About the game

Sitting in a living room full of people pulling for Carolina, it was a little hard when the game ended. Adam and his friend stalked off to play video games.

It's too bad about the result, but after goofing up on one kick and having another blocked, it was pretty unlikely that Adam Vinatieri would screw up another one.

Will Kasay be the goat? Hard to say but his kickoff surely didn't help matters. And how about Rod "He Hate Me" Smart getting the first and last touch of the game. It's too bad that he never really had a chance to do something right at the end.

All in all, it was a good game. Late in second quarter, I was beginning to wonder if anyone would score. With 3:05 left in the second quarter the Pats finally managed it, the game shifted gears and we wound up with a 14 &mdash 10 halftime score.
