Those factors absolutely contributed. My biggest disappointment from that game was that I didn't think we went in playing to win the game. I mean obviously we literally did try to win. But we seemed to be just tiptoeing around the whole time. I think we could have overcome the factors you listed if we had come in with a different attitude.
We are going to be injured in all likelihood unless our luck does a 180. If you take a look at teams that have beaten NE in the playoffs or played them tough in general, you have BAL and NYJ. They aren't afraid of NE. They go in with an attitude and confidence.
