Hate our first down play calling in the red zone

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Just terrible execution.

I wonder if Brady's still got some of that 2006 Urlacher-juking magic

 

[Joey007]

Not sure I've been optimistic. I've been trying to pump the brakes on the overreactions.

Run d was an issue on one drive and we played 335 nickel which is a terrible run d scheme.

It looked great on the first couple drives

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Just win the game

alternately laughing/closing my eyes as Brady tries to make magic happen

No wheels left at all at 40!! Not that he had a lot to begin with....but I used to love when he rambled 10-15 yds into the zone back then....GOAT!!

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'd rather see Lewis running between the tackles than White.

No question

 

[Pats1989]

Yeah...I had to be a debbie downer....but that stop by TB could be a turning point.

 

[Crononaut]

Frustrating to be in red zone twice and come away with FGs but encouraging we're basically moving it at will when not getting in our own way.

Even with those run gashes the defense looks much improved so far tonight.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I feel like we should be up by two TDs. Tampa will take that

 

[moejr]

We really needed a TD there.

 

[Ring 6]

Time for d to seal the half

I hope NOT. Get down, get down, please get down !

 

[luuked]

Horrible call on first down. OK with a run, but why not Lewis

It was a good call. You want to keep running to make Tampa burn their TOs. The biggest issue with the entire sequence was not playcalling but White going out of bounds on second down.

 

[Pats1989]

So far the defense has played considerably better than the offense but whatever.

Well they just gave up a TD on 3rd and 20...but ok....

They didn't play 335 on the first couple drives

 

[RobertWeathers]

Just win the game

No kidding.

Style points count for nothing

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Defense has played well but this offense will be the main culprit if we lose this game.

 

[Pats1989]

Why did White go out of bounds on 2nd down...not smart...
