It's very frustrating to watch this offense turtle when the game gets close in the 4th qtr. I think playcalling is a major reason why. They get conservative.
In the case of the Colts their D is not very big but they are very quick.
So why is Brady throwing into tight coverage to the smurf receivers when he can be elevating his passes to his tall athletic TE'S??
WHY ARE THE TIGHT ENDS BEING IGNORED WHEN THIS TEAM NEEDS TO MOVE THE CHAINS/KEEP POSSESSION/PUT THE GAME AWAY?
How does 6' 6" Gronk have only 1 catch against a smallish Colt D???
The fast and athletic Aaron Hernandez had 1 catch for the game.
Crump had zero catches.
It's scary but in crunch time this team reverts back to its' old and bad habits, i.e not utilizing the weapons it has at TE.
It's crazy how the Patriots limit themselves on offense at times.
Sooner or later it's going to kill this team in a big game. Let's hope today is a good teaching moment and they figure it out.
If the D is packing it in then elevate the passing game with those big tall TE's.
