Great game so far. I like the shitty New England weather - perfect for football ---

Brady not looking best amused, two receiver screw ups , one looking the wrong way and another fluffs the catch, well at least to my amateur eyes. ---

It’s been close, but pretty ugly. This is one where it’s less of a defensive battle and more of a offensive rock fight. I’m sure the rain isn’t helping. ---

Doink! I’m sorry but why kick it from 56 in the rain? I get it if the weather’s good. ---

Was really hoping that FG was good. Kneel downs not so exciting. ---

I wonder what the Vegas line was on a Belichick-Brady hug? ---

I don’t know how Vegas lines work but having been in the Boston area for 20 years and definitely NOT a Patriots or Belichick fan, I would have put the odds in British style at 1/150. ---

Meanwhile…how 'bout them Zona Cardinals, lol. Did anyone have them as one of the remaining undefeated teams after week 4? FWIW, I think the Rams will pay them back when they meet again. I get the sense that the Rams were a bit weak after their impressive start. ---

Is Belichick normally this grumpy at press conferences? ---

I didn’t stay up for the press conference, but unless he actually strangled a reporter, then yes, he is normally that grumpy. ---

I had a nice smile after my wife informed me of [Urban Meyer’s latest scandal](https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2021/10/03/video-purportedly-showing-urban-meyer-out-at-bar-goes-viral/). Apparently after the Jags loss in Cincy on Thursday, very good Christian Urban Meyer hung around his old stomping grounds of Ohio and was videoed grinding up on a woman who was not his wife. It’s nice to get yet another reminder of what a hypocritical piece of garbage Urban Meyer is. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > He did make some incredible deep throws which was heartening. I was cringing the first couple throws because I got so used to those being overthrows with Trubisky (or interceptions with Cutler and Grossman). Best stat from yesterday: Bears explosive pass play (20+ yards) percentage last two years: 6% Percentage last two years just Lions games: 7% Yesterday: 22% I’m not expecting any amazing things from the Bears this year. The upcoming schedule is brutal. But I definitely have hope for the future. ---

Well one reporter asked a question , to which Belichick said he didn’t understand ( I assume he thought is was just a very stupid question) , the reporter tried rephrasing it but did choke up and couldn’t manage to say anything coherent, so maybe he has Sith like powers. ---

Looks like the former SeaPigeons got their mojo back yesterday although I am worried about the SF’s easy late touchdown. ---

That missed field goal near the end of the Pats-TB game is one of the most audible clanks I’ve heard in all my years of watching football.
