The players on this offense could make any OC in the league look good.

Inconsistant.
Teams know wer are gonna throw everytime and they are adjusting. We need to mix it up more.

I remember when the pats were blowing people out and I recall Morris and maroney having a lot more carries to keep the opposing D honest.

I just don't feel we are not really fooling teams of late. Sure, we can outplay most teams on talent.

There's a large contingent of people in this world who aren't happy if they don't have something to complain about. Sadly, many of them claim to be Patriots fans and look for any flaw, real or imagined, to bleat about.

Maroney...150 + yards

"we need to mix it up more!!!!!"

I think it's that he gets credit for having a great season and gets talked about as a young genius coach when he can get away with a lot of stuff because of the talent on his offense and there isn't anything particularly good about his play calling. Same deal with Billick from his Viking days and Martz from his Rams days. He's probably good at working with the players, though.

It was the same with Weis. People forget how much he was blasted during his time here except for 2004. The OC always get blamed because no one will blame Brady.

I felt it was more Brady's fault in the second half today. He keyed in on Moss too much and tried to force too many plays. He should have surveyed the field more.

Sometimes it is the execution and not the play calling.

100+ on two carries. Balance? Maybe not.

And last year, most OC would have had the offense fall apart. Reche Caldwell couldn't make this team this year and he was our primary WR. Corey Dillon couldn't last into the second half of most games and he was our lead RB.

Tom Brady, not Josh McDaniels.
