Can we please not turn this into a hater vs homer bashing thread like so many out there?
Branch didn't have a catch yesterday and I only remember him being targeted once on the left sideline. That was after starting out 15/222 in the first two weeks which is a pro bowl pace. I'll rewatch the game off of the DVR to get a better idea later today but with Welker and Gronkowski going off you would think at some point Branch would have gotten off. I'm not sure who from Buffalo was drawing him most of the day but I'm curious to opinions as to if this was a case of a corner from Buffalo just shutting him down or were there no seams in the zone that are normally open to him because of AH missing?
Buffalo seemed to be switching coverage quite often between zone and man so I don't think it's a simple answer.
