Pats win against Buffalo...

The Pats looked good against the Bills from what I saw today. I was at my Mom's house for an early dinner / birthday thing so I did not get to really sit and watch the game, though I did catch several of the big plays.

Tom Brady appeared to take a beating in this game and I noted that several members of Buffalo's offense seemed to have it out for Rodney Harrison today. Harrison became entangled with various players on The Bills side of the ball after the play had ended on several occasions, and during the plays where there was no extra-curricular activity afterwards, Harrison could be seen noticeably jawing with several members of the Bills offense after the play was over. Also, I used the word 'several' on several occasions in that last paragraph.

Pats RBs Maroney and Dillon both performed well in the running game and at one point Maroney pulled of a fantastic kick-off return for 74 yards.

The Troy Brown / Patriots all-time reception record watch continues. Troy got 2 in today's game. That leaves him needing only 4 more catches to take the Patriots all-time receiving record for his own.

All in all The Pats looked solid as I ran back and forth between my Mom's kitchen, the dinner table and the living-room TV. It was a good start for the 2nd half of their season.

Next week we'll face a very dangerous Minnesota Vikings team on the road. The Vikes upset the Seahawks today. This next game will be a challenge for The Patriots and it will be in front of a national audience on Monday Night Fooseball.
