I’m just cautiously optimistic the bend don’t break mentality is gone, and the D will take a few more chances. We had the Pats at 3rd and long 2 or 3 times on that OT drive alone, and not once did the D get tight, and even try something other than Hope Brady made a mistake.

Guess we’ll see how it goes.

Which, ironically he did...and Dee Ford made a bigger one it turns out...
