Okay, I know, I sound like I'm complaining. Maybe I am, and I shouldn't be. I should be celebrating the win. And I am, inside. I just don't understand why we played the way we played.

We moved the ball at will three of the first four possessions. One was stymied by Watkins fumble and the other two stalled. I agree that we were pretty vanilla at the end of the two stalled drives. I think Andy wanted to save the two scoring plays for later in the season, if he could score TDs in safe mode. He brought the secret plays out to salt away the win, but they were always there.

You're right, you're absolutely right.

I know it's irrational to feel how I feel about it.

We won, and I never thought we wouldn't. It doesn't get much better than that right? Especially against the Patriots.

Too much anticipation.

Really weird play...

First quarter Tyreek catches one over the middle and takes off, he runs toward the sideline and with room in front of him, he ducks out of bounds.

He could have another 5 yards easy and possibly more with a juke and his speed.

Seemed very uncharacteristic for Tyreek. Anyone else notice this?

Its at 12:05 in the first quarter.

Yes. I think he could have also caught the deep pass along the left sideline. He had a hammy back in September. I don’t think he fully trusts his legs, probably with good reason. He has another gear he hasn’t used all year. I’d rather he not gimp himself. It’s not worth the risk to have him sitting on the sideline on the chance of an eye-popping TD.

There were 2 patriots closing towards the sideline, maybe from his view it looked completely closed off. He definitely could have gotten another 3 yards though.

Sidenote; I love how Hill is catching the ball with his hands away from his body this year instead of cradle-catching it. He must have worked on it during the offseason. Glad he continues to improve himself.
