Make that whole game. Gave up a TD (again blown coverage), whiffed on a game ending pick, blew the coverage on Tyree and then basically stood and watched Rodney grappling with him...
And yet the kneejerks (yes we had them back then, too) all wanted to blame the RCB who did his job all game long until he was hung out to dry or the QB who was beat to **** but still managed to stake them to a lead with 2 minutes left to defend a 90 yard field...
I've watched that play several times. I'm still not sure what most of you saw when you said Hobbs was expecting safety help over the top. He looked and played like he was 1 on 1 with Plax the entire way. This year, Burress even thanked Belichick for leaving Hobbs in single coverage in that Super Bowl. Hobbs wasn't nearly as bad as people here made him out to be. A very competent RCB, actually. But he got absolutely toasted on that play.
