I'm not breaking any new ground here, but as I look at the road ahead and also re-investigate previously failed Super Bowl campaigns....here's the not-so surprising conclusion I've uncovered...
The Patriots inability to protect TB against a strong pass rush, as well as it's inability to generate a pass rush and
take opposing QB's out of their comfort zones will be our undoing.....again.
The O-line is what we all know it is....but the defense cannot depend on our secondary to keep people covered for 10 plus seconds while our pass rush "tries" to get to the quarterback. With guys like Rodgers and Wilson...this will not work.
Also...offenses will just ignore Revis and Browner and pick at Ryan (who is horrific IMO) and Chung.
Much of this reminds me of the 2007 campaign...where as perfect as the regular season was...we saw the glaring weaknesses we had and hoped our high powered offense could overcome them.
