Brady throwing into triple coverage to the point of being a joke
no screens, no RB dumpoffs, delays etc.
defense playing vanilla for the most part
oh...almost forgot....A TON OF SCOUTS from Jax, Indy, Pitt, SD and others...they got next to NOTHING to prepare for the post season Patriot game plans.
Some people think we should have emptied the playbook in the 2nd half in a game that was over in the first quarter. Not me. I'll take the 28-7 and wait for the post season to see what BB has devised.
Damn I didn't realize that all of those scouts were at our game. Wow. I'm glad we did go with a vanilla game plan if that's the case.

I'm a little concerned myself admittedly. I think the Pats are the best team in football, but they've seamed to come down a to earth a little bit over the last few weeks. Hey, it's hard to argue with 15-0, and maybe some of our concerns come with winning by 20, instead of by 40, like they were doing at the beginning of the year. One's thing's for sure though, while the results have been the same, the manner with which they get there has shown some signs of being human. 5 weeks ago I never thought they'd loose a game, period. Whereas now, while I think they'll win it all, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. I don't think I'm the only one that feels that way either.
I don't know about that. I think with the weather it's hard to rate the Jets game at all, and we played well against the Steelers which was the week before. Not to mention, the first half of yesterday's game was very well-executed.
You can argue about the Ravens and the Eagles, but I think the Eagles are playing very good football now and as for the Ravens, well, that would be the one game that was just poorly played (except we won) and that was at the end of a long stretch of annoying night games.
Look, it's hard to go 16-0. That's why no one has ever done it. Except usually, those poor performances turn into a loss here and there. This is uncharted territory and I think we are all a little unsure what to think. Let's take a page from the team and take it one week at a time.

since all the running up the score talk came to a head to the point of espn people talking about openly injuring brady, it seems like the pats have made it a point to not cover spreads (cept the pitt game which anthony smith pissed them off for)
They barely won by 10 over the Jets but the offense, special teams and running game all finally started showing up and you are worried based on the Jets game?
It's not like the passing offense is a problem on the team.
Yeah they didn't play perfectly but I really think it is pretty funny to read fans (of this team and other teams) suddenly decide the Patriots are this mega-vulnerable finesse team because they beat two division opponents by only nearly 30 points.
Personally I was encouraged by the Jets game because the other units other than the passing game won which is exactly what we may need in the playoffs if the weather is significantly bad.

Plus, no TEs at all, right?
Excellent point on the scouts! agree with you that it is better to be plain vanilla and get the W.

o please, in this day and age, the NFL doesnt need scouts for opposing teams. thats nonsense. all teams need in todays game is video.

Also, let's not forget that the Jets know us very, very well and probably tried to learn from their awful performance in the first game. And of course, the Great Equalizing Weather front didn't help matters any. I really wish Brady could have gotten one or two TDs that day so the record would be over with by now.
Also, great point about the no TEs. That will definitely negatively impact any offense.

I agree lets go back.. Philadelphia.. mediocre game, Baltimore.. mediocre game, Pitt.. kickass outstanding game.. Jets Mediocre and now the dolphins mediocre game...
The issue here is that they play to the level of competition, not sure why, that will have to be answered by people brighter than I.. do not worry folks, if San Diego or the Colts roll in we will be ready..
This is a tough run, could they play better in some of the games, yes.. but they are 15-0.. this has never been done before. Look at the past couple of weeks, Favre sucked yesterday.. Romo pooped the bed last sunday.. there are down days in the NFL. The pats have it wrapped up.. everybody do a big calm down.

Philly was a mediocre game defensively, but didn't the offense put up something like 400 yards?
