The total yardage numbers from the playoff run are staggering:
498-335
524-290
407-260
We had at least 50% more yardage than the opponent in every game. I wonder if that’s ever happened.
Note his comment about having to play inside and with power. I take that to mean that because of the threat of the run, you can’t kick guys like Flowers inside to rush, you can’t play Wise because he isn’t stout enough and you have to use a third safety rather than a fourth corner in dime. A...
Red Zone efficiency is the difference b/w winning and losing in the NFL (and yesterday was a good example of that). Guys aren't open in the red zone like they are in the other parts of the field so you need to have guys that can catch the ball when covered. Unless the miraculous happens and...
Maybe there is no 10 sack beast here, but there a ton of guys who can get to the QB from a number of different places. This could be reminiscent of the glory years when we had a great pass rush but no dominant pass rusher. Jones, Bequette, Hightower, Spikes, Mayo, Scott, and Ninkovich are all...
Amazing work by NFL Films, even by their standards.
Brady and Wilfork mic'd.
Great stuff with Boley telling the Giants early that Gronk was only a decoy, BB telling the D to make MAnning throw it to Manningham right before the final drive, and BOB telling Brady that they were going to let...
For years the Patriots tendency on 3rd and 2, 3, 4, and 5 has been to empty the backfield and throw some quick hitter right at the sticks. We all know the infamous examples of this strategy failing at the biggest moments. Would love to see them pump fake and go deep with Hernandez if this...
I know these guys are human and certainly entitled to make mistakes, but what was so confusing about the Branch play? His knee was resting on the ground and he got hit. When has losing the ball when your knee is on the ground ever been a fumble? It was like listening to Rodney (All-time...
And all one hears is whining. While beyotching about Brady's "window", nobody is paying attention to the coup that BB just pulled off--he has put the Patriots in the same position that Bill Walsh put the 49ers when he acquired Steve Young and Ron Wolf put the Packers when he drafted Aaron...
I see that Pat Kirwan has us taking him in the 2nd. Haven't heard much about him but looks like an absolute stud. 10 sacks and 25 TFL in 23 games, 4.58 40, 6' 2" 245, but looks much bigger and has a huge wingspan. Anyone know the downside with this kid?
We talked it about all week as the key. And, lo and behold, it was:
Colts: 4 for 4, 4 TDs
Pats: 5 for 6, 3 TDs, 2 FGs, 1 TO.
We got there two more times, but came away with one less total point - the difference in the game. We can't win like this.
This is a point that no talking head has made, but it is the key point, IMO. There is simply no such thing as running up the score in professional sports. In your professional life, you show no mercy to your opponents. "Running up the score" as a concept is meant to preserve the fragile egos of...
We need a package of plays designed to hit the big play against the blitz. It seemed that our only response was to throw it short, which is exactly where the defenders are in a blitz. If the worst thing that can happen when a team blitzes is a 5 yd pass, teams will continue to blitz us to death...
We need to resurrect BM's UM nickname. Amazing the guy can be so skinny and still hit like that. The play on the KO was 95% made by him, with Woods just mopping up.
Robert Ayers is wearing #56 and looking like a stud OLB in this picture. There's no doubt that the Broncos made a great pick at #18. I'm sure the Pats would have taken him at 23. I would not sleep on the Broncos this year. It's a very good sign for them that every talking head mediot is...
Don Banks says its a virtual certainty that they'll take him. This means it has no chance in hell of happening.
