Embarassing...when it counts, the defense is laying a big egg.

 

That's been happening more often lately.

Maybe if the offense wasn't always giving away points, every series wouldn't be so crucial.

 

Offense had nothing to do with them being able to stuff it down their throats on that drive.

But, had we not turned it over what three times when we should have scored that series wouldn't have mattered that much.

What did the offense have to do with the Patriots just driving down the field with authority?

The when it counts part, it wouldn't have counted had we took care of the ball.

I agree, but we knew going in to the season the offense would not be a strength. Can't expect them to be perfect now. The D has to carry this team----it was always going to be great D or bust.

Well then we won't be long for the playoffs again. You have to at lest have an O that doesn't give away points.

Hopefully we'll get better refs for the playoffs...

so injuries today wouldn't be a surprise given the new surface... but none of them have been related to the ground, ahve they?

Johnson had an ankle injury, so that could be.

Benson would be OWNING with the holes that Jones is getting.

 

Benson should be getting the bulk of the carries today, he has been more effective. I still don't know why they use Jones on 3rd and short and near the goal line. Jones should get the 1st shot to see if he's effective, but if by half it becomes clear that Benson's style suits the flow of the game, why be so stubborn and stick Jones out there?

nor are the Patriots because they have given away just as many today.

I would agree, they probably won't get too far. They aren't near the team they used to be.
