Welp, if nothing else, New England succeeded in reminding everyone that, yes, Tom Brady is still important. New England wound up being simultaneously far too conservative with Brissett (not letting him throw frequently enough), and trying to get too crazy with the running game. A lot of that is on McDaniels; especially late in the game when you're down by multiple scores, you have to get more creative with passing. Still, I will definitely take 3-1 with Brady coming back next week. Here's hoping he doesn't take as long to get readjusted as he did in 2009.
