Quote:Of all the bad things we saw today, this was probably the most frustrating for me personally. You DO NOT play zone against Brady. Most of us know this...


Then again, we're down so many DBs, I'm hoping they felt they had no choice. Our 5th DB vs. Edelman in man coverage isn't a much better look.


On a marginal bright side, Buffalo and Arizona are looking likely to drop 50 on their opponents also, so we might not be alone.

But as shown by the bills you can't play man against gronk and Edelman


It's a catch 22 play zone Brady picks you apart

Play man gronk is too physical at the line and gets open or Edelmans route running gets him open and if he gets half a yard he picks up big yards after the catch.


Which I think is why we said all week we play our game. There is no defense that will entirely shut down that offense. It's too good and more importantly too well balanced. The only thing you can do is go out there and play your game perfectly.


We didn't even play our game well.
