With the re-awakening of the camergate BS and all of the sour grapes that comes with it, Philadelphia has always been one of the loudest whiners. The thing I consistently hear from Philly is "THEY STARTED SCREENING US TO DEATH, HOW DID THEY KNOW TO DO THAT?!" So I watched the 2nd half drives, here's what I saw:
Tied 7-7 in the 3rd:
pass downfield for 8 yards
run
pass downfield + YAC 27 yards
incomplete
incomplete
pass down field 15 yards
run
pass downfield 15 yards
run
Vrabel TD
Tied 14-14 3:35 left in 3rd:
KO return to 35
False Start
Screen to Brown. Our first screen where Philly had SEVEN guys on the line and couldn't have been more obviously blitzing.
Screen to Faulk
run
fake end around pass to Branch
run
run
run
Screen to Faulk
run TD
21-14 with 12:33 left in the 4th
Punt return to Eagles 47
run
pass downfield into tight coverage, awesome play by branch
run
run
run
incomplete
run
FG
So, in summary. The Patriots had 3 scoring drives int he 2nd half and there was a total of 3 screen passes on 1 drive where they were obviously running and using screens as pseudo-run plays to chew up the clock and keep the defense honest. Philadelphia fans need to actually re-watch this game instead of just spouting idiocy.
