the Patriots game showed that we belong at the big kids table. Still we haven't been dominant in any of our wins. The defense carries us in the first half until the offense shows up in the second half. The offense looks better with each passing week. By season's end I expect our offense will notch a few wins of its own. What's different is that this team seems to know how to close out a hard fought win psychologically and emotionally. We haven't seen that since the glory years or at least Wade and Flutie.
Notice how Allen's INTs have dropped off. Daboll is managing his growth very intelligently. The deep ball will come back once the short game is mastered.
McDermott is building a winner. It's tangible. You can tell it's a culture of earning it, not waiting for a few stars to bail us out. This bodes well for our rivalry with the Pats who rely on culture over talent
