OK, I will stop whining about the refs...or Elam...it shouldn't of come down to that but in the chat room I could see that 1 point hook as clear as a bad moon risin' on a clear night.
What was evident againt NE finally bit us in the ass yesterday...the INABILITY TO PUT TEAMS AWAY...sure, Elam should of hit the FG and it would of put the game out of reach...but we could of buried them...I wouldn't say we were playing prevent on that last drive, but it sure seemed like the coverage was playing soft...Hell, we would of been better off just letting them score with some time on the clock. They worked us like a 1 hour whore for 59:50. I feel for the OF1 crew...they were probably whooping it up with 9 minutes to play, but I kept looking at that 13 points and seeing a hook.
Remember the '98 team? Now I'm not saying at all that this is the same team, but they would have the oppsosition so discouraged by the second quarter they were hanging their heads...did we let up? NO! Why does this less dominant team seem to think it can coast when in the lead? It's freaking driving me nuts!
Was Fergy on valium yesterday? On the rag? One play for some reason only God can possible explain, they go zone and Bailey simply releases Burress into the belly of the secondary...I couldn't freaking believe it...Fergy was nowhere to be found to pick up Burress, and Champ was left picking his nose. God I hate zone coverage because you never know if the guy behind you is paying attention...obviously Fergy wasn't...he was toasted a couple other times, but you don't treat Shockey like just any TE...he's a WR in a big mean nasty smelly evil mood demon that has to be clubbed mercilessly...we treated him like some newborn baby to be cuddled...it drove me crazy...
Yeah I'm venting and I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE...(Network)...
What this team needs to learn is that it's not enough to stick the knife in...YOU HAVE TO TWIST IT WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE...or the guy just might pull out a pocket derringer while on his knees...sounds like a silly analogy, but that's all football is...an organized street fight...so Roman...so cool...time to come home and lick our wounds and get ready for T.O.
This is going to take a few days to recover, but maybe it will wake the coaching staff up so they don't go fetal next time with a lead...
again, I don't blame the team...Fergy had a bad game, but the team, at least to me, seemed to be playing to the whistle all game...I think we can hang this on the coaches becoming too conservative.
