This was a pretty good game.  Another tough divisional fight. I think these close games are good practice for later in the year.  Although the defense struggled with the Wildcat in the 2nd quarter and the Dolphins’ first drive of the 3rd quarter, they came through for the rest of the second half.  A few random thoughts:

• Brady and Moss looked good, going for the deep connection.
• Vince Wilfork played over at end, and looked pretty good there.
• Stephen Gostkowski had some nice kickoffs, especially the touchback after the offsides.  I loved that Moss was the first one to congratulate him after the touchback.
• Randy Moss had a great day, especially that stiff arm.
• Miami’s rookie corners are going to be really good.  Vontae Davis had some tight coverage on Moss most of the day.
• As always, Wes Welker shined.
• The red zone offense was lacking.  We need to score touchdowns in the red zone if we’re going to win games.
• Perhaps Laurence Maroney’s “self-scouting” during the bye week paid off…
