Randy who? Deion’s back, baby! ;)



Wow, what a game! At first things were slow, as the offense was out of sync and the defense couldn’t get off the field on third down (they’re the worst in the league with that stat). Then down 10 points in the fourth quarter, the ol’ Brady magic was back! He had started connecting with old friend Deion Branch and Deion really started to get back into the groove. He was the Super Bowl-winning MVP five years ago with the Pats and left the year after because he wanted more money. Now he’s back and it’s like he never left! He and Tom definitely have a chemistry thing going on, and it shone today. :)

The young defense made key stops in the fourth quarter and in overtime, allowing the offense to get down the field and Stephen Gostkowski kicked the winning field goal!

Sure, losing Randy Moss was tough, because he’s a Hall of Fame receiver, and you don’t replace talent like that overnight, but Brady-to-Branch was always a winner, so I think we’ll be okay down the line. :)

It was a wild bye week with Randy being traded to the Vikings and Deion being traded back to New England. Never dull around here! ;)

Yay for the Patriots winning! I thought of you way when I heard they traded Moss but I kept forgetting to ask you what you thought. But it definitely looks like getting Branch back was a good move and they'll be okay. :)

I'm sure we'll miss Randy, but he was a diva that needed a lot of careful handling, and he wanted out because the offense was moving away from him to some extent and he wants numbers for his last big contract.

Tom and Deion have an eerie chemistry that will serve them well. :)
