tonight on Comcast Sportsnet - said BB tried it back in the Buffalo game, and again this afternoon, trying to see what he has and get the players familiar with playing it....said theres too much mixing of guys in and out, guys cant get familiar with and trust each other....also McCourty cannot play man coverage...

Brown and Law said Pats will NEED to play man to man defense to win a championship...

That can't play man D? No way Troy Brown, thank you captain obvious.

TriplecHamp

stunning revelation, they've been getting beat in man all year long.

It is that poor talent issue that keeps lurking in the background. I think Devin Mccourty is too short to be a shutdown corner.

So how do they fix this?

That's the conundrum with rooting for the pats. YOu root for them, but you know they can never win it all. Well you hope that somehow they can, but realistically it doesn't seem likely no matter what their record ends up being. I just hope it's not one and done for the third year in a row.

So being 3/4 of an inch shorter than Revis is the difference?

Its that extra inch that makes Revis so dominant. Not his physicality, confidence, speed and awareness but rather that extra inch.

Even if they make it to the SB...they aren't even coming close to winning vs GB


But they can't play man which means not good things to come in jan....hopefully they can try it again but who knows...


I think this year they finally snap the 1 and done which is a good thing..but winning 1 to lose the next is not what i want

Some people on here think we were playing prevent defense in the 4th? How delusional can you be? The defense cant make a stop when they need to, and cant get off the field on 3rd downs. They allow 10+ minute drives to Indy, that happens when you have horrid personnel on defense.

You're a blind homer if you defended this defense today. Sorry, it's reality. And no, they didn't gain most of their yards in garbage time, which I've read a lot today. We're damn lucky we recovered that onside kick. Completely folding in the 4th doesnt equal this fictional "garbage time"
