Pats grasp defeat from the clutchs of victory.

Maybe the other teams have finally figured out how to beat the Pats offensive system.  ( pressure the QB)

Two interesting notes from yesterdays game.

-Arizona scored 10 of their 20 points on two drives where the moved the ball a combined 9 yards

-10 of the cardinals 13 possessions lasted 5 plays or less

First note = Importance of special teams
Second note = Patriots defense appears much improved

Oh man, please, no "pressure the QB" talk.  I can't think of a more obvious football gameplan than "pressure the QB"...I'm pretty sure no qb likes to get hit or sacked.  It only took until the Giants in 2007, up until then no teams in the first 6 years of Brady's career obviously never had the idea of "pressure the QB"

Brady has to do better with taking the opportunity to scramble for a few yards, not be Vick or RGIII, but the amount of times he hung onto the ball or threw it away when he had the chance to gain some positive yardage on his own was so frustrating to watch yesterday.

Tp, this a thousand times this.

I am so sick and tired of this on any NFL broadcast. You can gaurentee that no matter what one commentator will say the following or a close variation.

"you know, the key to disrupting (insert QB) is to make him feel presure and get hits and sacks on the QB."

Oh gee, you think? you mean what the defense is trying to do on every play and the offensive line is trying to prevent is key to the defensive gameplan?

Defenses enjoy 6-10 yards lost, a possable turnover, and a loss of down?

oh lordy! thank god for you insightful NFL announcer!

This "gameplan" is on par with these other breaking gameplans from other sports.

1: "you know, if you play great defense and rebound, thats the key to a succesful NBA defense."

2: "you know, if you hit alot of homeruns, that probley a pretty good formula for success."

3: "the key to shutting down a great hitter is to get him out"

4: " The key to denying power play goals is not to commit penilties."

ect, ect.

I am so sick and tired of hearing the weakness of QB's is being sacked. I thought it was getting no pressure and just hoping for the best.  ::)

Arizona didn't win that game, the Pats lost it. Poor offensive play calling. Bad special teams. Undisciplined and stupid penalties. Poor execution. Poor decision making and throws on many occasions from Brady. Some really bad drops.

Belichick will love having this game in his pocket to remind this team of how they need to practice and execute to win. In the long run, this might be a good thing for the team.

BTW, the defense is looking awesome and this year's draft class might be the best in a decade.

Yep. Of course, we're only two games in, but it is looking really good so far.

Patriots just signed Kellen Winslow.  Obviously a Hernandez replacement for the time being.  Could be interesting I think.

when Hernandez does come back, could you imagine that 3 tight end set?  Pretty cool

In addition to Winslow, they also just brought back Branch.

Not a big surprise since they never took down his locker. 

The only surprise for me is that they cut for Salas after trading him.

Yeah, exactly ... I told someone today that I wcs encouraged from that game and they looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears.

They beat themselves Sunday, and gave Bill a clear picture why and how to correct it.

These kind of games are as necessary as almost any others, and I'm glad it came early in the season.

I'm loving this team, especially the defense and the improved running game ... Brady and the passing game will get into sync shortly, and the loose ends will be polished off without much trouble.

Barring any more critical injuries, I think the Pats are definitely one of the teams to beat in the East, if not the team.

Really happy about Branch and Winslow as well ... those threats should help Gronk's catches and the resurgence of Welker, as well as Lloyd's rising Patriots career.

Feeling great about this team ... the strangest thing about that game was Gostowki's miss, which seemed like a head thing, but I don't think it will be a chronic concern.

I did not realize Ridley is 5th in the league in rushing yards and 10th in yards per attempt. Kinda makes the loss more frustrating actually
