The Ugly Ones Still Count

The Patriots, who pretty much sucked all night long, managed to steal a W late against the Packers. 

In a night filled with crazy stuff from the opening kickoff (an onside kick by the Pack), the star of the show was Dan Connolly (above) who ran a squib kick back 74 yards to the Packers 4 yard line.  The Pats punched it in for six 3 plays later. 

Pats rookie Aaron Hernandez had two touchdowns, including the go ahead with a few minutes to go. 

For the Packers, hats off to Matt Flynn, who had all the potential for laying a stink bomb, but was solid all night, save the final minute of the game.  The Packers D caused Tom Brady fits all night.  In the end, though, the Pack was undone by Flynn's inexperience, as they were unable to capitalize from inside the Patriots red zone and time expired. 

I'd like to say that the Pats will need to be better next week to win but let's be honest, Buffalo is just horrible.  The Pats need just one more win in order to seal home field advantage throughout the playoffs.  Just one more W baby!
