How I saw it.....

Our D was pathetic last night, Sporano, and Nolan should be called out, Sporano moreso the conditioning of this team was sub par to say the least. I'm glad we did not play at 1pm sunday afternoon it would have been much worse.

Our D was so gassed they weren't even in position a good 40% of the plays they were on the field for, and I'm saying that they weren't even set when [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Brady[/COLOR][/COLOR] got the ball.

Brady is The BEST QB in the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]NFL[/COLOR][/COLOR] hands down, P Manning is great but Brady smokes him, Brady was on fire and he played the D into the turf at will.

But ya know what, our offence was spectacular for the most part, and we were in the game till the last 4 minutes playing the one of the best if not the best team in the game with the best QB possibly ever.

Props to Chad and Brian Dobal for giving us one hell of a chance despite our shortcomming (sporano)

Yes our team being not physicallly prepared was the number one reason why our defense struggled. I cant say why or what lead to them not having their bodies ready, but it was embarrassing.

Now after that, the reason our defense struggle is because of the Patriots ability to pass protect. Any team that faces the Patriots and Brady is able to stand around like that will get beat the same way. I always notice this about the patriots that suspiciously that OL can grab rushers without getting called for holding. The next time we meet them, we have to find away to over come that.

Third, the way you stop that offense that the Patriot were running is by tackling. Patriots spent most of the night throwing short passes not long enough for a first, but it was the run after the catch that was killing us. The whole game we allowed them either too much room to run after the catch or just poor tackling. Eventually that bomb at the end of the game was coming, thats what that short passing game was setting up. Its the same problem that the canes had against Maryland. If we just simply tackled after the receivers where they made the catch, they would mostly went three and out.

Combine those three failures and last night game is what you will get.
