Excellent perspective on Pats game

The pass plays were three WRs grouped on one side or the other, no motion, and they made sure that no one, TE's or RB's, helped the o-line on blocking (except an occasional chip by the RB). The defense never disguised anything. They showed thier blitz, let Brady adjust, and then came anyway. They wanted to isolate a defender man on man against the TE but got outplayed. Gibbs confirmed this in his press conference.

yeah thanks for checking back. so, were the Pats just that much better one on one or were they testing deeper into their playbook?

3 quarters of leaving people one on one vs. the Pats, we're lucky no one got hurt.
