Thumbs down 25 missed tackles on Sunday vs Bills

Patriots roll up 25 missed tackles vs. Bills

Quote:
How bad was it? They missed 25 total tackles and allowed 159 yards after contact.

In reviewing every Bills offensive play from Sunday's 37-31 Patriots win, the missed tackles and poor fundamentals showed up at every level of the defense.

Defensive end Rob Ninkovich and safety Devin McCourty led the way with four missed tackles apiece.

Corner Alfonzo Dennard and safety Steve Gregory had three each.

Linebackers Brandon Spikes, Dont'a Hightower and Jerod Mayo had two each. Defensive lineman Vince Wilfork had two. And nickel corner Marquice Cole and defensive tackle Jermaine Cunningham had one each.
The total doesn't surprise me, because it was clearly bad. Also doesn't surprise me that the primary culprits were in the secondary.

Umm...would you be surprised that the primary culprits were the front seven?

4+2+2+2+2+1=13 .: 52% of missed tackles by front seven.

How about Spikes? Generally speaking, he brings his man down (and the poor fellow usually is painfully aware of it )

You'll have to be more specific ... 25 missed tackles on which play?

Anomoly. The Patriots were one of the best tackling teams in the NFL through 8 games. Bad day plus Spiller and Jackson.

It has a lot to do with the subpar performance than the talent. We were clearly not getting up for the Bills.

Will be very interesting to gauge the temperature of this team when Houston and SF come to town.

I'm also very interested in seeing how Talib's presence will change the scheme of the front 7. My expectation (and hope) is that they put Talib in man and this allows for schemes with more gamble (e.g. mulitple blitzes).

I think it was a fluke. They are usually very good at wrapping up the runner...not last sunday. Should change on sunday
