Patriots look just like they did a year ago.
That's the thing. It's not so much the loss, as the way to game went:
- 0 points off of 2 red zone possessions (missed FG in the 1st quarter, fumble on the Jets 16 yard line in the 4th)
- Abandoning the running game in the 2nd half
- Getting more predictable in the 2nd half, with too much reliance on Moss and Welker. Gronk targeted 2 times, Hernandez once in the 2nd half.
- Critical turnovers.
- Defense unable to get off the field on 3rd down.
- Porous secondary.
- Lack of 2nd half adjustments.
- 2nd half collapse on the road.
This was just like the Broncos game from 2009. Or the 2nd Miami game. Or the Colts game. Or the Houston game.
14 points form the offense, with 0 2nd half points, won't win us many games.
I'm disappointed in the defense. I'm
very disappointed in the offense.
