Play from 5:20[5:20]" Yeah I mean certainly score wise they only beat the bills in week three by what 20 something points this time by 46 so yeah I mean -- muscle we had what two or three touchdowns against the -- the first time now he had four. It is amazing maybe the patriots actually have improved and maybe use the bye week as referred from some players. It wasn't like there were 9 team it sounds like coach politic treated them as an all in 19 the way they prepared this week leading up to the bills and you know. We talk about moss and Brady in this offense. Going into the beginning of the season it wasn't like Brady had a lot of time to work with these receivers so you have to figure that week after week after week.
