There. No more saying that this was a "weak win" or that "this team is destined to fail." You would be wrong.
The tackling today was some of the worst I've seen from this team in the BB era, that needs to improve.
The middle of the field is always wide open when we're in zone.
The offense yet again has an opportunity to ice the game and shoots themselves in the foot.
That said a win is a win, learn from it and move on to Indianapolis.
Not all wins are created equal. This win shows the team still has the same deficiencies that have been detrimental to them winning another title in the last 6 years. It IS discouraging to see such a porous secondary put us on the edge of our seat once again. If you say you feel just as confident about this team's perspectives after this win as you did two Sundays ago against the Rams, you are probably lying to yourself.
It amazes me how many people assume late close games are automatic losses. More often than not this season, the Pats have gotten a clutch play right when they need one.

I do because they have a new cornerback coming aboard and last year they improved quite a bit in the second half, once Talibs here they may start to play better as a unit.
