Brady throws 4 TD passes in triumphant Bay Area return

Thursday’s game between the two teams has the makings of a Thanksgiving Day classic.

A rainstorm that dumped nearly a half inch between the second and third quarters helped keep Brady and the New England Patriots scoreless for more than 30 minutes and allowed the 49ers to hang around. To be fair, it’s not like the Pats are big rivals. Edelman, also making his return to the Bay area was targeted 17 times on Sunday, numerous deep ball variety. “It’s a pretty great day for me”. Or that he has as many Super Rings as Joe. “I know a couple guys went down in the backfield, and I’ll be praying for those guys”, Rawls said.

The worst part is that for a second, I believed it may actually happen. With 124 yards on the ground, the big back is continuing to have a career year and I can not wait to see what he does next week as big backs are probably the most fun people to watch on the field.

I’m not suggesting New England took San Francisco lightly on Sunday.

On the second, Brady looked left, before feeling the pressure and running right, somehow adjusting his vision to find rookie Malcolm Mitchell streaking down along the numbers for an wonderful 56-yard touchdown.

“It doesn’t get any better than that”, Brady said.

With the importance of the need for the team to control the ball (the more the offense can keep this defense off the field the better), the fact that Blount, who’s been moving the chains (his 46 first downs are tied for 11th in the league this year), appears as fresh in late November as he was at the start of the season in September is key. Kap was making great passes… until he wasn’t.

Carlos Hyde is pulled down by Patriots safety Patrick Chung in the second quarter of an 86-yard performance.

Phil Dawson kicks this 400th career field goal – a 33-yard effort in the first quarter.

Once again, Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers’ offense went into second-half doldrums. Lewis caught three passes for 26 yards, though he also carried the ball five times for 23 more.

If I can get the Dolphins at a touchdown, I might be inclined to take it.

That pattern is one we’ve seen happen to many different teams, usually ones that just lack talent. – Though there was misery for the Packers, it was elation for Washington and QB Kirk Cousins who, after throwing for 375 yards and three touchdowns, greeted GM Scot McCloughan by exclaiming “How do you like me now?!”

Chip Kelly rightfully said the 49ers don’t have the personnel for a pass-oriented comeback, as illustrated throughout this losing streak. He still has 40, as Ryan held him to zero catches on just two targets for the afternoon. Over the past few years, we as fans and the media have made a fairly big deal of how great Brady has looked in the pocket. Yesterday’s come from behind 14-10 win over the Rams is proof that Adam Gase’s philosophy is resonating with the Phins. “I didn’t really think about it being my first game in a year”. Because, ultimately, all of this-our shitty season, our shitty team, our shitty coaching staff, our shitty front office, and our shitty stadium-that’s on him. “Every time he’s out there, I’m easily his No. 1 fan”. Not that he cares even a little. Meanwhile, after the game, he discussed how nice it was for him to connect with some former 49ers players he cheered for as a youngster. That’s one thing they can’t ruin.
