There's just no margin for error with the stunning lack of talent we have at key positions. We crossed into Patriots territory 8 times and left the Razor with 3 points. Penalties, mental breakdowns, horrible passes, drops, missed assignments, etc.
The defense just had to do too much and tired as the game progressed.
And Belichick pwned Haley at halftime. We had a good first half plan that caught the Pats off-guard. We just didn't have a response for their adjustments.
When we drove back down the field after giving up the long TD pass to Gronkowski (for which my FFL team was truly grateful), the INT just killed us. We could have gone in down 7-6 or even up 10-7. Instead we're down 10-3 and they get the ball in the 2nd half.
