Interesting to see what they'll do with Johnson.

And this deserves some recognition:
Vince Wilfork and Dominique Easley to help feed 800 families

Good to see Amendola making an impact.

The Patriots have been insanely impressive over this win streak, interested to see what impact Chandler Jones has on the D when he returns.

Brady cannot throw that deep one (with accuracy) anymore!

When is the last time Brady successfully threw a hail mary? Three years ago? Anyone know?

Hail Mary? Maybe never... Is this a knock on Brady for not throwing a last second pass into a heavy traffic of players that miraculously gets tipped and caught by a Patriots receiver? That's like asking why a goalie in hockey hasn't scored a goal yet, or why the first basemen for the red sox hasn't circled the bases for an inside the park homerun.

If you're speaking long ball? Then this year. Brian Tyms. Brady hasn't been throwing deep over 40 - 50 yards successfully because he just doesn't have the weapons to bring them in. It's not easy. He did it once to like Bethel Johnson and maybe a handful of times to Troy Brown his first seven years before he finally got a player of Moss's caliber. Then he did it consistently because they were in sink. I'm not saying Brady is great at throwing deep, but who cares? He's not that kind of QB, he finds other ways to beat you. I mean who honestly is good at the deep ball these days, Drew Brees?

Anyway, great game, good to see this defense is a defense. I homerishly hyped up guys like Arrington, Dennard, and Ryan, and Harmon as a good capable secondary crew last year. Now they're our BACKUPS! So hilariously awesome to have an elite secondary.

Didn't get to see the game but Johnson only 58 yards? Not even 100 yards running for the Lions?

On a side note this interview with Lynch is awesome

Celtics Champs, let me make something clear: I love Tom Brady. In no way was that a knock on him. Just curious

That Tyms one must have been the only accurate one all year...the other ones were all overthrown like Randy was running the route!!

Okay, sorry. I don't think Brady has ever thrown a successful hail mary. He was close in the last seconds of the Super Bowl but gronk couldn't get it off the tip with a bum ankle. I think the last successful one in the pro's was last year
