Message: [QUOTE="Full_Rebar, post: 1287701, member: 3530"] The fact that NE knew exactly what was coming, and had practiced for it, signals that it was a terrible play call. There was zero deception with the play and that's not what you want in that situation. The call needed a play-fake, roll-out, any kind of misdirection. Even a read option is something you'd prefer to see-test the Patriots to see if they will do their job in that situation or go all-in on stopping Lynch. If you have a very good secondary, you should have no problem giving Brady the ball and 30 seconds to try and get a tying FG when he can't just throw 6 yard quick outs/slants. [/QUOTE]
