Outchoached....and we choked for the 1st Time
We played not to lose.......horrible play calling in the 2nd half.This team was exhausted,but we should have
run more plays after Indy punted.
No Dillon.....Maroney was invisible.
TBC is whaT I've always said:"just another guy.
Manning erased all talk about not winning the big one......also Dungy outcoached BB......
However,if you look at this game ,the Colts,especially,Manning and Dallas Clark,made plays that champions make,we did not.
Lastly,Recche Caldwell,looked like a deer in the headlights,and on the last drive,he cost us dearly.

Re: Outchoached....and we chocked for the 1st Time
I would fault the playcalling in the third qtr, they were sellling out to stop the run, the Play Action passes would have been perfect, but.....

Re: Outchoached....and we chocked for the 1st Time
I disagree with a lot of what you say, but we were outcoached. However, it was NOT Dungy over Belichick- it was his coordinators over ours. What happened to jamming Clark at the line with Alexander, which worked so well in the first half? What happened to the pass rush during the 2 minute drive at the end of the 1st half, up until the fourth quarter? They let them tie the game up and then they tried to play defense again.
McDaniels. The guy doesn't have what it takes, YET. I think he has a good future, but it takes a lot of experience to be a good play caller. They NEEDED first downs to give the defense rest, and he can't come through.

Chocked?
The offense played plenty well enough to win. And it almost always seems like the team got "outcoached" when it loses. The same coaches the got us a 21-3 lead are the ones you're saying blew the game.
They made plays. They blew us off the line for the whole second half and were making 9 yards a play. We barely forced a third down for the whole second half. There's no coach that can fix that.

No one, IMO deserves to be fired solely as a result of this game.
I think there are definitely players where the Pats could make upgrades, but to say that Caldwell "suxx" because he had one bad game was absurd.
The biggest reason this game was lost? The Pats D couldn't get off the field for a long stretch of time.

Youy play like ***** in the 2nd half and then you can lose your share of games in the NFL. And to blow a lead like they did it goes to the players for letting it slip through their fingers and emerging as losers.
