On a personal note, between The Clash and Pearl Jam on the pre-game PA at Gillette Stadium, pretty convinced someone stole my college iPod.

Public Service Announcement. Allow Tom Brady reintroduce himself.
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/5/2014 11:42:39 PM
Brady comes out to Jay-Z, jogs to the end zone with Garoppolo and gets fired up. Big statement game tonight

In 3 games, #Bengals have allowed a total of 3 points in the first half. And #Patriots have allowed opponent to score first in all 4 games
by Erik Frenz via twitter 10/5/2014 11:51:21 PM
They're playing "Baby I Like It Raw"?! Yeah, they definitely stole my college iPod.

#Patriots prediction time ....
by shalise manza young via twitter 10/6/2014 12:00:53 AM
based on warmups, looks like Ryan Wendell is at right guard, Skinner starting at LB

This game has the feel of an AFC Title Game or Super Bowl - even though there will be 11 games left in season when it's over.

Jonathan Kraft says on @985TheSportsHub that about 1/3rd of NFL players will get tested for HGH throughout an entire season. Starts Monday

This is it, huge game. Pats have been hearing how bad they are all week and then ESPN's report this morning of Brady and coaching staff clashing. Something has to give. Make or break game tonight I feel. All on the line

#Patriots already have more yards on this drive than they've had in 1st quarter of past 2 games combined. #Brady

Think 12 heard the criticism for not running for the first down last week?

Gotta cover up the A gaps on fourth and short, #Bengals . Brady's gonna convert that every time

Going for it - and Brady picking up 1st down. Game-changer already. #Patriots
