I'm pretty sure any day now Ocho - what's his name is going to tweet "Every time I walk past Wes, Aaron, and Gronk they snicker, and I can't figure out why"

Didn't get to watch this one, though I hear I didn't miss much. Nice to see the defense make some noise, and I'm not surprised with the successful two-minute drill by Brady ... tough to compare anyone else with him when it comes to manufacturing late-game scoring drives. That's something I would've like to have seen.

watched the game with a Cowboys fan, it was a pretty ugly game but it was worth the wait on that last drive

Cowboy fan was crestfallen

it didn't help when I pointed out that it isn't often that a team can turn the ball over 4 times and still come out with a win

This was definitely a good win.  I was pretty impressed with the cowboys overall.  Romo didnt do terrible, but there were some dropped passes that definitely helped out he Pats in this one.

I thought the Tight ends did really well, I think I counted 5 3rd down conversions to the tight ends yersterday. 

Also, I thought when the Pats wanted to run they were effective. 

These ugly wins don't really bother me, when you go up against a quality opponent in this league you arent supposed to blow them out.

Not a pretty game but pretty entertaining. 

Vintage "Bend Don't Break" defense from the Pats.  I know the yardage numbers are high but they're making progress.  I thought they did a solid job at stopping the run and made red zone stops when they need.

That was just locked in Brady on that last drive. Incredible.  He made 2 or 3 ridiculous passes on that drive.  Showed why he's one of the best to ever play the game.

Satisfying win to head into the bye week.  They have a tough stretch coming up; @ PIT, NYG, @NYJ
