2012 Patriots Football

CBS has the worst coverage...I couldnt follow any game!

When Brady cost the Pats 3 points just before the half because of a stupid throw away(it could have been done without being an obvious throw away), I said to my wife, "If the Pats lose by less than three points, I don't care how great Brady's numbers are, he lost this game with a stupid decision."

I take that all back. He lost this game because of a lot of stupid decisions. He was lucky not to have been picked off 5 times.

Also, Dennard and Wilson look like the only DBs that has half a clue and they are a 7th round rookie and a 2nd round rookie. McCourty, Chung, Arrington, Moore and Gregory all are just plain terrible.

The Pats are going to win this game, but they should be embarrassed for giving up that TD.

I'm not a Pats fan, and generally root against them.  However, there's no way they should have lost that game in the manner in which they did.

Getting totally burned on a deep pattern like that?  Just totally unacceptable.

He was absolutely Manningish...and not Eli Manning.  I mean he wasn't anywhere near as bad as Brett Farve, but he was pretty horrid.

Brady sure didn't play well....never seen him skip so many passes, lose track of time just before the half, force throws into coverage and take grounding plays. McDaniel wasn't any better with his play calling especially with a couple minutes left in the game.
The defense? McCourty must go and should take Arrington with him. Way to many long passes against them. And for Moore not to cover the outside on the last punt is criminal. Bad decisions all around today.

The secondary was horrible last year, and picked up where they left off this season. The trick is, they usually get a pass because the offense is so brilliant. Example: even with zero defense yesterday, we were one intentional grounding call away from coming on top.

This is what they do.  And unfortunately, the other coaches have figured it out.  The book on the Pat's defense has become pretty thick. 

And the problem wasn't that they got "beat".  I don't put that on the Corner.  The problem is that the Safety was nowhere to be seen...which has been a HUGE issue.  The safeties are constantly biting on the wrong patterns (or play action), leaving the deep patterns wide open. 

Combine that with the fact that they seem to be teaching their corners to never play the ball, and it is making it very easy on opposing QBs.

BTW, I hate the fact that people are pointing to the "intentional grounding".  It was either that or a sack.  And a sack would have killed the clock too, most likely.

The one just before half wasnt close to a sack and cost the team a shot at a gimme field goal.

Yup. Not to mention how poorly we managed the clock before it.

Not to mention that he had three receivers in the right corner of the endzone....so if he's going to throw it away, it should have been to the right.

I agree, though the two safeties out there were both rookies, not trying to make excuses, but one was a second round pick and the other was an Ohio state rugby player.  The defense is definitely more talented than in years past and they have been making tons of high impact plays.  I think better awareness and recognition on plays like the one to Sydney rice will come in time.
