That was an impressive performance by the Patriots. Perhaps their best game of the year, at least #2 after the Titans game.  The run game was going (197 yards), the pass game was beautiful (more touchdown passes than incompletions), and the defense looked great, stopping the Jags on 4th and 1 early in the first quarter to get things going and getting two interceptions.

Now the question is, what do the Patriots do next week?  The game means virtually nothing to us - it decides if we’re the 3rd or 4th seed, but we have no idea who either will play.  So it could be a good opportunity to get a bye week before the playoffs start, BUT it would be nice to see if we could be conistent and continue this great performance next week, on the ROAD at Houston.  It will be interesting to see what the Patriots try to do.  Personally, I would like to see them keep the momentum going, although resting any injured players.

On a side note, the starting Colts players sure looked deflated and demoralized after being benched and losing that game to the Jets…

The Patriots again looked awful in this one.  The defense made Chad Henne and the Dolphins offense look great.  But I think the bigger problem is the offense.  We (surprisingly) don’t have enough weapons on offense!  Teams can come out and double cover Moss and shut him down.  And that leaves Welker as our only other legitimate receiving threat.  He’s doing great in that role (leading the league in receptiosn), but its not enough.  We need a 3rd receiver (not Sam Aiken).  Not having Donte Stallworth or Jabar Gaffney hurts us.  They used to always say that Brady’s favorite target was the one that was open, because he would spread the ball around so much.  Now it just goes to Welker.  One thing I really don’t understand is how the tight ends haven’t gotten more involved in the passing offense.  Surely Watson and Baker should be getting more throws their way as teams double cover Moss and Welker.
