True, at least the margins have closed, though, from a 35+ point spread at the end of the game to now a touchdown or field goal.

Like someone else mentioned, it looks like teams are starting to figure it out. I don't blame anyone for being nervous about bringing the house on 3rd down. Yeah, blitzing is great when you get pressure on him. But what if he gets it off to Randy Moss 20 yards downfield with little coverage? Well there goes 6 points.

Overall, though, I think the solution we're seeing is that the game changes when you can knock Brady on his ass and jam those receivers at the line. Just takes a ballsy defensive coordinator to bring it on every down and not play coverage.

I guess you can pick whether you want to play coverage and die slowly, or risk bringing the house and taking Brady out or he beats you and you die a pretty quick death. Pick your poison.
