Well that was not how I expected the game out of the bye week to turn out.

Our offense really needs work. I thought that we had finally started getting things together in the second half of the Baltimore game before a couple of turnovers killed the comeback attempt, but nope, back to square one. Our line still sucks, receivers still can't run routes properly, and Brady can't accurately throw a pass past fifteen yards. Most of all we kept killing ourselves with penalties and negative plays as soon as a drive looked like it had something going.

I suppose the bright side is the defense played fantastic barring the first drive of the game, and really rebounded well. I think it's reasonable to say that the Baltimore game was probably the result of being unfamiliar with a player they hadn't gone up against before, on the road against a team off its bye week. Hopefully we can keep this up and force any potential rematch to take place at Gillette.

Speaking of which, I think the worst of this gauntlet is behind us. Next three games are all against good teams, but two are at home and we should have Isaiah Wynn back starting next week...so Brady can maybe have more than two seconds to throw a pass on any given play.
