Brady on D & C: 'I felt good'

Talking on the Dennis and Callahan Show, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reiterated how much improvement he and the Patriots need following their come-from-behind, 25-24 win over Buffalo on Monday night at Gillette Stadium. "It's early in the year, and I'm glad we won, but we all realize we have a lot of work to do," Brady said. "We have a lot of work ahead." Asked about how he felt making his first appearance since injuring his knee in last season's opener, Brady said, "I felt good, I felt excited, I think the team was prepared, but it's an execution game." The Pats quarterback also said the Bills came out and played a defensive coverage they "hadn't played in years". Check the 'It Is What It Is Blog' for a full transcript of Brady's interview.

Brady talks post-game

Speaking after the Patriots' 25-24, come-from-behind win over the Buffalo Bills, Monday night at Gillette Stadium, Tom Brady talked about throwing the game-winning touchdown pass to Benjamin Watson, saying it was the same play used on the combination's TD pass and catch a few minutes earlier. "I told him it was the best catch I've ever seen him make," Brady said. The Patriots QB also admitted the game showed that his team has a lot of work to do, saying, "We didn't play very well in the first half. We missed some really good opportunities." Also saying, "We've all got to improve. We've got to make better plays." Brady will appear on the Dennis and Callahan Show Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. on WEEI 850. For all the post-game reaction see the 'It Is What It Is Blog'.
