Patriots style football

Only difference is MT. Pats seldom relied on one WR back in the day. For us, everything flows through MT.

Rob Gronkowski? Edelman has struggled to be a consistent producer without him?

The Big Difference is that Belichick knew how to game-plan and shut folks down with his defense, slow the game down, bang the rock, and let the performance anxiety of the playoffs work to his favor...

Payton, not so much...

Payton thinks he understands defenses because he can pick them apart but he doesn't have a clue when it comes down to making a game plan for the defense. When he stopped tinkering with the defenses we were able to field better defenses.

Still, I don't put this on Payton. I put this on DA who I'm less happy with almost every game this year. There have been too many close games in garbage time. He just can't control the lead and takes his foot off the throttle. That's just too hard on my liver.

I'm not Team DA by any means, but in his defense I'll say, no, his strength is not in game planning but in tweaking, making adjustments to shut down teams second half...

That said, we haven't seen that strength on display in the three losses this year nor the playoff losses...
