Super Mario Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Anyone heard of Rob Gronkowski or Aaron Hernandez? AKA pass catching TEs? AKA Cover 2/Tampa 2 killers? Since dropping 2 safeties deep is perhaps one of the most common defensive formations, Bill Belichick brought in two hybrid TEs that can run down the seams. We've seen this over and over with good teams. Peyton Manning has/had Dallas Clark and Jacob Tamme who does this. Phillip Rivers has Antonio Gates.On the other hand, the Falcons refused to go out and grab Zach Miller, who could have stretched the field against the Cover 2. Tony Gonzalez is solid, but he is getting slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithful Falcon Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Yep, because they only allowed Pro Bowler Chad Henne to throw for over 400 yards on them. Edited September 18, 2011 by Faithful Falcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdzEyeView Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I definitely agree with you regarding your TE argument. That said, the Chargers blew this game with gazillion turnovers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 and Belichick has had how many draft picks over the past 2 years?The guy is the best HC since Walsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoism Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Why didn't the Falcons turn off salary-cap in the league settings and pick up every player this off-season? They are so stupid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savwboy9 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I am pretty sure I heard this same argument last year :ph34r: and the year before that :ph34r: and the year before that :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCFalcon Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Bellichick is a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampyMux12 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 You watch the game??? Chargers missed a 4th and goal on the 1, and turned the ball over three times in plus territory, twice in scoring position. The Patriots are good, but are definitely human.

BMoreFalconsFan09 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Turnover will kill you every time. Especially when a team like the Patriots can convert off this turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoFalcons Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 It is amazing how the Pats offense is able to move the ball so easily, with just plugging in no name players. They just click as a unit credited to a great system created by coaching and having the best qb in league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwhite Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 well we got T.D. from them,Big bill could take a special team coaching job.I'd take Brady too.ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ru_serious Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Funny thing is they have the most dink and dunk offense in the league. They are just so consistent. Brady is unreal.
