hey kids-
hurray for football!! hurray for winning! and hurray for a brand
new season of the tommy of the week! our patriots opened with their 10th
consecutive week one victory, and even this ugly win was just sooooo prettttty
to watch.
our fearless quarterback led the pretty parade on sunday, and while his
stats weren’t particularly spectacular, he was perfect when it mattered. down by
one, he went six for six during the final drive of the game to set up stephen
gostkowski for the game winning field goal – and the first W of the season. with
so many new faces on the field this year, it’s nice to see this old familiar one
leading the charge. lookin’ good, tommy!
speaking of looking good, there were several fantastic performances on
sunday – from new and old players alike. julian edelman turned into tommy’s
go-to guy, catching two touchdown passes, and shane vereen kept us balanced with
an amazing 101 yards on the ground. even our defense came up big with two fumble
recoveries and an interception, but at the end of the day, the tommy of the week
is going to the new guy. i hear there was lots of hand-wringing after we waved
bye-bye to butterfingers (though after a season and a summer of douchery, i was
pretty happy to see wes go), but watching danny amendola pull down 10 receptions
for 104 yards in game one quickly put any fears to rest. i’m not sure my broken
heart will ever recover from the devastation of the aaron hernandez situation,
but don’t be surprised if you hear a lot of “run, danny, run” coming from this
direction. here he is, looking a lot like the player formerly known as wes –
back in the days when he used to try.
we have a quick turnaround this week and play the jets on thursday night. i
wish our team had a little more experience playing together for this match-up,
but i have faith that our patriots hate losing to the jets just as much as i do.
think your happy patriots thoughts in full force for the next two days, and i’ll
see you back here over the weekend. HURRAY FOOTBALL!
have a great week- and GO PATS!
love dav
