It was a really nice win on Sunday afternoon in the sunlight at Foxboro. It seems like forever since the Patriots had played in the afternoon and after having enjoyed a 1 p.m. start against St. Louis we go back to a primetime 8:15 p.m. start this Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts.
As I said it was a nice win, and that was because the team made offensive adjustments after they had to scrap their original plan of running the ball down the Rams throat.
We start where we always do with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s Patriots Monday chat on with the Big Show on WEEI.
I’ll also give you defensive end Richard Seymour’s Patriots Monday interview with Dale and Holley. Big Sey was an absolute stud on Sunday and looked like a one man wrecking crew.
Were you like me and stunned that the Patriots didn’t ring up John Lynch? Maybe it finally is the end for the hard hitting safety. reports are many teams feel he just can’t run any longer.
Hopefully come Sunday we will see at least LaMont Jordan back in uniform and working out of the backfield, because right now the go-to guy is Kevin Faulk and at this rate they’re gonna burn him out.
