yeah...we can't do anything right...why, just look at the four consecutive scoring possessions....Brady moving the ball downfield at will...and then, the dreaded fourth quarter with a 31-3 lead...they run for five yards and Brady throws this pass to Hernandez behind the line after motioning him all over the place and the Colts defender sees it from five yards back of the LOS and runs in and blows it up!!...I LOVE that play...never seen it before...but I LOVE IT!!! why pass downfield at will when you can surprise teams with these backwards negative plays!!! Let's go right back to Hernandez again...THIS time he's got the safety beat 20 yards downfield...the safety runs into him never looking back with his hands up...incomplete....who knew that could have been the play of the game? He makes that catch or gets the call and we weeeee-un by FOURTEEN!!!...of course, if Brady just lines up and calls three running plays there, there is NO TIME left at the end for that last Indy score but what else is new...he already had five yards in the bag....instead they run plays from sets no one has seen before...wonder why?...you'd think there'd be a reason...right?
The secondary played matador D the entire 4th quarter...Mayo blitzed once and nearly murdered Orlavsky...it was there the entire game...they called 4 man rush predominantly and Garcon repeatedly ran the same identical sideline go and got the exact same defensive response....yeah, it looked terrible because it was...that doesn't mean those calls will be used in a COMPETITIVE game...or else they would have been called the entire game and Orlavsky would have thrown for 900 yards.
In my lifetime I've seen games like this maybe a 100 times...the key is to get out of it with a win, do not let it go to overtime and do not LOSE it. They did that. You want to extrapolate this game out into the playoffs go right ahead, if paranoia is your security blanket.
