I mean, I would assume Carolina wanted to stop him...
Every defense wants to stop plays, doesn't mean it's automatic just because it is the focus of the defense.
I think the "down year" part is due to the historic close game record (similar to the Bills turnover margin last year...bound to regress). They certainly were 15 and 2, but not all 15 and 2 teams are the same. That's what I take from the comment.
That's the parity of the NFL. NE is playing a 4th place schedule, and their record shows it (not to say that aren't good (they are), but they also benefit from a very, very light schedule).
Ok Jerome lol. If you watched this team this year and think everything will be just fine, that's great for you. But you are blind if you cant see how poor this roster and coaching is.
Lol ok big guy. First it was 4 and 1, then 4 and 2. Look, you can think what you want but this team has 2 good players out of 53. And KC has earned the benefit of the doubt, are you kidding.
Allen has always been a little bit of a headcase. He wasnt the last couple years, but its always just under the surface. He gets that thousand yard stare on the sidelines and you know he is in his head.
I would fire McD now. And fire Beane at season's end. This season is lost anyway. McD ended the drought. But Allen is the reason we have been very good to great throughout the last 5 years. The front office is a joke. The coaches never seem to have the right plan. Its a tire fire.
