This is like ground hog day all over again. The Pats go into the playoffs with an offense that has been steadily declining over the last month of the season and is now pretty much stopped in its tracks. Other than one good half against Miami, the offense has struggled consistently. I have no idea what has unravelled.
Any ideas what the Pats can do going forward:
1) Practice gaining more than 1 yard on a 2nd & 2 or 3rd & 2 running play?
2) Go full 2001 dink and dunk and try to win 13 to 10 in the playoffs?
3) Go full Flacco? Just have Brady close his eyes and heave it deep on every series, hoping to connect 3 or 4 times per game?
4) Switch to the wildcat offense?
5) Run nothing but trick plays?
Beats me. Belichick and McDaniels need to go into their secret lair and mix up some kind of offensive potion. The defense is stout, but the Pats aren't going far without scoring some TDs.
What's the solution?
