Rob Gronkowski cheap moncler jackets and Wes Welker are unstoppable: Brady might not have the amount of weapons that Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees have at their disposal, but he has two of the best in Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski. They combined for 13 receptions, 246 yards and all three touchdowns. Gronkowski set a career high with 160 yards – which was one off the single game franchise TE record (Ben Coates).
When the offense get going, its hard to stop: After going three-and-out to end the first quarter, the Patriots went on drives of 72, 75, 80 and 80 yards. This defense was a good challenge for them because even without S LaRon Landry, the Redskins do a lot of things in pressure and coverages that have given the Patriots problems. Good practice.
Getting healthier on defense: LB Dane Fletcher was back after missing six straight games and he was tied for second with seven tackles has he flew around the field. The Patriots have to hope that S Patrick Chung and LB Brandon Spikes, who should be coming back soon, can play as well right away.
THREE THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT
Defense: After a good start – hello Andre Carter’s strip sack/Vince Wilfork recovery for a TD – the Patriots allowed drives of 75, 84, 49, 71, 72 and 44 yards before finishing with a 71 yarder that ended on Jerod Mayo’s interception. This was a subpar offensive line and quarterback that that racked up 463 total yards, 25 first downs and convert 50 percent of their third downs moncler jackets.
Run defense:RB Roy Helu and Evan Royster rushed 33 times for 170 yards (5.2 average). The Patriots are normally better than that. Hopefully it was just an off day because they get the ultimate run challenge on Saturday with the Broncos.
Brady’s frustration:
The dustup between the QB and offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien doesn’t mean much in the big picture, but that Brady is obviously frustrated about something is a little troubling. Maybe it was his red zone performance because after throwing a TD to Gronkowski, Brady didn’t complete a pass on his next six red zone dropbacks.
THREE STARS
TE Rob Gronkowski: The Redskins looked like they didn’t even want to attempt to tackle him – we don’t blame them – as he ran through them for 160 yards. He also set the NFL single season TD mark for a TE. Mazel Gronk.
QB Tom Brady: He kept the offense revving against a troublesome defense

The lawmakers pressed the Pentagon for “full cooperation and transparency” in the investigation and said they would examine the military’s “practices in handling remains at all facilities since January 2002.” Legislative officials said that would include Arlington National Cemetery and other military cemeteries as well as Dover Air Force Base, the main entry point for the nation’s war dead.
“The Tomb of the Unknown is one of our nation’s most hallowed places, guarded around the clock — regardless of weather — every day of the year,” Issa and Cummings said in a joint statement. “We owe this spirit of reverence not only to the unknown service members entombed at Arlington, but to all those who wear the uniform to protect and defend our freedom.”
The House Oversight Committee opened its investigation last month after reports of “gross mismanagement” and missing body parts at the Dover mortuary. Since then, the panel has made clear that it would also examine the mortuary’s past practice of dumping incinerated remains in a Virginia landfill, as well as lingering problems at Arlington cemetery.

The lawmakers’ concerns contrasted with statements Thursday from the Pentagon, where officials said they were confident in the Air Force’s handling of fallen service members despite several embarrassing disclosures in the past month.
Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta supports the Air Force’s handling of the the scandals, spokesmen from the Pentagon said. Panetta also agrees with the Air Force’s decision not to notify relatives of the 274 fallen service members whose body fragments were incinerated and secretly dumped in the landfill, Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters.
“The secretary is comfortable with the way the Air Force has handled this,” Kirby told reporters at a news conference.
Kirby said there were “real constraints” that restrict the Air Force from notifying relatives of the dead troops. Air Force officials said each of the families signed forms stipulating that they did not wish to be notified if additional remains were subsequently recovered or identified.
The forms authorized the military to dispose of those remains in an “appropriate manner.” The families were not told that the remains would be cremated, incinerated and dumped in a landfill.
Lt. Gen. Darrell D. Jones, the Air Force’s deputy chief of staff for personnel, said the military wanted to spare relatives additional anguish. “To open up that wound, that would be cruel.”
He said the Air Force would confirm for family members whether their loved one’s partial remains were put in the landfill if they came forward and requested the information.
Last month, Panetta ordered a review of operations at the Dover mortuary after investigations by the Air Force inspector general and the Office of Special Counsel, a federal agency that handles whistleblower complaints, documented cases of missing body parts and other problems.
Panetta “is committed obviously to the principle that our fallen heroes and their families deserve the very best in how they are treated,” said George Little, the Pentagon press secretary. “The secretary feels that the Air Force has been forthcoming with information related to Dover.”
Joe Davis, the national spokesman for Veterans of Foreign Wars, said the latest reports suggest the military hasn’t been transparent enough. By contrast, he argued,Moncler women jackets,moncler for women,jackets for women, 2011 cheap moncler jackets for women. the Defense Department was relatively forthcoming about problems at Arlington National Cemetery after initial reports that remains had been mishandled there .
