to me the games yesterday showed

They showed me how much work we have to do....in ALL phases of the game.

 

LOL DUDE! In 07 Ben threw 32 tds and 11 ints right? He also rushed for 2 more. He would've been MVP if not for the fact that Brady had the greatest season ever. But yeah "Ben has never played a whole season, at a high level." LOLOLOLOL! Class dismissed....carry on...

 

I thought my response sufficient but I also agree with you as well. LOL.

 

And with play calling. Do you see the Patriots yesterday. They were winning like 30 to 13 and the got a turnover with like 14 minutes to go on the Texans 30 yard line. They went right into a shotgun and throw a touchdown pass on the first play.

The first thing I thought of is what would our offense play call be in that situation? Run up the middle, run up the middle, and it would probably third and four or five to go and we would pass hopefully for a first down. Just not very creative and definitely not a way to put a team away. This just goes to show you that with all the rule changes you have to out score teams today, and your offense needs to have the capability to score in the 30s or 40s with aggressive play calling, something we didn't do all season and I think we need to change our offensive thinking big time!

 

Sometimes I get tired of using the emoticon.

 

We did score 31 once and we lost. But I've thought for a while that we just seem to lack killer instinct. The Falcons seem to lack it as well. Brady will put his foot on the throttle and not take it off until the clock reads nothing but zeroes. They have such a killer instinct that they often get called out for "running up" the score. I don't think they should be called out. I think they should be celebrated. Belichik conditions that team to win and win big and STILL not feel that they've done enough. That is just masterful coaching to go with great game planning. I wish we had just a smidge of that. Not that I'm saying we are poorly coached but we just seem to lack the sense that blood is in the water.

 

Waiting for the post about this doesnt belong in the steeler talk....

 

We could just copy and paste from the several others that were already posted
