Great TFB shot from tonight’s game.

I was gonna write a post game wrap up post but I just love this picture of Tommy too much to take it down. So here’s my wrap up. It will be brief.

The Patriots Football Machine is alive and well in Foxboro. I don’t know who wasn’t dressed tonight, but the ones who played looked fairly dominant on both sides of the ball.

Andre Carter, please be everything I dream you can be.

Albert Haynesworth, I shutter at the thought of this defense with you at the heart of it. Please. Get back on the field soon.

Jerod Mayo could have 500 tackles this year.

I’m not sure what the answer in the back end is.

Looks like McCourty, Arrington and Bodden three very solid pieces. Aggressive. Physical.

Another good performance from RIdley. Kevin Faulk to PUP, injury insurance. Leadership. Vereen is the question mark. Red shirt year perhaps?

This will now be a big week of preparation as we can expect to see the starters into the second half next week in Detroit. Hopefully destroying an ill-equipped Lions team.

But seriously folks, given the circumstances of the off-season this is a pretty impressive job by BB, the Patriots coaching staff, and the entire personnel department. To put together a team that can already put together back to back weeks of good fundamental football is impressive. So bravo to them. Again. And you know I love doing that.

But it won’t mean anything if the Pats look like shiitake mushrooms in Miami.
