Here is my take ...
- I hate the idea of trying to go 19-0. The pressure of winning every game....every play is so overwhelming that later in the season it's just to much. It's not a game anymore...the stress from that is just so overwhelming for the players...it prevents them from being the best they can be. We lost a game...it's not a big deal...and I'm happy to get that one out of the way. I'd rather go 16-3 and win the super bowl then attempt 19-0 and only to see us fail in the playoffs.
- Their is very little the defense needs to change for the rest of the regular season. Jackson is a highly unique player...their is no need to change the defense because of a player we may not face again this season.
- And if we do see Jackson again in the playoffs...we'll know to play 4-something instead of starting with a 3-4...which i hated from the 1st play. I don't care if it ends up being a 4-2, 4-3 or 4-4....got to have a 4 man front and re-evaluate how to play gaps against the Ravens. Jackson's weakness is throwing 20+ yards IMO. Make him throw to the secondary 35+ times a game and we'll have very different results.
- IMO Brady and Sanu would not have had the opportunity to mesh like they did if the game went another way. That is a very big win...I only wish we got Sanu a few years earlier.
