LOOK AT THESE STATS! Gilbride should be taken out back and shot.

[lordofgun]

Patriots D: 2nd against pass, 29th against run

Drew Bledsoe: 46 pass attempts

Travis Henry: 11 carries for 53 yards @ 4.8 YPC

11 carries?? We stopped running as soon as we were down by 7 points. Sure, we can blame the defense, but what the heck is up with Gilbride's insistence on passing?? Don't you have to look at what will work best for you game to game?

[clumping platelets]

henry was taken out of the gameplan once we were down 17-0. Bills were still in the game until that frickin punt


clump GW

We had to pass once we got down 24-7. That punt definately ruined our game plan.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Hell, we got right back into the game at halftime with 17-7. 10 points is nothing. The Bungals could've come back with 10 points. I agree, Henry should've been used more often. The Pats run D isn't the best. I think Gilbride wanted to let Bledsoe air it out for personal reasons....

[lordofgun]

We stopped running a lot earlier than that. I don't consider 1 run every 5 passes as a running game.

Go to NFL.com and look at the play by play. It's crystal clear.

[Novacane]

I'm not so sure he has faith in Henry not to fumble. I can't blame him. I hold my breath every time Henry touches the ball!

[Phins054]

No...the problem is with Gilbride...I mean the guy was one of the first to use the Run and shoot O...(I don't know why the word RUN is in it though) which is a predominantly passing offense. KG wants to throw and he has the perfect passing QB for his system. When he was running the O in Houston I think he had 1 1000yd runner. His O is designed to put points on the board, not control the TOP, which actually is ideal if trying to come from behind. NE made a blueprint for stopping Bledsoe and I bet the next few teams you play are going to be watching that game film...

Wasn't Houstons offense 1 of the top TOP teams when they used the run & shoot?

[JJamezz]

Phins is right... We didn't abandon the run when it was 7-0, 17-0 - we did it sometime back in the spring when they hired Gilbride. These are the reasons Buddy R. popped him in the mouth way back when.

As great as our O has looked at times, KG is too in love w/ the Bledsoe's arm. You're just not supposed to PASS on every 3rd and 1, its ridiculous. I thought I was going to pass out when he actually called that sneak yesterday on 4th and inches.

I find it funny too, that some people are calling for GW's head and want KG to replace him - PUH-LEEEAAASSSEEE!!!

[TacklingDummy]

Given the choice between GW or KG i would choose KG.
In 2 years GW has done nothing for this team. HIS defense is giving up 29.6 points per game.

I don't believe so but they were high on the list in scoring. The premise of the run and shoot is to have 4 WRs 1 RB and 0 TEs. since you have pretty much all recievers out in patterns either the RB stays in for pass protection or is a reciever too. This means quick outs and curls because the QB can not stay back for too long. It is also hard to run the ball without having an extra blocker on the line or in the backfield. It sorta helps with the spread WRs but still you would need a FB type of runner like Craig Heyward or Gary Brown (Houstons 1000yd runner) to have any type of effective rushing attack.
