I think the patriot defense limited the patriot offense. What I mean by that is the same situation caused the offense to be very conservative. We played “stay on schedule” offense (which is not what we do best) and were ultra conservative on 3rd down. You almost never see brady throwing 3 yard passes on 3rd and 8.Great stuff.
I'm equally interested in what the Rams did that bottled up the Pats so well. Seemed like they took away White and the dump downs more effectively than anyone every has, and everything downfield and to the sidelines was well covered.
When they tied the game and we needed a TD it was a different offense and went right down the field.
This is what amazes me that people haven’t figured out about the patriots. Everything they do is interdependent and how they play is dictated by the score of the game.
