Vrabel was using delayed blitzes effectively up the middle which neutralized Brady any time he tried to step up in the pocket. I expect to see some of the same.
Winnable game, but certainly not a cake walk. Pats are going to have to play well in every phase. $&@*, they are going to have to play perfect the next 3 games.
Considering Brady has been one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL against the blitz, that’s what I would expect as well. Lots of Cover-0/Cover-1. Bracket Edelman (who may not even need to be bracketed at this point) and force the ball elsewhere.Yeah, I would blitz the crap out of Brady as well. The Pats are all sort of banged up right now.
Losing yesterday sucks, but if they somehow make it to the AFCCG it won't matter...coming into this past weekends games the hope was to get a bye, beat KC at home, and head to Baltimore...if they go another route, so be it

We got a lot of material to work on yesterday, win or lose.Gilmore couldn't handle Parker - Parker is a nightmare match-up...huge and very physical.
They never adjusted to that. They left Gilmore on an island against one of the very few receivers he'd need help against. Really bad. Really bad.
We're not an explosive offense. But, remember: We can be. Just for four games.Yeah, I think if you take Jules out of the game, the Pats will struggle. I was actually impressed at how well the Pats O played yesterday, given that Jules was a non factor. And yes, being impressed by THAT is what this year has come to.
Gilmore with 3 pick-6s next weekend.

Team. We're all in this together.
2012 Ravens. Despite being 8-2, all their defensive stars were hurt, Flacco was atrocious, and they were overall just putrid. They would go on to three straight losses and four out of the last five games; however at Qualcomm Stadium on November 25, they miraculously took the Chargers into overtime with a field goal by Tucker. The field goal was set up by conversion of a 4th and 29 play where Joe Flacco completed a short pass to Ray Rice and Rice raced 29 yards on the ground for the first down, which would become the 2012 best play of the year (Or worst, that is, for the Patriots). With the surprising 16-13 win, the Ravens moved 9–2, getting revenge for the previous year's loss in San Diego on Sunday Night Football. You know what happened after that.Colts in 06 and both Giants teams looked less than impressive going into the playoffs. Can be done.
Parker made "some" plays?
