Right! A year ago today I was driving on the 1-90 with my daughter. We pass him (has a personalized plate) and he is knuckle deep in his nose. She took a picture of it. Made us laugh.
The coaches respected Brady too much and allowed him to get them in FG range. Play them straight and not give up the yardage, they punt. Those 3 points that the coaching staff conceded is not how you win.
That last drive died when Daboll thought they could score with a QB run. The line was bad all day. No real challenges to the banged up NE defense. Played safe when you should have played like you had nothing to lose.
