I liked the caldwell long bomb, I just don't get why they don't send chad jackson on this with his speed.

I liked the toss runs to maroney and the short passes that have the potential to turn into runs(his td run as a prime example).

Still no screens from my recollection...why?

And maroney got more carries than average due to dillon's temporary absence.

The first half was impressive, the second half was against rodgers.

They better resolve the secondary issue in the offseason and draft a top cd or two. It's ridiculous brown is playing cb.

There was absolutely no pass rush or blitzing on Brady, why would you throw a screen pass. The offense was close to flawless today.

I know it was the now 4-6 and Packers, but being able to dominate like that anytime in the NFL , especially against a team that had won three straight, playing on the frozen tundra of the hallowed ground of Lambeau Field, was pretty impressive.

Just remember a search can be done to find what you wrote last week.

Do the search and I think all you'll see from me is criticisms of the playcalling and a calling out of the receivers to see if they can add consistency to their repetoire.

Those questions both need to be answered over the remainder of the season as the entire offense has been inconsistent all season - though I have a feeling if things still aren't going well in week 16 we'll have plenty of people still calling for us to give Brady and his receivers "more time" to get to know each other

I don't think they had any screens against the jets. A screen today would have been another opportunity to get maroney open in space to make a play.

Although they scored 35 points I thought the pats benefited from two plays early on. The first was the no call on hobbs with jennings for PI. The second was the graham call that set up great field position. Reverse those two calls and the storyline of this game could be dramatically different.
