Take a look at the defense. It has taken drastically different styles and looks, which are indicative of the style of the OC's. Romeo's D has looked a lot different from Mangini's or Pees' defense.
Belichick gives his coordinators lots of leeway, he does not micromanage in general.
Josh McDaniels has no idea how to exploit weaknesses or self-scout his own tendencies.
Every game the past few games, by the second half my friends and I can guess most of the play calls and where the ball is going on offense.
McDaniels calls plays like he's playing a Madden game, he goes with the same 5 plays he picked from the beginning, over and over and over.
Now just imagine if you were an opposing coach and you picked up on these tendencies, and you then coached your team around these tendencies for the upcoming game. And then in a big moment in a huge game, BAM it's different, completely bucks the trend and your team is caught so off guard it's embarassing.
I just went through that game link you posted Mo, and it proves spacecrime's point.
The Giants were teeing off on pass rush all day because of our non-existent adjustments.
Instead of running more screens, the moron OC kept calling more shotgun formations. Meaning, instead of using certain runs or screens to defeat a pass rush, he stubbornly insisted on throwing the ball vertically and put his QB in shotgun more, in hopes it would buy more time. Unfortunately, Brady just kept getting pounded from shotgun.
Look at page 9 and 10 of that link you posted. Almost all pass plays, almost all directed at receivers.
the Pats' season will still be dictated by their performance in the next 4.
Your no screen argument has been debunked over and over,
You obviously did not read the link/doc that Mo posted.
Look at the listing of every single play called, it's right there, you can take your hands away from your eyes now.
Not one throw to an RB in the entire 4th quarter.
The 4th quarter was mostly shotgun and passes to our wide outs.
The OC had no clue how to diffuse a pass rush, other than to use more shotgun which is insane.
It is as insane as only throwing deep one time all game against a horrible Colts secondary made up of players lucky to even be in the league.
It has been debunked over and over? I haven't seen it debunked once. How many screens did they run in the second half against the Giants?Your no screen argument has been debunked over and over, yet you continue with it. Did McDaniels sleep with your wife or something?
Get back to me when you learn enough football to realize that there is such a thing as a wide receiver screen.
Or that you can throw screens out of the shotgun...Or that KFaulk is a RB who caught 2 short passes from Brady as part of the 12 play 4th Qtr. TD drive...

I think McDaniels is an excellent game planner who consistently makes some poor decisions on game day. I think having TB has bailed him out of that a lot but this year we are seeing some of those weaknesses exposed. I would not say he is a terrible OC but he is not a good one either. He is an average or so OC.
