-Robinson needs to be worked into the passing/screen game during the bye week. He brings "it" to the running game and needs more playing time while being less predictable.
-The Pats just gave the NFL a blueprint on stopping/slowing down the Saints. Get physical with Graham and Colston.
-Moore needs to get healthy and Meachem, Stills and Toon need to step up and be consistent.
-The Saints D played better without Bunkley. Rotation yes. Starter no.
-Greer letting the WR get behind him in the end zone with 10 seconds left was a horrible play.
-The Saints are 5-1 and in the grand scheme of things, the loss today might turn out to be a good thing. Lots of teaching and motivation can now be applied for two weeks.

I agree with all of this minus one part. Kenny Stills was excellent today, it isn't his fault that Drew chose to throw 6 passes to Jimmy in quintuple coverage, Stills caught all three passes thrown his way, and scored what could have been the winning TD, had the offense done anything at all in the last 3 drives. Meach and Toon both had costly drops and need to step up in the clutch when our other weapons are bottled up. Belichick decided that we were going to have to beat them with our 3rd and 4th WRs, and they let us down.

Maybe it was just me. Maybe it's my extreme homerism. I thought that the refs were blatantly had it out for us. They seemed to be in favor of helping the Pat's out. It was either rigged, or those refs were blind.

Either way, good win for the pats, even if it was by cheating.

+ Why wasn't Sproles a defenseless player on one of the later drives? Looked like the Jenkins hit.

I dont think there is any doubt the ref calls cost us this game, but that is hardly the issue. Our offense needs to start up again, and stop making these games close. I mean we dont have the defense excuse anymore. Defense is playing ok for the 1st time ever.

What made it worst is the official reach for his flag then put his hand back down.

Did they really get that extra time out? I keep hearing about it but am not sure if it is true or not. I wouldn't be surprised.

Of course, we did all we could to make sure they had enough time, the refs didn't need to give them extra ones if they did.

OOps sorry didnt see it posted in that other thread. Maybe this one warrants a thread of its own though.

Hard to say if he would've gotten there in time but he may have gotten close enough to disrupt the throw.

I think he would of gotten there in time.

But its truly not about if he got there in time or not, its the fact it was a hold, plenty times we see holds called that really had no bearing on the outcome of the play.

The refs were pretty atrocious in this game.

- Ball hits ground, called complete.

- Timeout nor delay of game called which resulted in an Interception.

- Holding penalty not called on game winning TD.

- Patriots having 4 timeouts.

See a problem with this? its blatant cheating IMO.
