I think we just saw the reinvention of the team that won 3 Superbowls inside of 4 years. Randy was nothing more than a deep threat that Brady was using as a crutch to draw double coverage so he could hit Wes Welker. If the random pass is incomplete it basically means you are punting on the set of downs.
The championship teams were all about short routes including screen passes that substituted for a real running game. Deion Branch seems to be fitting back into his old slot. Also winning by a field goal made me think back to all of those victories by Adam Vinateri game winning field goals.
The old pats were also about making great half time reads and coming back to dominate the last 30 minutes of the game. I know that it's only one game with Branch, but it felt like the Pats were finally back on track.
