C'mon guys, lets not fire the coaching staff and cut the entire defense quite yet. I'm very dissapointed the fins lost today. They kept fighting and until they came mentally unglued in the 4th quarter I always felt they had a chance. After last year it was a treat for me to just be in a meaningful game in week 12. Last year we were 0-11 right about now, think about it. Our secondary was lousy today, but we went man up all game. Don't think that was the best plan. Also, too much Wildcat, folks were talking here like we were just going to wildcat the Pats to death for a 2nd time. How could posters be so naive? We needed more conventional running plays and more passing. NE really couldn't stop our passing game either.
Keep it in perspective, there will be personnel improvements and young player improvement next year. The team is on the right track. The Jets pretty much had the same problems wit NE's spread, only difference is they saw it for 2 to 2 1/2 quarters where we saw it for the whole freakin game. The Pats staff must have seen something on us because they chose to grind there way to victory vs Denver and Buffalo and were content to try that vs the Jets and Indy as well. With us they went right to spread.
The team may miss the playoffs this year, so what I didn't expect to be talking about them right now.
