Its you, not I , that has the problem. I was correct about the game plan, not you. You stated that the running game made the difference, anbd it did, to a point, but it was the PASSING game, on play action and inside routes that made the difference and allowed the running game to be solid, in the second half.
Here's a post by BelichikFan that proves it.
First half :
Maroney and Dillon combined for 14-52, averaging 3.7 yards per carry.
Second half :
Maroney and Dillon combined for 18-140, averaging 7.8 yards per carry.
That's right, boys and girls, 140 yards rushing in the second half.
EXACTLY, as soon as Brady began hitting the inside receivers, in the 2nd half, it forced Cinci out of the box and opened up the game for Dillon and Maroney.
We have a team that needs to show opponents that we have the capability of moving the ball through the air FIRST, and it opens up the entire offensive possibilities for us.
So, as usual, its you that is wrong, not me. The ruinning game was great, and mostly in the second half, but it was the passing game that allowed it to be great, because once Brady began throwing inside, and on many occasions, FINALLY, used PLAY ACTION, it allowed the line to open the gaps for the running game to be effective....
You just have a personal problem with me that gets in your way of seeing the facts...and, you probably really dont know much about the game ...itself, just what you think you see when, in fact, what you see and what you understand are two different things, completely.
There is much more to a game than just the numbers.... things work because they are set up to work by something that is totally different....such as our running game yesterday.....once they saw we could hit the inside receivers, they got out of the 8 man box...... and this is how we need to approach all games from here on in. Finally, McDaniels, or Belilchick, saw it, implemented it in the 2nd half, and we all saw the results, except you, of course,
Have a nice day.
