“I think the team, as a whole, played a very good game”, Garoppolo said before describing himself as, “amped up, I was sacked up before the game”.

Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians exhausted all his time outs with just under five minutes left in the game, playing the last five minutes like the last two minutes and being overzealous in making sure Carson Palmer had enough time to get at least a field goal attempt off.
Bilichick said that he made some good plays though not ideal, he made a lot of good plays. For us to go in there and get a win like that, it was great for obviously our offensive football team, the defense played great, special teams; it’s such a team sport.
Jimmy Garappolo, a third-year pro in his first start, completed 24 of 33 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. If Jimmy Garoppolo continues to complete 72 percent of his passes in Brady’s absence, that’s nearly certainly true.
“You know, I don’t talk about the future”, Fitzgerald said.
Though it must have been an odd feeling for Brady – usually when he’s watching football on his couch, it’s during a Patriots bye week – he told Gray that it was “a great game to watch”. “He’s just the most disciplined, hard-working guy and that’s why we have a team that goes out and tries to do the same”.
On WEEI, Garoppolo claimed he didn’t know that Brady’s posters at Gillette Stadium had been taken down as Sunday night’s game began.
“For us to go in there and get a win like that, it was great for, obviously, our offensive football team”.

If the Patriots had lost the game, it would have been more on the defense than Garoppolo.

Although losing at home to a Pats team that was ripe for the picking was far from an ideal start to the season for Arizona, it still boasts one of the NFL’s deepest and most talented rosters.
The New Orleans defense has been bad for the last handful of seasons and losing it’s best player in the secondary will certainly not help.
Johnson made fun saying that he thought he was going to take it to the house. The Patriots are projected to have one of the more formidable defensive units, and it held up nicely against long ball.
“It’s a tough environment to play in”, Brady said.
“I mean, I’m really, really concerned about the story line”. I am just happy for everyone in here, and Jimmy. Despite the pressure, Jimmy maintained his composure during his first start for the patriots.
This was pretty much a mess all night long.

Perhaps when his coaching career is over, Belichick will drop his contempt for the media and offer some real insight into how he does it. Like, there’s really nothing higher on my list than the story line tomorrow. “Just didn’t get it done, and a lot of reasons why we didn’t get it done”. I’ve waited all my life for this. “So this game falls on me, and I hate it”.
