That was the most incredible kick return of ALL TIME!
Awesome!!
Holy shit, Dan Connolly (Patriots right guard) just got a 71-yard kick return to the 4.

“someone tackle me! Someone please tackle me!”
Aww, I wish he could have brought it in for 6.
Reminds me of the days when Mike Vrabel would go in and catch TDs.

It is funny, though, that we’re supposed to have this great offense, and every game is still a nail-biter. Going to be an interesting end to the season now. Or more interesting.

I also love how he was hugging that ball at the start of his return.
The second half begins with a change of clothes for me. Let’s see if this turns out to be my lucky Welker jersey…
Yeah!
Aww, man, Kuhn is messing with my mojo.
Fortunately, Hernandez is playing pretty damn well, especially for a rookie.

That beats the end of the Philadelphia game for “most awesome play of the day” for me. I was laughing the entire way.
Wow. That was a hell of a game.
Figures that the scariest match of the year, so far, would be against a dude making his first NFL start.
Nice to see some resilience in this years pats team. The 2009 model would have folded.
GB played a hell of a game. They did everything right in terms of game-planing. Tough way to end though with Flynn looking like a little kid to the sideline.
Pats were killing themselves with penalties.
Ross must be having kittens. I never thought this regime would be at risk this season, but I’m not so sure now. Would not be the first group to lose betting on the wrong QB.
I have got to give a nod to Matt Flynn, he played a tremendous game. It says a lot about him that he not only played well, but also maintained his composure even after throwing an interception. That last play in the 4th belied his inexperience, he’s a QB to watch. The rest of the team also performed very well.
On the Pats’ end, I was disappointed with how porous the defense was. The New England offense had such a short possession time that I feel like Brady and company never had the opportunity to create a rhythm, at least until 4th quarter. Which is certainly one way to keep Brady off balance!
That Connolly reception is one to remember.

I was traveling across the country and thus was dulled the pain of that Giants loss. My dad told me the bad news on the way home from the airport. “What do you mean we were up 31-10 with 7 minutes left and lost?”
Somehow, I’m still amazed at how the Giants have this ability to instantly switch between being one of the best looking teams in the league and one of the worst.
One thing fans from both teams can probably agree on, I’d love to see the Giants get another shot at the Eagles in the playoffs.

That Connolly return had nothing on Keith Traylor. The soft hands, the hustle, the attempt to hand it off to somebody else please god take the ball from me so I can stop running, the bulk.
My fantasy season comes down to the Bears DST vs Adrien Peterson. I hope that field is like a gravel pit.
Man I do not put that meltdown at the end of the game on him whatsoever. He was trying to call an audible because he wasn’t getting anything from the sidelines, it looked like to me. It was like the coaches were flabbergasted that they did not get the first down and did not have an extra down to spike the ball.
Flynn was awesome and the playcalling for most of the game was awesome. The pick six and the runback by Connolley were the killers, as was Woodson dropping an easy pick that might have been run back for six.
