The New England Patriots - An Ugly Win is Still a Win

Even though the Patriots hung on to beat the Bills

I'm afraid my heart can't take these kind of late game thrills.

If you didn't care who won I'm sure the game was great.

When you like New England though, these are the kind you hate.

Our Defense is 29th - that's out of 32.

Bills are not the first team to come back; there've been a few.

Thank gods for McCourty and Fitzpatrick's awful throw...

Up until the end he put on an impressive show.

Brady's looking sharp again; he's also looking mad.

Screaming at poor Edelman when he did something bad.

Maybe he should take his temper out on Safeties first.

Don't know why they cannot stop deep passes.  Are they cursed?

What is it the sports gods want? They've got my sweat and tears.

I guess we appeased them with the volume of our cheers;

Bills did not come back to win despite how hard they tried...

Late game interception proved the gods were on our side.

The New England Patriots - Across the Pond

Wembley Stadium in London plays host to football on Sunday... The kind with the ball that has pointy ends and where the players don't use their feet

The New England Patriots have flown across the pond,

And I'm worried for this team (of which I'm rather fond).

They have not played very well against the NFC;

Struggling this season, with their record 4 and 3.

They've left me exhausted. There's no way I can relax

Knowing that our Safeties and Defensive Cornerbacks

Always seem to let opposing teams exploit a flaw;

Hitting their Receivers deep...  I really miss Ty Law.

So, in foggy London town, we'll play St. Louis' Rams -

And, with both Hernandez and the Gronk on injured gams,

Hope we'll stick to "dink and dunk" and get the ball to Wes.

If you don't have Randy Moss you need to throw deep less.

When, at last, the whistle blows and there's a final score

That's when I will trust a lead we have, though not before.

Hope that London's fans enjoy the game but, as for me,

Wish I felt more certain of New England's victory.
