A Pink Hat and a Tee-Shirt Day

I'll be adding another tee-shirt to my collection.

 

6 straight years of winning their Division for the Pats;

12 of 14 years when they got new tee-shirts and hats.

Seasons of accomplishing what others only tried.

Belichick and Brady fill New Englanders with pride.

Think about the streak of wins the 2 of them are on;

Even now, with stars from older winning seasons gone,

Belichick and Brady keep on adding to their wins...

Like the one from yesterday against Miami's 'phins.

Next week, in New Jersey, they'll be taking on the Jets

Where Division rivalry's as nasty as it gets.

Belichick should focus on just getting out alive.

Keep Tom Brady playing football 'til he's 45.

Thursday Night Football - Whew!

Patriots are 5 and 2.  Last night we beat the Jets

And I can be happy 'cause I'm not someone who bets.

For, although New England won, we didn't win by much.

Luckily the Defense, finally, came through in the clutch.

Didn't cover point spreads, though. We gave up lots of yards.

New York had no trouble getting players past our guards.

Any time they got the ball they marched it up the field...

But they, mostly, settled for the 3 points field goals yield.

Only one thing pains me now; I have to eat my words

Since I've said that Danny Amendola's for the birds.

Last night he did everything and did it very well.

Still, at least I'm not the Jets - whose season's shot to hell.

Patriots are 10 and 4; New England failed to clinch.

Felt as if Gostkowski was a victim of  the Grinch.

Edelman was awesome; Amendola - not too bad...

Even though he dropped the winning catch he should have had.

Hooman was amazing; made a single-handed grab

But, without the Gronk (I'd like to clone him in a lab)

Brady doesn't have a big receiver who won't care

When there's interference that the refs perceive as fair.

Have to play the Ravens next and that'll be a chore.

Hope New England figures out a better way to score.

With so many members of our team not on the field

Our best hope might be next year; once everyone has healed.
