What a crazy game.  2 TDs from Brady to Watson in a minute to win the game.  Just crazy.  Some really quick thoughts:

• I liked Maroney’s kickoff return to start the game. Specifically, I liked him hitting guys instead of running out of bounds at the end.
• Brady was not looking great early, but he sure got it going at the end of the game.
• The Patriots need to finish their drives! Two ending on failed 4th down conversions, one on a missed field goal, another at the goal line where we couldn’t get it in. Don’t know if this was new play calling or Brady struggling.
• I thought Maroney looked pretty good running in the first half when there were holes.
• But there weren’t a lot as the OL didn’t look great in run blocking or pass protection.
• Where was Joey Galloway?
• Lots of new names on defense.  I saw Ninkovich, McGowan, Banta-Cain, and Guyton getting a lot of time in there.

My biggest concerns:

• The offensive line. This is still the same line that lost us Super Bowl XLII
• The defense. I’m hoping all these young guys will come together as a unit and do something great. They really weren’t that bad most of the game. Maybe most of their focus was on stopping Evans and Owens, which they did.
• Finishing drives. The Patriots had a lot of long offensive drives that ended without getting anything. They need to finish these drives.
