A Coaching Failure of Monumental Proportions

[Copp]

So now we learn that Brady had a bad foot all along.
So did anyone on the coaching staff consider it might
be a good idea to have a run game in place in case
Brady got hurt and was even less mobile? Or if he
was put out of the game altogether and Hoyer had
to come in (Miami blitzed the crap out of him in
the first series he came in in the last game of
the season). But even without the foot injury,
didn't anyone anticipate the Jets would flood
the backfield? On some plays the Jets had only
3 or even 2 men on the line, ripe for exploitation
by quick-hitters with the running backs.

All in all, this one is on Belichick. Yes, the
play that blew the game was the 58 yarder made
out of a 4 yard pass play by Cotchery, but the
Patriots could have had the lead by that time.

Like Ron Borges wrote, in most positions, the Jets did have the better
players at most position.
That Pats team was an over achiever if you take the Vegas O/U on
season wins for them at 9.5.

The Pats had one of the very best if not the best QB playing...and I don't
think anyone can deny that BB took some limited talent and made it work...he
may have even changed the way offense will be run by going to a TE oriented
game, time will tell. Rex seems to have figured that new game out nad
handled it.
