Seems those kind of plays NEVER get called by the Pats anymore... every time Brady drops back, it's seven steps and looking downfield.

With 340 passing yards its hard to say it was necessarily a poor game plan.
not sure i agree with this correlation.
There are many things that could have been better, but if you eliminate turning the ball over, everything else was good enough to win.
sure. but brady got battered. maybe he doesn't throw those picks if he doesn't spend so much time under that much pressure.
Disagree. I was also wondering why not more quick slants or screens against the blitz. I finally saw a couple in the third quarter.AndyJohnson said:Well, I think the game plan was to pick up and get the ball up the field.

LA Pats Fan said:I think the plan was to try to get the Denver Safeties to back off the line of scrimage. This would have helped the run game as well. In the first half I think the plan was to try to burn Denver deep by picking up the Blitz and making the plays hopefully making Denver drop back.
Belicheck stayed with the plan the first half because the game was estentially tied and want to be able to free the running game.
