Incredible all game in a three phases.

Game ball goes to special teams though.

Or maybe we should let this guy keep it..

Special teams was definitely special tonight.

Offense was lights out. Tom was great as usual, 8 or 9 different receivers? Hell even Allen got a TD, was psyched to see that. Oh and i giggle every time bennett was in on a play just envisioning all the salt in Wisconsin.

Defense had a few headscratchers but 16 pts allowed is pretty damn good.

Just a total complete team game. Lookks like the boys are really finding their stride now.

I mean they prevented the Colts from hanging up yet another banner by clutching out that game.

Ive watched every game between the pats and donkeys since 1974. Most of the time the pats lost, and if they did win it was a hard faught game. Tonight was the first time i ever saw the pats whip the donkeys like a rented mule. It was nice to see after 40+plus years.

We single handily destroyed the Tebow-era Broncos

What a bye this must have been..

A quick look at to do list:

OL - fixed (even w/o Cannon)
RZ D - improving
covering TEs - improving (two games in a row)

to do:
RZ O

Really looking forward to our rewatch thread to see what the coaches did with the OL to completely dominate the Broncos DL.

Awesome game, great game plan, great execution...thought brady would struggle as he has in the past in denver, but he was lights out...

Media already taking shine off the win saying Denver sucks, Pats were lucky... This from the same media jezebels who were telling us Denver is so hard to play in etc...

I hope someone pets John Elway and Shannon Sharpe on the head and offers them a sugar cube after this crushing loss.

Someone should asked shannon to call the national gaurd cause the broncos were getting killed.

The Pats destroyed them in 2011 in the playoffs and worse in reg season 2008

Yea it is kind of weird the current AFC #1 seed (based on tie break) would see their HC say they are the best in the AFC.
Tomlinson has enough real gems all on his own. No need to add to the list for something nearly every headcoach, except BB, would say if in similar position (unless you'd expect a current #1 seed coach to say "No, the other guys are better than us"?

I wrote this up explaining to a Texans fan how we exploit match ups in our offense, and comparing it to what O'Brien has attempted to do in Houston. It applies to our game plan vs. Denver:

The way that you use the EP flexibility is to manipulate match-ups. Suppose you think a team's LBs are bad in pass-coverage. You go to 21 personnel (RB, FB, TE) to get their team into their base defense (only 4 DBs). Then you spread the field with 4 or 5 wide, often putting the FB lined farthest wide. The other team either puts a LB in the normal outside CB spot, or wastes a CB on your FB. If they choose the former, the entire defense is playing in roles they are not used to. If they chose the latter, you now have your receivers lined up against their LBs. Furthermore, you can figure out if they are in zone even before you put a guy in pre-snap motion. You can rip teams apart in the passing game like this, and you keep going no huddle so they can't get out of base.

Eventually, they might realize they cannot defend the pass in base against 21 personnel. They swap out a LB for a DB, and you pound them in the running game. This is how scrub running backs put up 200 yards against Colts.

To be able to achieve any of that described above, you need smart RBs, WRs, TEs, etc. Every player needs to understand every part of every route concept. The FB needs to know the inside, middle, and outside of the three man. This is why the Patriots value versatility and game-intelligence in their players. Perhaps OB wants to be flexible like this, but he does not have personnel that can do it. The Patriots have moved on from talented players because they could not pick up the concepts.

*(I am talking about EP as the Pats (and sometimes OB) do it. The article linked goes into Pats style EP more. I am not convinced that all teams that use EP actually employ these themes enough. The Steelers' take on EP always seemed a bit more bland to me.)

Incredible write up. Thanks for the education

Did you expect that fool to say anything else? I'll never ever fear that team regardless of the venue! In fact I wouldn't be shocked if Tennessee upsets them on Thursday night!
