Again, I feel like Gregory really brought D-MAC down today. Did Wilson play today?? I would've rather had him in than Gregory.

I thought after London that Gronk was all the way back, but now I wonder. Seemed to disappear as a target. ANd ...did Shiancoe play at all?

Watching patriot games is like watching the pro bowl.

He just wasn't targeted much, it happens.

There is no pressure up the middle (Wilfork and Love have been awful) so to keep rushing the same four with no blitz, big linebackers who are dreadful in coverage and what is a poor secondary bar McCourty is just really poor coaching

I recall Wilfork having a sack and a forced fumble. After that he drew double teams the rest of the game. You can make the argument for Love having a bad game, but Wilfork played a fine game.

I have an honest question...after seeing that today, Talib should be plugged in as a starter on D, no question. But where does he go? I know Dennard had a mediocre (at best) game, but I think I'd rather leave him out there to learn. Arrington will never improve from what he is, I think he should be the one going to 3rd CB.

Why do we run a no huddle offense when we're trying to kill the clock? Josh McDaniels seems to have WTF moments every game.

When I coach my 8 to 9 year old flag football team, I emphasize QB pressure leads to bad throws and turnovers. Should I let Mike Patricia know this little nugget of information, because he doesn't seem to. And when we accidentally had our DL get near Fitzpatrick today he looked terrible. You'd think he'd have gotten the message by now.

At the end of the day, this win most likely won us the division so I'll take it. But our D still has a LONG way to go to get past whatever the first team we play in the playoffs is. I shudder to think of AJ Green against our secondary if we don't get a first round bye.

Because when we dont run the no huddle we go three and out, everyone was crying for them to keep running what worked for 3 1/2 quarters, it didnt pan out but they could have ran 3 times for probably a loss of yards and eaten more clock.
They got and have gotten burnt with blitzing, they can blitz every down, they'll look worse than they did.

Clutch roughing the passer penalty he should know better. Same with Mayo and hitting a player who was out of bounds.

I'll believe this when he does something about it - call someone out, fire someone, cut someone, something.....anything besides his normal "we did some good, some not so good.....we still have work to do".....yada, yada, yada
