I'm re-watching right now. Here are a few Random thoughts:
-On our 1st drive of the game, Lynch had a 2nd down run near the 10 yard line that was considered 3rd and 1. I think that ref gave us a terrible spot. He looked to be at least a half of a yard closer to the first down marker. Perhaps our play call changes if it's 3rd and inches...
-The Patriots started to feel our hits in the second quarter. First Wright with a huge one on Gronk, and then of course browner's hit on Welker. I have a feeling teams start to hear footsteps near the end of the game. It HURTS playing us.
-There was a 3rd and 10 when Wagner dropped into a deep zone, and trufant and another LB were forced to cover Hernandez and Welker in an intermediate zone. Trufant played it terribly and Welker ended up getting 12 yards and a first down. Very frustrating. Welker is very good but Trufant has definitely lost a step. We will need to upgrade that spot next year.
- Brady is a wuss. Irvin him him on the botched snap almost simultaneously to releasing the ball and he whined to the ref like a baby.
- I don't think I've ever seen a game reffed so well in the last 2 years. It's nice playing the Pats for that reason.
I'll keep them coming as I watch.
