Clearly you didn't watch the game last night. The play-calling on offense is what didn't allow them to get into a rhythm. It was horrid. Look at the routes the receivers were running.. A majority of them were outside the hashmarks. That only HELPS the defense.
One of the greatest things about the 2001-2004 Patriots is that they ran TONS of slants and in cuts. By design, they help the receiver get open instead of relying on the receivers ability run past a defender or to juke the defender on a double move. We're not seeing those. Those were the plays that Hogan got open on with the Bills. Those are the plays that Amendola would get open on. Those are the plays that Edelman get's open on. But they aren't calling them here and it's an issue.
No, I watched the game and you’re right, I don’t disagree with a lot of what you said. However, not getting off the field on defense is impacting both sides.
