Pats vs Saints (11.30.09)

New England Patriots meet the New Orleans Saints on November 30, 2009

Great first drive ... and used a lot of clock

[Bahku]

Gotta love Wes Welker! What a return!

I <3 Sammy Morris. The Pats need more I formation plays and Sammy is a big part of allowing that to work without a true fullback.

Yeah ... I don't know why Bill keeps going away from that

[Redz]

That hurt.

Still...Love the way this team is coming together.

[Bahku]

Oh man ... what the heck was Brady thinking? That was a direct pass to the opponent! Not even close to a Patriot! And a screen at that! Sorry, wasn't a screen, it was a "quick slant".

Well Sammy's been out. I don't think Faulk and Law Firm are as solid as Sammy is when it comes to blocking.

Edit: BAD THROW TOM!

I dunno ... Kevin's a pretty good blocker. Man, that pick ... timing route that was thrown way late ... twice that Randy's been wide open and Tom just screwed up.

C'mon D!

That wasn't a screen that was a quick slant but instead of following the slant across as Brady was fanning out to his left, Moss broke his route off and went post past the LB coverage. Brady read Moss continuing the route and threw it to the spot Moss would have been in if he didn't break his route off.

Not completely Brady's fault there, though it was a bad read because he was throwing it into double coverage even if Moss continued his route across the field.

Wilfork is everywhere!

Gotcha.

[dang]. 

That was a heck of a TD
