nice way to start the season with the win
that went A LOT better than i expected. part of it is Tom-Josh being Tom-Josh...but guys like Dorsett and Patterson really took to their roles and made some damn nice (and very KEY) plays. Gronk was obviously Gronk and James White continues to prove that he's a top 3 (maybe better) pass catching RB in the league. doesn't really matter who is out and who is in, Brady will keep this team competitive. it's amazing to see. OL did tremendous against the Texans and that front.
the defense was A LOT better than i expected. they gave up a lot of rushing yards to Blue and Miller, but i assume part of that was them trying to not over commit to pursuit with how big a threat Watson is. the linebacking corp looks WAY better with Bentley in there. secondary was solid....the Texans really had no wiiiiiiide open receivers running wild. refreshing to see. Gilmore really put the clamps on Hopkins.
all in all, good start to the year. next week is going to be tough facing that defense again. hopefully we can force Bortles into some critical mistakes this time around rather than rely on a road comeback late. better for my heart
