Say, this is nice.
The offense has been rough today outside of Ridley.

The Pats are making the Pats look like crap.
Re: The 2012 New England Patriots
Poor execution all game, but the Cardinals coughed it up late and handed them a chance to win, and they still couldn't do it. Mind-boggling coaching at the end. When four out of five idiots on a bar stool can figure out that you should attack when (1) you have all the momentum, (2) you pay your quarterback $18 million a year, and (3) a 40-yard-plus field goal isn't a chip shot, you'd think the head coach could get it right. Beyond dumb. The worst end-of-game coaching job since the Pete Carroll Era. They throw with Brady when they're up 28 points. Yet they don't throw when they're down two? Horrible game management.

Re: The 2012 New England Patriots
I hate being the whiney, blame-the-refs fan, because every team has them and they don't really add much to the conversation, but the officials took this game from potentially/probably 17-0 to 13-7 entirely on their own. NE has a decent team but they're not nearly good enough to overcome 4-5 calls that all go against them in the span of eight minutes. This has been really disappointing. Long way to go, though.

Re: The 2012 New England Patriots
Wow, that was something. Let's leave the officiating aside for a moment. I think this can be a good team that wins a lot of games. Everything went against them and they lost by one on the road against what is supposed to be one of the best teams in the league. But these chokes start to add up after a while. I guess we'll see what happens.
They had this game won in the first quarter and the absurd offensive PI on Edelman turned it. But still, they choked. This D really struggles to make a stop at the end against good teams.

Yep. Refs were terrible, but it's the same old defense when the game is on the line.

Re: The 2012 New England Patriots
Can't blame the refs for this one. They evened out the stupid calls. McCourty either needs to be benched or cut. He spends all game with his back to the QB, meaning he's never in the position to see the ball and break up the play, or get an INT. Yes, occasionally he bats down a pass but as a QB you'll pick on him deep all day. If he's not going to intercept you (yet another pass clanked off his hands last night) the risk-reward tradeoff for picking on him is definately in your favor. Don't want to know what's going to happen vs Rothlisberger, either Manning, Brees, even Schaub, etc if they have to run into those guys this year. I see things playing out like last year with a similar season ending killer drive that they can't stop.
For this Belichick despite his greatness deserves full blame. Ever since he stubbornly turfed Ty Law we haven't had a solid secondary, and that includes Assante Samuel who dropped a Super Bowl clinching INT that Law never would have muffed. Not sure what game Bill's been watching these last half dozen years or so, but its long past time to spend some bucks on a top notch CB and stop hoping late round draft picks can do the job in a more and more passing league.

Re: The 2012 New England Patriots
Yes.
One other thing...
Aside from from the sack which was rubbed out by a hold call, they never touched Flacco. That's not good.
