Slip,
Watched that game & what impressed me a lot is how physical a team they've become...I love the scheme they've got for their defensive backs...almost looks to me like they leave the middle open, dare QBs to throw to wide receivers cutting through there and then blast!them when they catch it...like that hit Terrell Buckley laid on that guy across from left to right...I've noticed that by the 4th quarter opposing receivers don't seem all that enthused about going across the middle anymore...whatever possessed Pete Carroll to make Tebucky Jones chase after super fast wide receivers when he could have played him at safety, his natural position, and had Milloy & Jones back there as safeties coming up to blast guys...
Remember how the really physical teams used to pound on them? Like when they went to the Super Bowl and Ditka's Bears wiped up the field with them...? No more...now they're dishing it out. Is there any other team around more physical than the Pats? I can't think of any...damn, they're fun to watch...
Patriots?
