Every day after the New England Patriots play a game, Tedy Bruschi hosts a chat on ESPNBoston.com. Monday's chat kicked off at 9 a.m. ET, can be recapped here and included some of the following topics:

1. Emotional stability and mental toughness -- other than staying healthy, those are the keys for the Patriots going forward.

2. Projecting matchups for Sunday's game against the Packers.

3. Thoughts on receiver Brandon LaFell and his impact.

4. The catch by Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. -- best he's ever seen.

5. More on the decision to keep Jonas Gray out of the game, and what it means for LeGarrette Blount going forward.

6. Lions center Dominic Raiola and "fake tough guys."
