That's why they need to keep trying.

I know. A fifty percent success rate is also a fifty percent failure rate. I hope they can improve.

Not to mention the fact that the defense needs to step up and score more TDs as well.

Didn't they punt once????

Yes they did punt once, but it was after the 7 for 7. Last drive of the game for the Pats, 4th and an ince and Hansen punts it through the endzone.

That counts the times they play with backups or aren't trying at the end.

I bet that in the first half we score TD's on over 70% of our drives.

I asked this question this summer. Going into the season, if you could choose between the two, which would you prefer....

Best Offense of All-Time
Best Defense of All-Time

A vast majority of Pats fans selected defense.

They're batting .500! Just gross.

The Eagles best chance of being competitive is to let the Pats just run the ball. Rush three lineman only and play 8 defensive backs. Let the pats run the ball as much as they want. This way, instead of loosing 56-0, they may only loose 28-0.
