Quote:I agree. They play not to lose, not to win. I hate referring to the Patriots so much, but they set the standard. They keep laying it on because they don't want to risk the defense screwing up. They will show no mercy next week.


Love the Mayweather analogy. Lol

Dont get me started on Mayweather lol.  I never want us to lose but you're right, the Pats set the standard.  if we are even going to be remotely close to being in this game then we cannot stop whatever is working in either half.  If the run is killing then pound it till they stop it and vice versa with the pass.  Brady is known for making big time throws in critical moments and the only way for that not to hurt us is to already be in the lead.  Just like today, we were up 20-13 so i didn't panic when the game was tied up.  I just stuck with the "Defense Wins Championships" mantra and we pulled it out.  Next week, defense wont do as much to stop the pats but we can't let their defense hinder us on our possessions if we want to fight blow for blow on offense.
