 yards and four touchdowns. it’s crazy that our new
rushing workhorse was on the practice squad last month, while legarrette blount
is now teamless after getting cut from the steelers. sometimes i think the
hoodie has powers of clairvoyance. in any case, here’s jonas celebrating his
very first nfl touchdown... or maybe this was the second. no- that’s definitely
the third...unless... well you get the idea.
we go from the nfl’s #1 offense to it’s #1 defense with a matchup against
the detroit lions on sunday. i know our defense is ready to go, so let’s all
hope tommy’s worked out the wiggles and the wobbles and our offense comes to
play. think your happy patriots thoughts, and i’ll see you right back here
next... sunday? let’s be optimistic and say sunday! it is a morning game.
have a great week, and go pats!
