Its always shoddy playcalling when someone misses an assignment and the play doesnt work. Once they start clicking and scoring in bunches it wont look so shoddy.
The most interesting thing to me is that everyone on the Pats seems willing to take responsibility - the coaching staff, TB, and various players across the board. There's no finger pointing or questioning of anyone else.
Cour course, that's not new. And that's what's good about it. That's the same response we're used to seeing from veteran Patriot teams, from veteran leaders like Rodney and Tedy, Vrabes, and Troy Brown. That bodes well that this team is in fact the heir to those teams, and that the younger generation are learning the same kind of responsible leadership and accountability that has been a hallmark of the BB era.
SB winners are never determined by how well they play in September. How well they deal with adversity, however, has a lot to do with who is ready to make a serious run deep in the playoffs. We'll see how things translate onto the field on Sunday, but there's nothing I've seen so far to suggest that this team won't handle adversity as well as its predecessors.
Well said. Come the end of October and the Jets are falling apart, I am certain fingers will be pointed and all of them will be at sexy rexy.
Oh yes... it's called Karma. the Patriots rarely experience it in a bad way, because they try very hard to take the morale high ground on these issues. Publicly, anyway...
Karma doesn't care so much about you thinking bad thoughts. It's when you act on them or give voice to them that she tends to take notice.....
I hope we see a hungry team come out there against Atlanta. I was to see a successful drive resulting in some points on the very first offensive possession. However, I won't lie to anybody. I worry. Atlanta has a very good pass rush and John Abraham has to be looking at his match-up against Matt Light with fire in his eyes. Hopefully, after this past week, the Patriots come out with a different sort of fire... one in their bellies.

Have Matt Light, Dan Koppen, and the rest of this "bunch of try-hard, injury-prone stiffs" taken responsibility for this sorry excuse of an OL?
Has The Randy Ratio taken responsibility for his inability to beat single coverage deep, or to out-fight anybody for a jump ball?
And has the FO taken responsibility for Chicken Legs, KOC, Terry Wheatley, Alex Smith, Greg Lewis, Kareem Brown, ClintRichardsOldenOhrenBurger, George Bustey, CJack, ROC, Jeremy Mincey, Duane Starks, Bumblin' Bennie, Guss Scott, Dexter Reid, Cedric Effin Cobbs, Bethel Johnson, Dan Klecko, Brock Williams & Kenyatta Jones?

Good point. Todd Light better step up!!
I do believe this week will be a pivotal one for the Patriots in the practices and tape review of the last two games. The team is hungry for a win and I am sure they will be victorious.
