Entertaining or Ugly?

Depending upon your point of view, you could say that the Patriots win over the Redskins was entertaining or just plain ugly. A costly turnover by the Redskins in the red zone with just seconds left in the game led to the Pats 34-27 win.

Gronk set the new record for TD catches in a single season by a tight end, adding 2 more to his total of 15 thus far with 3 games left. Unfortunately, there was no running game to speak of. Woodhead got more carries than Green-Ellis which was odd. We even saw Kevin Faulk for a few plays. Welker & Hernandez had good games as well, although both missed a TD pass during the contest.

Jerrod Mayo caught a deflected ball for an INT to ice the game. Wilfork & Carter had nice games as well. But that secondary, oh that secondary, is butt ugly to watch. The Pats are going nowhere in the playoffs with such a makeshift crew of DB's & safeties. As Steve DeOssie said, everything rests on Tom Brady & his play will decide how far this team goes into January.

We should feel thankful to be 10-3.
