Cleveland schemed up a genuine BB inspired defense...
double Moss and hit Welker at every opportunity.
It was the best defensive plan we have faced and the Cleveland players bought into the belief that they could win. They had what I would call a Titan's like expectation of success.
To an extent the Crennel approach worked, our top to recieving threats were minimized BUT we killed them with #3 and #4. And our running game was not as potent because we were holding back to save up for the Dallas matchup.
I'll take Brady's bad day with 3 TDs, No INTs, No sacks, 105+ Passer rating any day. Frankly, anyone could see that we have held back all year. We could have easily put another 2 scores on the board in any of our games IMO. But we were especially nice to Crennel. Of course we never really know, but the wednesday injury report seems to point to a healthier team come sunday.
