Sweeps and screens were unlikely produce a lot of yards, but at least running a few of those might have forced Ware and Miller to hesitate a little before sprinting straight at Brady. We here so much about the need for our ends to set the edge. Well if there is absolutely no threat of a play to the outside Denver never even had to consider setting the edge.Agree completely. The coaching from top to bottom was not good this year.
*The defense shut down the Broncos in the 2nd half. Kick the FG's and get the points.
*Broncos edge rushers were blasting off on the Patriots silent count based the predictable head movements of the Center. A TV analyst here in Boston observed that during the game. Patriots sideline made no adjustments with the Center in an attempt to slow the Denver D. I have no doubt the Pats were UNAWARE that was going on. Tip of the cap to the Broncs and their film study. Brady talked about changing the cadence. The Patriots never realized their own Center was telegraphing the hiking of the ball. Brady was also a major part of the problem because he was letting the clock run down so the Denver D knew the play was coming and could fire off the line.
POOR awareness by a QB and staff that should know better.
*Patriots offense was run for no gain or a one yd loss on 1st down and then have Brady look downfield on 2nd and 3rd down. No attempt as screens, sweeps, in cuts to big guys like LaFell, jump balls to tall guys like Chandler. NOPE!! Brady looks down field. Predictable vanilla....and it was eaten up by the Broncs D.
*Started game with a baby poop soft defensive game plan. Yeah yeah....Peyton Manning lacks arm strength so lets defend against the long ball. Let's not pressure him, let's play our DB's 15 yds off the line. Exactly what film study was done of Peyton Manning to create that game plan???
UNREAL!!!!!
