They couldn't touch Eli in 2007 or 2011 and that will be the case if they make it in 2014. Even if Chandler comes back 100% is it enough to get over the hump? How many more years is there going to be a sub par pass rush at key times?
It's all well and good getting to crap QB's like Geno and EJ Manuel but our pass rush doesn't work against the ones with pocket presence, mobility and awareness.
When it mattered most Brady needed just a bit more time (just like in the 2 SB losses) but they got to him and when we needed to get to Rodgers on that completion to Cobb, surprise, surprise we COULDN'T.
That pressure Seattle put on Peyton was LETHAL and it is pretty much how you beat an elite QB in a SB and that's what the Pats should be aiming for.
