I've been pretty critical of McDaniels but not so much for this game
I think the Patriots had a long-term full gameplan that - much like the Colts did against us last year - sought to keep the defense moving and eventually tire them out.
That meant a lot of short routes and taking what the Colts gave them, especially given double coverage on Moss - and over time they wore down and there were deep opportunities.
Expect more of that, not less, in that Moss will be constantly double teamed.
I expect his TD rate will tail off a bit, and Brady might not be averaging 5 TDs a game anymore with Maroney back as well
But I can easilly see Brady keeping a 3 TD a game pace from hereon out - which should see him have more than enough to break Manning's record
