Thought offense would get it’s act together. Was pleasantly surprised to see defense play much better. Showed much more speed, pocket pressure and run defense. Can’t wait for Thursday Colts game with Edelman back and Gordon getting more snaps. This offense could be really good. Michel talent starting to show.

Yikes, Tyler Eifert's ankle injury reminds me a whole lot of Gordon Hayward's injury....  :'(

Dominating performance by the Pat's tonight. If Hogan and Gronk hold on to those two passes that were intercepted, the Pat's may have put up 50 points.

Incredibly frustrating night to have Brady in fantasy! Put up a really good game, but had 2 cruddy picks.

Can't complain about crushing the Colts though. That Gordon TD catch was awesome

Brady has been far more daring with his throws this season though, hasn't he? Seems like he's gone away from only putting the ball where the receiver can catch it.

That throw to a double covered Gordon was borderline irresponsible, ended up being a heck of a play of course.

Kinda true—I have him, and this was by far his best fantasy game this season at 29.5 points, but he could've had AT LEAST a half dozen more points, possibly quite a bit more, if it weren't for those two "interceptions" and Edelman's drop—like, possibly a 40-point night, which is a rarity. But, 29.5 is still pretty dang good.

Gordon is like a "Moss lite"—Brady had some throws like that during Moss's tenure, and Brady seems to have confidence in Gordon similar to what he had in Moss: Just throw it up, and he'll come down with it.

It's a big IF, but if Gronk, Gordon, Edelman, and White stay healthy, that's just too many great receivers for ANY defense to handle—one in the seam, one deep, one underneath, and one in the flat.

Unless I'm misremembering both those passes popped out of the hands of the receivers and both were catchable. It's to bad that is all on Brady but I guess he's used to it.

Both balls hit Gronk and Hogan in the hands. Neither was a particularly tough catch to make. Any football coach will tell you if a ball hits you in the hands you better catch it. My high school coach would have players run laps if they dropped passes or interceptions during 11 on 11 scrimages/drills.

Out of the 6 interceptions Brady has thrown this year, 4 have been balls that the receiver should have caught, didn't and the ball deflected into an interception. I guess that makes up for a few years where a bunch of balls weren't caught and the coverage man didn't make the INT when he should have.

The NFL has almost accomplished its goal of killing defense.

Glad to see Brady and Gordon gelling more. Alongside Gronk, Edelman and the two-headed threat in the running back stocks this offence is looking good.

Too bad neither defences in this game are much to write home about

Take the over, whatever it is. The defense is a ########## mess, and KC's isn't much better. Hopefully we have homefield in such a matchup, hard to see us getting outscored in a track meet at Foxborough. Especially against a non-Northern team in the dead of winter.

So the week debate on SBNation was "Who would you give the ball to in a 4th quarter comeback drive- Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady?"

Two-thirds voted Patrick Mahomes.

It was settled.

43 all time 4th quarter/OT game winning drives in his career and more SB appearances than Mahomes has career starts, and they still pick the young guy, lol. I’m all for young talent, but it seems foolish to not hold on a little bit before calling him better than the GOAT
