What we saw yesterday was pretty basic ****...
1) sloppy play (penalties)
2) beat in the trenches (both sides of the ball)
3) interesting scheme which we never adjusted to (the Patriots targeted Taron Johnson all game long. They would line up, find him at the snap, and run at him when they weren't running between the tackles, run their play gadget/screen play toward him or throw at his guy)
that's all we saw. all game long. oh sure JA was a little less sharp than usual (I wouldn't say he was bad, his floor has gotten much higher from his rookie year, but he wasn't great either) so that didn't help at all, but when you lose at the line of scrimmage, take stupid penalties all game long, and don't adjust to something the other team is doing... well. you get yesterday.
Even ****ty teams can win when they do those things.
