I actually agree to a certain extent. I won't go as far as claim the shotgun is predictable. It's our bread and butter and what we should be using a majority of the time against most teams. But you have to go with what is working at the time until they find a way to stop it.
My problem has been the adjustments by the coaching staff. It was mentioned in an earlier thread and I'm still wondering why the Pats moved away from the 2 TE formation which was destroying the Saints? The lack of mixing it up or mixing it up and then stopping has been a thorn in our side for the last 3 weeks. 24-7 vs Indy and then they go predictable. Clobbering the Jets and then go predictable. 1st quarter vs the Saints moving the ball well and after Brady throws the int, all of a sudden we feel like it's time to run the 2 minute drill?
Not only could of they reduced the amount of points the the Saints scored, they may have actually scored and dictated the pace of the game. Even with the int.
