I think they executed. If it wasn’t for special teams and a pick new england would of been without touchdowns as we were and I believe we would of won off field goals or long drives with dak and zeke eating clock.

Of course, this all is only a defense of the coaches, if one is expected to believe that coaching doesn’t have an impact on a players ability to execute.


which of course would just be a foolish thing to think.

In the Mic'd Up - Sounds of the Sideline video..there's a coach talking to(the LBs I believe) stating, something along the lines of: "We know what they're doing, successful run, they're going to try and follow it up with another. That run fails, then they try and pass."

Weather or not, the defense played very well for most of the game, Soo don't doubt that they did know what New England was doing..on offense.

Holding NE to 13 points is significant. Not anything to look down on. Our O let us down. 9 points won't beat anyone.

Would the Dallas D have been able to do that under better weather conditions? I don't put much stock into this stat because even the best offense in the history of the NFL would have looked worse than average had they played in the same weather we saw on Sunday.

They held the Pats to 13 points. I think the defense did just fine.

But kudos to Dre for scouring the internet for any scraps and bits of anything to try to make Garrett look to be better than he actually is.

Didnt we get flags because they had no return man and we didn’t know what to do.

It was awesome sauce.

We lined up in punt formation. Our WR was totally not covered and if the team was aware, the punter could have snapped it, flicked it to the WR who would have gotten the first down. NE noticed this and ran a defender over eventually.

On top of that, they didn't put anyone back which further confused us. So we took a delay penalty. We go to the sidelines, regroup, come back out and the Pats do the EXACT SAME THING and we still are clueless on what to do. The outside WR runs in to add a blocker but that causes an illegal formation (or motion, can't remember) penalty on the kick.

That's coaching. Plain and simple. Throw in the Pollard gaffe on the kick off when we had him lining up at the goal line when the wind was blowing and having balls land around the 20 and special teams was a real crap show on Sunday.

This. 50%+ of both offenses' struggles were attributable to the conditions. The passing game cannot operate under those conditions - doesn't matter what team, what year. The defense does not deserve the credit that it would under routine conditions, that's for sure.
