I witnessed the kind of offense I have want to see which was balanced and focused. If anything the reason we did not score more points was Brady but that defense is not chopped liver on the other side. They have a great interior pass rush and the safeties and cornerbacks are elite.
The rookie wide receivers looked better and I read somewhere where Dobson was criticized for not catching with his hands yesterday which is absolutely wrong. I just looked at the game on the condensed NFL rewind and he caught 6 of 7 with his hands and the one he let get to his body was necessary because he went low to get a low throw from Brady which was where the pass had to be and how he had to catch it to keep it from being incomplete. He was targeted 10 times with 7 receptions and all three non completions are on Brady. Dobson was wide open in the endzone but Brady did not hit him do to a rush and he threw high right on a short out to the right corner at the marker. Dobson was Brady's primary target while Revis took edelman out of the game. Not only did he catch it well but his blocking helped multiple good runs.
Thomplins caught 3 of 7 thrown his way with one bad drop but his first touchdown was excellent recognition by Thompkins that he had a mismatch and rather than take it deep he cut it inside and Brady hit him and he made it look easy running into endzone. His second touchdown was a result of Thompkins again recognizing the situation and changing his route to the back line of the endzone where Brady hit him.
Because of the Tampa safeties the correct offense was to keep it underneath the safety help nbut Brady missed a wide open Sudfeld down the left sideline but he showed confidence in DObson on a deep pass down the right hash that resulted in defensive pass interference. Boyce was in for several plays and Brady missed him when he was wide open on a corner route. Bolden broke off a right sideline go route that if he had continued was 6 points. Rookies and young players make mistakes.
Brady was 25 of 36 and could easily have been 30 of 36 or better. The running game was consistent and at times explosive. Boldin is a big play waiting to happen and Ridley ran hard and Blount is the big back we have been looking for. I have no idea why BB did not go for field goal up 23-3 could it have been mercy.
Vollmer went down but I thought Cannon played very well at Right Tackle.
I do not know ifn the defense is elite but Tampa is a talented team on offense and can run it well and Jackson and Williams are elite receivers. Talib did a great job on Jackson until he went down and when he was on Williams he did well. Chandler Jones is special and Tommy Kelly has a nack for getting to QN and Vince is Vince and Ninko played well. I thought out Linebackers were excellent in coverage but I am worried about our depth at D-line. Chandler Jones is special but I prefer him on the edge and not at DT although that kid absolutely never tales a play off.
After the first quarter NE dominated the time of possession and the game. In many ways it looked like the Pats of 2003 and 2004. Gronk will make a huge difference but Hooman had 2 nice receptions on 2 targets and did his usual great job blocking.
Big game Sunday evening against Atlanta but I like our chances a lot better after Sunday. The Pats will be a very scary team by years end if Amendola and Gronk are back. I hope Vollmer is not seriously hurt but it is a foot and they can be tough heals although Cannon is good enough to replace him.
