One other thing to consider is that the Patriots have REAL problems with speed on the edge. They couldn't stop us when we'd send speed to the edge.
My question is why didn't they go to the well more? We kept running it up the middle, where they were doing a good job of stuffing it. I'm guessing it was because Reid tried to keep Belicheat guessing, but we didn't have the horses to move dudes in the middle and they didn't have the horses to get to the edge. It's also possible he was not wanting to bust Belicheat hard enough that he'd change scheme. The devil you know kind of thing.
Anyway, just an interesting tidbit.
