No soft end of the half prevent defense stuff here.

It's particularly frustrating isn't it? A plan is, for the large part working so the Patriots deviate from that.

Is it me or are they killing us off screen passes to the backs?

Obviously they made some adjustments. Was expected.

 

[DOGWARZ]

Defense!! Get a turnover!!

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Need a turnover and have Tom drive us to a TD.

screens? Simple flat routes. Tony G has been killing us as well, other than that, no complaints. Okay, Dline could maybe get their hands up on some of these but other than that...

 

[DefenseRules]

Get a stop here. Get the ball back, score. Go into half, then come out after half and score again.

I like your game plan.

I think we'll get 2 out of 3 of your wished

I think they’re playing underneath to counteract are focus on the deep ball, and it is effective, the problem for them is when they get into the red zone the deep threat is no longer an option so we shut them down.

 

[Marqui]

Defense just turned to complete and utter crap here...

Those are swings, not screens.

People wouldn't even be talking about Gonzalez if Gronk was playing. This offense could go to new heights when he's back.

Imagine having to give extra attention to him and leaving Dobson and Thompkins 1 on 1 on the outside.....

Then you throw Amendola in the mix, suddenly Denver ain't the only offense getting recognition.

 

[Ozymandias]

Defense needs to make a stand here.

Run D leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[SVN]

letdown by the defense

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Tom was off by mile on that last attempt. Needs to work on his timing and accuracy on when his receivers are breaking off their routes. That would've been a huge gain as the defender was way off balance.

How in the h**l do you know that? If anyone was off it was prolly the WR. TB puts it where the play calls.

In fairness, a lot defenses do it. I just don't get why.

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Defense need to tighten here.

 

[buile]

WTG, Nink.

 

[Patsgofor4]

It's called chemistry my friend. Of all the QB's who are in sync with receivers, few look better than Brady when he is.

I'm sorry, but Brady's accuracy has been off this year. He has stalled two drives so far with poor 3rd down throws, both to Thompkins. He needs to be better.

Ninko just tore up that run play.
