but towards the end sammy and hten BJ started getting the carries....did anyone notice anything?
After his TD, he was running a bit funny. I hope he is ok.

Think he got yanked after that fumble.
I think he's fine...they just ditched the running game for the most part after that .
I mean Brady and all of the skill position players got pulled with 5mins to go...
Instead of not establishing the run, our new offense is to establish the run, then immediately go to 5 wides, even though we only have two WRs.
I'm sure those desperate heaves into triple coverage will start to work soon.
Agreed. I thought the run game was there tonight, and as usual, we started passing everywhere.
You can run it when you're down by 14 and have a lot of time left.
It was obviously Maroneys fumble that took him out of the game. Pats didnt want to risk him fumbling again.
You cant really run the ball when your down by 14 and playing catch up...

When we were down by 14, we still had plenty of time to have a balanced offense.
Not in the second half we didnt...
Huh???? At the 9:00 mark, we get the kickoff from saints after they went up 14. By the way, thats the 3rd qtr. That, in my book, is not panic time. They could have run the ball all they wanted. Plenty of time left.
NFL Game Center: New England Patriots at New Orleans Saints - 2009 Week 12
Well on that particular drive they ran the ball 3 and thew it 6 and moved the ball into the red zone but didnt get the 4th and 3. Pretty successful drive, the best of the 2nd half besides the TD.
The next time they got the ball was in the 4th quarter and when your down by 2 scores in the 4th you cant really run the ball, you need to score as quickly as possible.

Yeah, it made no sense. I thought Maroney ran his best all season in the 1st quarter, then he just seemed to disappear. I think this has more to do with the score and us being behind and having to pass a lot more. Maroney struggles with picking up LBs when they blitz.
