P.S. Ellis Hobbs is REALLY regressing and did a terrible job today.
Please! That was definitely offensive pass interference on Reggie Wayne when not only Ellis Hobbs had inside position, but Hobbs was also closer to the football. The officiating fix was in all game long, but somehow the Patriots overcame it.

Anybody killing Maroney today is being EXTREMELY short-sighted, in my view. He produced very well when in there. The one negative play that stood out was when freakin' Mankins and Evans whiffed on Bob Sanders spiking through the line and into the backfield. That was a HORRIBLE job by them. How the F do you not account for that guy in that spot????
That ain't on Maroney. Not even close.

No one is complaining about Moroney. I just don't think we used well today. I don't think we gave him plays to accentuate his best qualities. He's an outside threat, who never gets to run outside. He has great accelleration and initial quickness, yet he is rarely given a quick hitter to show that side off. Most of the running plays we ran to day gave the Colts too much time to recover.
Granted we DID rush for over 100 yds...again, but I think we could have done better than that against this team. Much better.
BTW- On that 3rd down play that Maroney failed to get the first down, IMO it was Hockstein who missed the block on Sanders that broke up the play.
11. Is anyone questioning whether Welker is worth a 2nd and 7th yet. His special teams play was OUTSTANDING.
I think the best way to address this is to reverse the question. Would any Pats fans accept a #2 and #7 for Welker?
Anyone willing to trade him for a #1?

Two weeks in a row now that Rashad Baker has played ahead of Meriweather. Looks like "maybe next year" for the rookie.
Anyone else have flashbacks on our 3rd and 3 at the end to last year's AFCCG ? Almost the exact situation on the second to last drive in that game. Then we completed it Welker - new year, new WR, new team, new result.

The fact that Hobbs was one of the many who got F'd by poor officiating today does not exempt him from being called out for a HORRIBLE game otherwise/overall, which IMO he most definitely had. Poor coverage, poor position, poor tackling. He was, in my view, THE worst defender on the field. Thank God for Rodney.

Reche Caldwell probably drops that ball. Wes Welker was also a key factor on three punt returns. Nothing like those "hidden yards" coaches speak about.

Hobbs has not played as well as he did last year. Maybe Randall Gay should start ahead of Hobbs once Eugene Wilson returns to the lineup. The New England Patriots can ill-afford to lose Asante Samuel next season.

Take away the false pass interference issues and Hobbs was just fine as the Patriots starting cornerback today.
