Offense/Defense/ everything.
Wow. Eye opening.
That offense was freaking terrible.
The best way to describe that team, IMHO, is front runners. They played very well with the lead and when things were coming up roses for them. Games against the Falcons, Baltimore, the second Jets game, etc showed this.
However, when met with the slightest adversity, they caved. Denver, Indy, at Miami, etc.
Another thing that really gets me about that team is how they didn't listen to what BB said. Faulk earlier this year had a comment, something like, "At some point these guys will learn that when Bill says something is going to happen in a game, it happens." You can see it in that show too. He goes over what to take away from the Jets and then no one does what he says as it unfolds in front of them. I think any parent or anyone who works with kids/teenagers can empathize with this. You try to prepare them but they act like they know better and then look at what happens. You were right and it is so frustrating.
I still remember him mumbling to Brady "I just can't get them to play the way they need to play." It looks like he spent the next two years cleaning out everyone who couldn't play the way that was needed, even if the moves looked bewildering at the time.
17 of 22 starters will be different from that Ravens 2009 playoff game (though one is Wes). Brady, Mankins, Light, Wilfork, Mayo are holdovers.I find it amazing that the defense this year is entirely different than 2009... just 2 years ago.

I'm disgusted watching the highlights of that last game. That team had no heart.
Belichick knew it. Brady knew it.
