It's sad when you've watched a team long enough that you know they're gonna lose when they walk away with 9 points in 3 trips to the red zone, of course that's easy to say in hind sight. But that's not the only factor that led to today's loss. First of all, ELEVEN penalties for 89 yards! I don't remember the last time the Patriots had eleven penalties. You just can't do that and expect to win a game. Also, they say you don't know what you got till it's gone, well everyone in Patriot nation now knows what they got in Wes Welker. I'm sure Joey Galloway and Julian Edelman were trying their best, but there's just not the chemistry with Brady. When you have the kind of pass rush they saw this week you have to release the ball quickly and to do that you need good chemistry with your receivers. Speaking of the pass rush, Sanchez had ALL DAY to pass the ball while Brady was getting tossed to the ground almost every play! Everybody's been talking about the NY blitz all week, but they had no answer for it. This is gonna be a loooong season for Brady if he spends half of it on the ground. And it's gonna be a loooong season for the defensive backs if we can't get any pass rush from our D-line. And last but certainly not least, do we have a kick coverage team? Or maybe they just thought it was a good idea to give up 30+ yards and great field position everytime. When the kicker is in on the tackle, you know there's problems.
