so mr brady, what have you to offer me?

showing the pats d on tv...they look slightly confused, but they've been there. no real sweat. but unlike what we would expect, the pats were on top of the running plays, but were open to be passed on. clearly they expected coughlin to establish the run on that opening drive, but ol tom had different ideas...

brady et al take the field. moss immediately gets a 1st with a nice falling catch.

and welker takes a short flank and tacks on 6 yards for a 1st.

maroney...left with the bones...no gain, maybe a yard.

brady recognises the blitz, calls a screen, but makes a low throw. 3rd and 10.

faulk takes a dump-off. belichik goes for it.

4th down...

easy-breezy pass to moss...1st down. but the gints are getting through.

maroney still looking to get more than a yard. stuffed.

another 1st for welker. biggest, BIGGEST acquisition of any team this year. and again, as gregg easterbrook has noted, brady passes straight ahead. no problems.

maroney nothing.

brady, shotgun, no backfield, nothing.

3rd...brady throws it out of the end zone past moss, field goal to follow.

7-3, gints.
