McCourty is solid today, Gregory though......

I agree, the playcall was horrendous. The game should've never come down to the fact that "oh we let them keep 40 seconds on the clock by quicksnapping it" though. If the defense has a bad performance, and the offense has the ball for more than 25 minutes, we win this one going away. But no, they were horrendous and almost cost the team the game. When the most you can complain about the offense is that they kicked a field goal instead of a touchdown after a 60-yard drive, you can probably see in which side of the ball the fault really lies.

The quick snap was a really stupid call, and it almost cost the team the game.

Welker had 2 drops on 11 targets. Of those 11, 6 were catches and 3 weren't catchable. Do yourself a favor and use facts instead of making things up..

Edelman did absolutely nothing, Branch had an okay day, and 2 of Welkers drops were HUGE and catchable.

Seemed pretty important today.

There were two plays that stood out where Dennard and someone else missed a tackle that had Gregory taken the right angle he would have been there to clean up.

Honestly Gregory is the Monty Biesel of this secondary. High motor and always in the wrong spot.

Him and Arrington got ran over, Dennard got beat a bit today as well. I think Dennard will be okay once Talib's in. Just keep Arrington and Gregory off the field, and we'll be okay.

Gregory sucks so bad that he's the one that first hit Jackson so McCourty could strip the ball on the 1 yard line. Gregory got juked out of his shorts by Spiller on one play. I can't fault the guy for that.

If you don't know that Wilson played today, then how can you say that Gregory brought D-Mac down?

Yes, Wilson played. I saw him out there for numerous plays.. He wear's the number 27 so you can look for him from now on..

Shiancoe played early in the game on the Multi-TE sets. He wore #80 from what I saw. Only was in there for blocking...
