Brady was asked just that question on WEEI-FM’s “Dennis and Callahan Show”, on Monday morning, and had a rather odd answer.

The Philadelphia Eagles are flying high after defeating the New England Patriots on the road last week.
The Patriots opened the scoring when White pulled in a four-yard pass in the end zone to cap a 10-play, 80-yard drive three seconds into the second quarter. And Seyi Ajirotutu, while like Austin is probably gone after this year, at least offers some special teams production.
It was New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick who once said that the NFL season doesn’t truly start until after Thanksgiving and that’s when a team should begin playing its best football. Brady connected with Scott Chandler for a 14-yard touchdown while Rashaan Melvin recovered the enduring onside kick.
“Sort of had a chance there at the end”. Fans and media alike have called for Bill Belichick to rest the injury prone tight end until the games really matter in January.
The Eagles now are a bit closer to winning the weirdest division in the NFL. With tough road games looming in Houston and NY and several key injuries at skill positions, wins may be tougher to come by for the Patriots down the stretch. The Patriots were the subject of potential unbeaten-season talk just two weeks ago, but now find themselves as the 3-seed in the AFC playoff race.
“We’d love to have everybody healthy”.
The points and the home team during primetime is very inviting considering just how banged up the Pats are.
Obviously, the Patriots made a series of mistakes that cost them the game, so we dove into each one, but there were also some positives in every phase of the game that were worth highlighting. “So you’re aware of that”. However as Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through hell, keep on going”.
Bradford, who has struggled on third down all season, completed 8-of-11 third-down passes against the Patriots, including two for touchdowns.
But nothing happened. Not until they won a big game, in which case the Eagles went ahead and figured now was the time to cut ties with Miles Austin.
“Everything that people said we can’t do Â- we’ve done before”, safety Jenkins said. “On the interception (at the goal line), that was just a dumb play”. The team gave up two scores because of a lack of success on their special teams, one coming from a punt return touchdown from Darren Sproles as well as a blocked punt return for a touchdown.
In the third quarter, Malcolm Jenkins returned a Brady interception 99 yards for a touchdown to give the Eagles a 21-14 advantage.
The Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night 35-28 falling short of a late comeback.
