This win was pretty typical 2011 Patriots game: dominant performances from Brady, Gronkowski and Welker, a slow start for the Patriots offense and a whole bunch of garbage time yards let up by the pass defense. The only thing we were missing was the fourth down Mark Anderson sack.
Here are some things that were different in the Patriots win over the Colts:

Remember when Philadelphia was up 10-0? Eagles fans certainly don’t. As one of my followers on twitter said, Bill probably should have stopped scoring if he wanted his buddy Andy to keep his job. That call to trade draft picks this year might be a little colder.
I’ll have my full post game analysis tomorrow, but here’s my quick hit reaction to the game:
Rob Gronkowski is an owl.

For all the Chiefs fans that complain about Matt Cassel… it could be worse; Tyler Palko proved that.
The Patriots started out slow, as we’ve grown accustomed to lately, but when they come on late, they come on strong.
Here are some quick hit thoughts on tonight’s game:
Fireman Ed had little to cheer for Sunday night.

As our own Mike Loyko said on twitter, I can actually watch football talk shows for the first time in three weeks.
This game against the Jets is what last week’s game should have been: a great defensive performance, key turnovers, no turnovers on offense and the defense coming up big when it matters most.
Here’s some more things I noticed during the game:

I was all set to heap all sorts of praise on the Patriots defense in this one, but if you can’t come up big when it matters the most, then what good was the first three and a half quarters?
I’m not being overdramatic, and I’m not being reactionary, but this team has a good chance of going to 5-4 after next week. The offense can’t bail out the defense and the defense can’t bail out the offense when it matters most.
Here are some of my thoughts on the Giants 24-20 victory over the Patriots:
Not even Jerod Mayo's return could help the Patriots beat the Steelers on Sunday.

“To be the best, you have to beat the best.”
After beating the Patriots 25-17, I think it’s pretty fair to say the Steelers are the best team in the AFC. The Steelers controlled the clock and didn’t allow the Patriots to get anything going on offense all game.
