Merry Yule!!!

A Merry Yule to all! :)

The Winter Solstice is upon us! When I woke up around 7:15 this morning, it looked like the middle of the night! ;) Cloudy and a bit rainy here, and snow showers predicted for later.

We won't be having a white Christmas this year. :( It'll be heavy rains and winds on Christmas Eve, clearing by morning. The only good thing about no snow is less worry about clearing it and driving, but the weather may still affect people's plans.

As for today, perfect day for getting all snug under my quilt and having hot pizza! :) Last weekend my sister and her husband came over to watch the game, but I'm going solo today while I watch Tom and the boys compete against the Jets.

Enjoy your day, my friends! :)

Week 16: New England Patriots 17, New York Jets 16 (12-3) (Sunday, December 21, 2014)

Week 16: New England Patriots 17, New York Jets 16 (12-3) (Sunday, December 21, 2014)

The Patriots squeaked out a win over division rival Jets. It's always a grinder with these guys! Disturbing that the O-Line had regressed (Dan Connolly was out) and the Jets sacked Tom four times in the first half. The Pats had no pass rush or blitzes on their side to speak of, either. >:( Not good to play so badly this late in the year, but the Jets are always pesky. And this is probably Head Coach Rex Ryan's last game for the NYJ.

Tom scrambled for a first down and Gronk and Jonas Gray scored TDs. Julian Edelman was sorely missed as he was out with a concussion. LeGarrette Blount was out for the day, too.

Thank goodness the Jets have no offense and can't make big plays! The Pats escaped and clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs. And Big Vince blocked a field goal, which probably saved the team's bacon. Go, special teams! I'll take a win on Yule! :)

The Dolphins won and the Bills' game is in progress:

NE 12-3
BUFF 8-7
Miami 8-7
NYJ 3-12

EDIT: The Bills lost! :)

Next week the Pats finish up against the Bills at home in Gillette Stadium. Go, Pats! :)
