It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The offense put up 30 points against the Ravens last night, despite not having Hernandez, having Edelman get nicked up, having Branch working his way back into game shape, having Winslow being extremely limited because of his newness with the team, and having to deal with absolutely horrible officiating. I had problems with the direction of the offense in week one, and I hated what was going on in week 2, but last night was fine for the most part.
McDaniels is the best OC the Patriots have had under BB. I have no need to see either O'Brien or Weis back in that position.
What a crock!
The best OC the Patriots have had under BB has the Patriots nearing midfield with a 1st down, 3 minutes left in the game and proceeds to playcall 3 and out while losing yardage with a gadget play that bombs (yeah yeah let's run a play laterally when the Ravens have been pushing the O line backwards) and eats up a whopping minute off the clock which forces the Patriots to punt BEFORE the 2 minute warning.
Equally as weak is why the best OC the Patriots have had under BB does not play his best players. Hey, why play Wes Welker and Steven Ridley when you can play Julien Edelman and Danny Woodhead.
Charlie Weis did far more with far less than Josh McDaniel ever has.

Here's what pisses me off. Because of injuries (Hernandez, Edelman) Welker sees increases playing time and shocker, has great production. The part that pisses me off is that this means there was no mysterious injury, just bad coaching and personnel decisions to take one of the best players off the field either out of spite or to experiment during live games. Those are the only two options left since the injury farce is out the window.

This is a new offense. It's going to take some time to really hit it's stride. ....
You have no idea what you're talking about here, and people used to go postal over the same sorts of things under Weis.
No you have no idea what you are talking about. You're bedazzled by the Greatest Show on Turf........that can't close out games.
One 1st down and the game is over. They not only could not get the 1st down but they lost yardage and failed to take time off the clock.
Terrible job by the "strength" of that team, the offense.
Just awful playcalling.

Not the playcalling, just the execution. That is on the players.
Agree, this is a work in progress, people have no patience. At times MD out smarted himself but over all he is committed to a much more balance Offance than Obrien whos mind set was throw even if the running game was working well.This is a new offense. It's going to take some time to really hit it's stride. Remember 2010 after the Moss trade? It looked worse than this offense looks now for a few weeks until they hit their stride in that Pittsburgh game. Lloyd and Brady are looking more comfortable each week, Edelman is getting an increased role, Ridley is showing he can be a legit threat. I see lots of promise here but it's not going to happen overnight. Despite that, we are scoring over 27 PPG which most teams would take in a heartbeat.
No, the playcalling was not good.
