What sadly disappointed me in the playoff loss to the Jets was how the Pats abandoned their successful use of personnel to keep defenses off balance that they started in earnest in the Pittsburgh game to kick off the winning streak. In particular, I couldn't understand how BJGE would come in for one play, then immediately leave for Woodhead. As good as Woodhead is, BJGE's presence is the key to keeping the D honest from overplaying the pass. BJGE's face was on a milk carton by the end of that game.
Yesterday the Pats followed a gameplan that was the one I *thought* they were going to use in January: Keep BJGE on the field, run the ball at the Jets to keep the D guessing and allow Brady to capitalize on that uncertainty.
This is two weeks in a row the Pats appear back to doing what worked outstanding during the 2nd half of 2010. I hope they continue this going forward and particularly into the postseason.

Chris
