What worries me is once the Pats get flustered on offense(against i.e Jets, Giants, Ravens), they never are able to get into a rhythm until the final drive of the game when they are doing the no-huddle. By then its usually too late.
I have actually been quite impressed this year with the team's ability to change up their approach on the fly, making many necessary adjustments throughout.
The early part of the year was a bit of a learning curve, but since then they have been able to pretty much adjust when needed.
I do see your point in some of the specific examples that you pointed out, but I also have seen some good things in their adjustment aspect too.
One thing that is nice is they have the ability to both run and pass this year, and their offense is really more explosive then in years past, however I am somewhat leery of this game vs HOU at the same time. I am not as worried about Baltimore should we play them again, and with DEN my concerns would be with the defense.
If Houston shuts down Welker again, they should be able to still move the ball with the running game and Llyod/Hernandez/Gronk. If the defense holds them to 20 or so, we should be okay.
