Sure it has been almost a week since the game aired, but sometimes you have to mull things over, think things through or try to forget that the Pats nearly lost to the Redskins... the first team Redskins!
Top things I liked
Tom Brady (12-19, 150 yds) threw two TDs to Randy Moss - looked like 2007 all over again!
CB Jonathan Wilhite running back an interception for a TD - Ty Law and Asante Samuel sprang to mind. Let's hope he carries taht into the 2009 season.
Vince Wilfork was a everywhere , showing some good speed and hitting hard. Mike Wright had a good game as well. I am liking most of what I see from the D Line.
The defensive front four looked sharp in the 4-3, handled the run well, but the linebackers did not get enough pressure on Campbell.
It was great to see Derrick Burgess chase Redskins QB Jason Campell back 20 yards or so, but where was his help?
The Law Firm continues to impress even if it only against teh 2nd and 3rds.
Top things I didn't like
Redskins FB Mike Sellers threw the American flag on the ground near the 50 yard line. The NFL should fine him, suspend him for a game or drop his ass in Afghanistan. What a douche bag!
Not having defensive backs making any tackles - that is why Jerod Mayo is chasing down and tackling receivers...
Laurence Maroney dancing around the line of scrimmage. The few times he went straight into the holes he broke through for decent gains. His dancing days in New England may be numbered if he keeps that up
Speaking of numbers that are up - Kevin O'Connell throwing 2 INTs - but he is gone know so not much else to say...
CB Jonathan Wilhite looking like a broadway dancer as he ran the last 20 yards from his pick 6... you go girl! I hope someone said something too him and then showed him how stupid looked on TV.
Paris Lennon reaching for the sky on a pump fake from Campbell that lead to Campbell strolling in for a TD.
Too many fumbles from too many people and too many defensive back getting beat...
Richard Seymour getting no where are too many plays.
Interesting notes
Ben Watson finally played and maybe he will go to Philly as the Eagles are lookinjg for a number 2 tight end. Hopefully the Pats send Alex Smith instead.
Rookie Jake Ingram replaces Lonie Paxton as the long snapper.
Deion Branch to be cut by 'Hawks? He is a nice little player and maybe the pats get him and drop Galloway or Lewis? I see Edelmann and Aiken making the team due to there special teams play.
Tom Brady did practice and was (oh my gosh) seen throwing the football.....
IN BILL WE TRUST!!
