It must be very disconcerting to a team to play well and take the other team’s MVP quarterback pretty much out of the game with 3 picks and still lose. But that is the modus operandi of the New England Patriots. Yes, you may be able to force Tom Brady into a rare bad game – but then someone else steps in and gets the job done. In this case it was Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk. And of course Mr. B. did what he needed to do in the 4th quarter. He engineered a touchdown drive and went 7 for 7. So even when he is down, you can never count him out…
Up next, the New York Giants. They will be no push over. They scored more points on the Patriots than did any other team during the regular season (35). They are hot and will play the Pat’s tough. The spread (13) is ridiculous…
