What can I find to complain about when the offense puts up a franchise record of 59 points and the defense posts a shutout with 5 turnovers and -7 passing yards?! Well first of all, the weather was our 12th defender today. Titans were dropping passes and fumbling the ball left and right. But Pats defenders were missing a lot of first tackles (snowy and slippery I know) and Tennessee got some huge run plays. Now the shutout definitely deserves credit and they took advantage of the Titans mistakes, but if it weren't snowy I'm not sure this would've been a shutout the way Chris Johnson was running. On the offense, here I'm definitely pleased. I'm glad they didn't throw out half the playbook for the weather. I'm glad to see Brady with plenty of time to throw, great accuracy, and finally hitting some long TDs. Maroney and Green-Ellis were solid on the ground. They'll have to keep it up the rest of the season with Morris and Taylor both injured. Overall, it was a good show against a bad team, admittedly a little better than expected, but I'm not getting too excited because it was against a winless team. It was a good building block towards a tough November. And as if today couldn't get any better, the Bills upset the Jets in OT to give the Patriots sole possession of first place in the division.
