It all makes the coaches look pretty darn stiff. And boy is that O-line looking patchy, and particularly weak in the straight-ahead run blocking. If Brady's not gonna sneak on third and fourth and short any more, well, they've got to learn how to chew short yardage up between the tackles. Tough day- it ain't chicken little time, because it's game two, but the Patches have certainly injected a different kind of interest and excitement into the next game.

So the D would have planned some possible adjustments accordingly, right? It's a marathon so when Tom gets his groove back this game hopefully will be a turning point. In the mean time I'm sure the knuckle-dragging know-it-alls will only be too happy to scream on EEI while they're busy pointing fingers at the most convenient scapegoat(s).
