I need to get this off of my chest. I heard a remark today that my thoughts of the game last night was "bittersweet" -- a reference to the blog my mother wrote last year. Outside of the final score there was nothing I didn't like about last night.
I loved how A.J. played. He had a couple of throws that he'd like to have back but he shook off the first interception and was able to make plays all night long. He made the right reads, he was decisive and he executed a great game plan.
Why must people think just because we play the same position that I can't root for him to do well? He is my teammate so I want him to succeed and that's all that matters.
As for the rest of the players and coaches -- I thought they all put their best effort out there. The line protected Ace and gave him time to throw, and the receivers made plays. The mad scientist, Jim Johnson, pulled out all the stops and shut down the high powered Patriots offense.
Last night's game reminded me of the final game of my rookie year. It was against the Rams in the final regular season game before their Super Bowl run. We weren't given much of a chance to win that day either. But Jim, created a plan that shut down the Greatest Show on Turf and we did just enough on offense to win the game. The confidence gained from that performance helped push us to bigger and better things soon after that.
The only thing that I will be critical about last night is that as good as a performance as it was, it will mean nothing if we don't use it to push ourselves to success in the next five weeks.
