the key to winning in the playoffs?? our O-line

[RIpats88]

our last 2 playoff losses werent because of the defense, they were because our offense never got anything going against the opposing defenses. If you only put up 3points into the 3rd quarter chances are you will lose that game.

really, if the O-line can create holes for our RBs and give Tom Brady enough time, he'll get the ball to our playmakers...no doubt about it.

when our offense gets into gear, our defense usually falls into place. we get a TD, they hold them to a FG and then force a TO

I know that our offensive linemen are versatile, Solder and Cannon for example. I just don't see as safeties.

I think the key is Mccourty waking up. If he can somehow return to his rookie form, that would be two good/great CBs, we could atleast get some stops on D then.

not being talked about much is how koppen is missed and connolly is out we are pn our fourth center...

As I've been saying. Nate Solder never should have lost his starting RT job in the first place and he had a tremendous game today. Vollmer had struggled for a while and Solder really has earned that starting job over there. I hope he stays there because he really completes this OLine.

I think our running game misses Vollmer. Hope he makes it back. I like our offense best when we can use Solder as a te.

I want to see Spikes and Chung before I write us off. I'm close. But, maybe they help. I'm sure they help the run defense. Force some 3rd and longs. Gets a crappy safety off of the field when Chung comes back.
