Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, Bo Hess, and now the end is near.

Mass said his lead takeaway was Brady, and that's obviously first on the list.

But my main takeaway is really just, I thought it was cliche alert.

Team win. I thought there were many, many occasions in that game where Bill Belichick had a chance to go for it on fourth and short, near midfield, key spots. And every time he trusted his defense, and every time his defense came through and got him the ball back. So I think defense was a huge part to that win. Not that they were great for all 60 minutes. They certainly weren't. They gave up more than their share in the first half. But with the game on the line, the money on the table, Bill put his faith in them, and they came through every time. And special teams wasn't huge, except Danny Amandola did return a punt to the 30-yard line. So your final touchdown drive started at the 30, their 30. Pretty big factor right there. And I think the Patriots have definitely picked their spots with punt returns and this sort of thing, and Amandola has, but he picked the right spot to return that one. I mean, right there, you're guaranteed of a field go to tie the game. So just fielding the punt and returning it the way he did, you know, not guaranteed, but you get a reasonable field goal attempt there for the tie.

So I think special teams was a factor.

And just what stands out to me again is how the Patriots don't stop. They just keep going and going and going. And again, another cliche is the 60-minute thing. but these teams that have the Patriots beat

in the high-profile examples again

Seattle in the Super Bowl, Atlanta in the Super Bowl,

even like Pittsburgh. these teams that have the Patriots beat in the high profile examples again

Seattle in the Super Bowl Atlanta in the Super Bowl even like Pittsburgh last month

or if you want to go Houston in the first month of the season these teams have you

beat they have you beat but they can't complete it they can't go 60 minutes they can't

finish and they can't go to the buzzer where the Patriots do. They never stop in all three phases. They don't stop. They don't stop on defense. And certainly Brady in the passing game doesn't stop. And if you want to beat this team, you've got to be prepared and you got to play well and you got to execute and then you've got to finish. and these teams can't finish't do it for 60 minutes who can do it for 60 minutes against this team who who can do it i've been saying it all day philadelphia not just has to prepare to play 60 minutes unlike some of these other teams but doug peterson has to let his team know that your best five minutes have to be the last five minutes or else you're going to lose.

Because if your best five minutes aren't your best, the Pats will beat you.

If you don't execute, if you aren't smart, if you don't make the right decisions, you'll lose because the Pats are going to do all those things with the money on the table at the end of these games. I mean, to me, I told you. I have a hard time getting past the quarterback in this one,

because I think everything you talked about is predicated on having the quarterback.

The only reason you can play those 60 is because he'll somehow pull it out at the end if he give him half a sniff. And it feels rote at this point, but that it is. For me, it's Brady. And specifically how he played in the fourth quarter, and you tweeted out the numbers, Maz, 9 for 14, a buck 38 and two touchdowns with a 136.3 rating. He was ridiculous. And it's without Rob Gruncowski. It's obviously without Julian Edelman. And it's essentially mostly just a Danny Amandola and chucking up some prayers to Brandon Cooks. It's the second best performance I've ever seen from him and the first being the fourth quarter he had against the Seahawks a few years ago in the Super Bowl. I don't know that he's ever done more with less in crunch time like that. And again, you know, it's easy to say Jacksonville and just focus on the name. But they played well yesterday. Jacksonville was good, and they have a good defense. They played well yesterday. They did. And so to pull it out like he did.

What was that stat I saw yesterday?
