Patriots took control with no-huddle attack

FOXBOROUGH — If you blinked you missed Brady-Manning XIII, at least the portion of it when the Patriots’ offense was on the field.

The only thing missing from the New England attack in a 31-21 victory over the Denver Broncos Sunday was a pace car. It must have gotten lost on the way to Gillette Stadium. Brady and the Patriots employed a blistering no-huddle attack for the first three quarters and then held on in the fourth quarter, when Peyton Manning finally got the Broncos’ offense up to speed.

Live in Cleveland and became a Pats fan when Belicheck came there, hope he gets his 4th superbowl win before he retires. Some haters would say that Parcells made Belicheck but in fact it was Belicheck who made Parcells. Parcells only could win with Bill, but Belicheck won several times without Bill the big ego Parcells. Im one of the only few who liked Bill when he was with us, in fact, i like the Pats better than my hometeam.

They looked like they were going to give away yet another game!! They've only been giving away games since 2005 or 2006. You'd think the 'smartest coach in the league' would have fixed that by now.
