[CBFF] Game Comments - New England Patriots 11/26/06

[Steve Behrens]

Not sure if all of these have been mentioned:

1) The FG with 5:00 left was a mistake.  The only reason we got the ball
back with a minute and a half was because of a turnover, which you can't
count on.  You count on your defense stopping the other team, but still
needing a TD one way or another, even after the FG, the Bears should have
went for it on 4th and 4.  Personally, I think it was a no-brainer.  That
particular decision really pissed me off and I really start to question our
coaching staffs ability to make the right call on the occasional 'no
brainers'.

2)  As has been mentioned, and though it was a poor throw by Rex and could
have been completed with an accurate pass, the Bears should have been going
to *one of our top 3 WR's* on that last play.  At the very least, the
defender might have been a little more preoccupied with keeping up with
Bradly or Barrian rather than positioning himself perfectly for the INT.
Sometimes I think ou OC tries to get a little too cute with his play
calling.

3)  WHERE THE HELL WAS OUR TE'S??  Haven't checked the stat's but IMO there
were too, too few ball directed their way.  A large part of the bears
earlier in the season was because they were getting their TE's involved in
the offense....  *POOF*  Gone.. WTF?

4)  No pressure on the QB.  Or barely any.  That's a problem.  Big.  Huge.
Our defense needs to have the QB throwing while hurried... or thinking he's
about to get his bell rung.  Their QB had all fricken day most of the time.
If we could have made him throw even a second earlier, many of those bail
out passes to his tight end would have been incomplete, IMO.

5) Already heard 2 or three references to the Urlacher miss of Brady on his
run.  Gonna get old fast.  That's a tough tackle for a guy to make when
closing so fast.  One juke and your past.

6) Brady's a cocky Mo Fo and I've just recently (withing the last half day
or so) developed an intense dislike for the bastard.  I want the rematch.
