Well it wasn’t pretty but a win is a win, especially against a quality AFC opponent.  The offense was clutch when they needed to ice the game, you can’t say enough about that.  They held up their end of the bargain. The defense sure looked like it looked last year in the good ways (turnovers) and the bad ways (zero pressure, completion after completion). And the third down defense was epically bad, statistically worse than any game last year. But a win is a win.

Jim Rome on Tom Brady

I like what Rome is saying, but it always annoys me when the pundits think suddenly this is the year the Patriots really mean business. It may not seem like it to some but they ALWAYS mean business. And if the season Brady put up in 2010 wasn’t a “middle finger” season I shutter at the thought of what’s to come.

He just does what he does which is preparing with an insane short term focus and taking it one game at a time. I truly don’t believe any thing like the hype Aaron Rodgers and Packers are getting have anything to do Brady or how he prepares.
