I also will agree on the team aspect of winning.
Corey did not play in Pitt, had he played it might have been a different game. If I remember correctly Randall Gay got burned for the 1st touchdown, after replacing Law. If Law had been in the secondary, do you honestly think that would have been a TD? I admit that the Pats had a lousy game, and had like 3 fumbles, and 2 interceptions. The Steelers were on the ball, and took advantage of the turnovers.
In the Miami game, the turning point was the Rodney Harrison penalty in the end zone. IMO when that happened it was a momentum change, Miami was able to score and make it a 28-23 ball game. Brady then fumbled trying to make a play, as he was being sacked. If he had connected like the week before everyone would have been calling him a god, instead they hung him out to dry for 1 bad play. Then Troy Brown, a wide reciever playing as a corner got burned in the end zone for a td. Now had the Pats secondary been healthy we would not have had a wideout playing corner.
I am now going to my imitation of Bill Belicheck:
The past is the past, we had a couple of bad games on the way to our 2nd 14-2 season. (Only done by 3 other teams by the way), We are gonna put that in the past, and focus on our upcoming game. We have some tough competition ahead of us.
