It's easy, and only takes a few moments.our off gameplan was okay. we had 3 possesions and scored 17 points in the first half.i actually like the fact that we dont follow the media and expert theory that we need to run the ball X times. Had we run the ball and got stuff on 1st and 2nd down we would be up in arms about not throwing the ball. i think all the fault for this game lies with the D.Belichick terribly outcoached tonight. Cannot believe we came out with that junk offense like we were behind 21-0. No tight end? No Maroney? I guess McDaniel didn't know how good we are on play-action. Took that completely out of the game because of our formations. That's a game plan I would expect from Norv Turner.
As for the defense. We are not an all out blitzing team. I don't mind sending 5. But, anything more and we don't have the speed in the secondary to compensate. Did you see our blitz on their td that made it 21-17? We rushed 5 or 6. Then two players lined up at ilb..I think Rodney was one and not sure about the other. Started to creep towards line of scrimmage like they were in a delayed blitz. Instead of dropping into coverage and make Feeley's throw more difficult.

Only time will tell.I shudder to think about it.
1) The onside kick was inexcusable. Not only should any team expect that to happen at any time, but the Pats should CERTAINLY expect a team to try and steal a possession from their offense. Forget the humble pie, here is a boot up your arse (including ST coaches) for that one.
No way. THe difference is in 2002 we didn't have the talent on that roster that we do now. In fact it's not even close....on both sides of the ball.
