hey kids-
well, it was a little dodgy there for a while, but our patriots pulled it
together and pulled out a win against the miami dolphins sunday.
our fearless quarterback still can’t choose which of our receivers to love,
and all that indecision really took its toll this week. tommy threw for just 116
yards, and everybody who knows how to catch the ball was pretty much equally
jilted out of opportunities to do so. in his defense, tommy’s hand did look like
a pack of overstuffed sausages after one of those nasty jets tried to take it
home as a souvenir last week. still, it’s time to start turning these sweet
nothings into a little sumthin sumthin, tommy!
our patriots looked pretty awful in the first half of this game, but
whatever bill said during half time definitely worked. not only did the offense
score 17 points in the third quarter, but the defense had a sack for a forced
fumble and two interceptions – including the most awesome pick i’ve ever seen.
knowing he couldn’t come down in bounds with the ball, devin mccourty tipped an
errant pass toward marquice cole, who both caught it and forcibly touched both
feet inbounds before stumbling out. apparently it’s called a tip drill
interception, it was super genius. it earned both mccourty and cole co-tommies
this week. it’s that kind of heads up football that’s got us 6-2 instead of
2-6! nicely done once again, defense!
we play pittsburgh on sunday, and while it would be awesome to head into
our bye week with one more win, every time we play the steelers i just hope all
our boys make it out of the game alive. pittsburgh doesn’t look quite as fierce
as they have in years past, but that doesn’t mean that can’t kill somebody (i’m
talking to you, danny amendola!). now that the red sox have taken care of
business, you’ve all got nothing better to do than think your happy patriots
thoughts – so get to it and i’ll try to catch you back here a little earlier
next week.
have a great weekend, and go pats!
love dav
