Seriously, if the Pats didn't run on first down, people would be blaming the loss on that the Pats didn't run enough.
NEM has returned.
Thread ignore!
Just a week ago people were welcoming JMcd with open arms ..amazing...
I guess the OP would rather have Peabody & Sherman as the offensive coordinator!This is so simple, I don't know why you people without Wayback machines don't understand it.
Here is more detail on how McDaniels messed up.
PATS 1st and 10 at the AZ 36, handoff to Ridley, gained one yard, Pats settled for a 46 yard field goal..................................
PATS 1st and 10 at the AZ 19, handoff to Ridley for three yards, Pats settled for a 34 yard field goal..................
.PATS 1st and 10 at the Arizona 35, after an incomplete pass on first down, on 2nd and 10 McDaniels called a running play, out of the shotgun, to Woodhead for NO GAIN....Pats settled for a 53 yard field goal....
THESE ARE THREE SITUATION WHERE MCDANIELS CRAPPY PLAY CALLING COST THIS TEAM POTENTIAL TOUCHDOWNS, AND THE WIN....
The Pats strength is their passing game, not the running game, and yet McDaniels went away from strength to use weakness......
And, there are many other situations similar to these.....
Sure, they should have made the field goal at the end to win, but they never would have been in that situation, IMO, had it not been for Mcdaniels piss poor play calling.
This one really hurt. But, it is over. We lost and now I will move on..... This one really hurt.

So the Patriots should pass on every down?
Something tells me that if that were to have happened then you would still be here starting a thread complaining about McDaniels and the play calling - this time wanting the Pats to run the ball more often.
i'm starting to doubt McDaniels.Last season he authored an atrocious offense with the rams, and watching the game yesterday i was highly unimpressed with the play calls especially the stupid danny woodhead draw plays. Have d-coordinators caught on to his tendencies above the norm.Not totally of the McDaniels bandwagon but this bears watching throughout the season.
