It seems that when poor qb play is the topic wideouts not being open is always brought up. I feel this is because most fans can’t see who is open when watching the game and are just not willing to go watch the all-22 film. I love the game and all it’s inctracies and will not sit for 2 hours dissecting every single player on ever single play. 

It is very hard for me to believe that a team that played a lot of man on Sunday; with subpar corners, had every single person covered like a blanket on every play. I will not accept that narrative and I challenge who ever believes that to produce that evidence. What I did see was poor passes thrown to wide open players on simple slant routes. I actually witnessed that. 

The 2006 patriots also went 12-4 so it must not have been that bad during that season.

I do agree that Blake isn’t the absolute worst qb. He definitely has the ability to play at a high level and be a top qb. He just isn’t doing that and doesn’t appear to be making that leap in his career.
