It's easy, and only takes a few moments.interesting split... 12 pass attempts, 59 rushing attempts... thats what i call balance! LOLLook up the thread title on Youtube, watch how the OC calls this game with an awesome blend of run/pass. We need that philosophy back in Foxboro....
The "OC" was Steve Grogan, both on and off the field.
Whoops... I didn't count, just liked how Grogan goes about his business. Love the physical play.interesting split... 12 pass attempts, 59 rushing attempts... thats what i call balance! LOL
and you think Grogan was making the play calls? or was it Raymond Berry...
This is my favorite non-TBBB game! I still remember how thoroughly entertained I was that night (the bonus was seeing reactions from Boomer Esiason and Chris Collinsworth at a would-be playoff-qualifying party that swiftly turned into a wake).Look up the thread title on Youtube, watch how the OC calls this game with an awesome blend of run/pass.

Thanks for reminding me by posting, I keep telling myself I'm going to rewatch it and never seem to get around to it
Happy Friday!!! Ahh, the magic of screencapping...It's petty to take so much joy in that. Right there with you. Knocked out of the playoffs the previous year by that Pats (and a great 4th down call by Berry), knocked out again by the Pats on MNF.
Imagine, Stanley Morgan and Irving Fryar are your starting WRs.interesting split... 12 pass attempts, 59 rushing attempts... thats what i call balance! LOL

Receivers got routinely mugged at the line and downfield until Polian got the rule change in mid 00s . Look at QB ratings then ( none over 100) and td/int ratio were much worse. You're right the game has changed so it isn't fair to compare eras but boy that the Pats in Grogan era were a nasty running team....Cannot comprehend how a team from the mid 80's can compare on any level to a team of 2020's, the game has changed quite a bit in 36 years...
What I remember about Grogan ( I liked him) was his TD (182) ratio to his Int's (208).. his overall rating was about 70, but this was acceptable in the 80's but not so much now, no matter how much firepower the Pats have.. Grogan also had a penchant for throwing an int. at the most inopportune time.
It is folly to try to compare teams from 1986 to teams of today as the game is completely different....
Grogan was not considered a good QB back then. I mean, he not only lost his job to Eason, but before that he lost his job to Matt Cavanaugh.Cannot comprehend how a team from the mid 80's can compare on any level to a team of 2020's, the game has changed quite a bit in 36 years...

The Patriots never again had such a talented combo.
