The Cowboys and Romo against NE only put up 21 offensive points with Romo only putting up 199 passing yards, but for some reason I see posters on here crying about NE's defensive performance. Am I missing something here?
This week NE's up 42-7 after the first half, a first half in which NE's defense really only allowed one sustained offensive drive. The second half comes and the Dolphins start moving the ball easier, and eventually put two junk TD's on the board. For those who didn't notice, the Patriots were using backups a lot more during the second half, and they were playing a very soft defensive scheme. The point of using that defensive scheme? Allow the Delphins to move the ball at the cost of eating up clock. Now, the Dolphins did move the ball and the Patriots did miss some tackles on defense, but don't for a second think that was NE's "A game" defense in the second half.
Let us also remember Richard Seymour will be making his way back onto the football field sometime soon.  |
Some people are really not intelligent. That explains most of the perplexing stuff that gets posted around here.
That and a lot of Patriots fans grew up Red Sox fans, too. They have *****ing and moaning in their blood.
