It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If we hold other teams to 15 points, all of them?First, how many games will we win if we score 16 points per game? Is the defense truly expected to make such an offense a winner?
all tbhHow many games would an NFL team win if they got to play against Tua Fish every game?
If we didn't fumble, we'd probably win 13, others more. The early Jones fumble cost a FG. The later Harris fumble cost 4-7 and the game.How many games would an NFL team win if they got to play against Tua Fish every game?
So, the the team continues to be statistically terrible in the red zone, so that's fine?Pats would have scored more if not for some statistically rare fumbles.. So who cares.
Huh? How do you get that..So, the the team continues to be statistically terrible in the red zone, so that's fine?
Accepting a loss because a RB made statistically unlikely fumble is just plain silly, or worse. When a PATRIOT running back makes a statistically unlikely fumble, he is benched. If it at the end of the game, then Bill will have lots for the RB to do during the week.Huh? How do you get that..
Luck plays a factor in sports - so unless you think our running backs are going to fumble in ever attempt in the red zone - we will turn those trips into more points. Stop with the silly pearl clutching..
Is this where people have to explain things like game planning and strategy, opponent talent and styles, and the like? Or can we just consider the obvious as obvious, and say that "it depends on multiple factors"?The defense is just not good enough says so many in this thread.
Say it is the responsibility of the defense.

You can play the “but this never happens!” game forever, but it’s always one sided. What happened to “it is what it is?” Started last hear with “we could have won four more games!” while ignoring all the close wins and only reversing the close losses.
How many times will you get to face a QB this bad? He handed the game over on a silver platter. One of the worst passes in memory given the game situation.
Who said anything about accepting a loss? Huh? What is with the unrelated comments..Accepting a loss because a RB made statistically unlikely fumble is just plain silly, or worse.

Fumbles are simply unacceptable, (as are most penalties). The patriot do not accept
losing 3 points on the Jones fumble
losing 4 points on the Wynn penalty, and losing
losing 3-7 points (and the game) on the Harris fumble
That fumbles are statistically unlikely is NO EXCUSE, none at all.
Yes, we lost the red-zone battle to a good MIA defense, that played better than our offense. We have many who we might want to blame. But it was the three errors noted above that lost us 10-14 points.
