Re: Last nights game...Concerned or Not?
Well, they didn't play well last night, so you have to have some level of concern if you have a commitment/rooting interest to the team.
But, that level of concern has to be heavily tempered by the fact that while they were playing football there were other concerns that playing to be as effective as possible. I can say with certainty that the defenses that were called were based upon many other things (personell groupings, working on techniques, and very likely calling a defense that was played poorly over and over until it was done right, etc) than what had the best chance to stop the Rams.
Sure it would be great to play vanilla defense and dominate, but it is also isnt necessary. I am OK with a Bill Belichick team that needs good gameplanning to play well.
IMO, there were as many answers as questions last night.
-Welker is 100%
-Brady is 100%
-Brace is a beast
-The OL is cohesive in pass blocking....there wasnt enough running last night to judge the run blocking
-We have more and better weapons in the passing game than ever
-There is a lot of athletic ability, youth, speed and talent on the defensive side of the ball for BB to game plan with.
-Brady in the condition he is in with these weapons could win 12 games with anyones defense.
