bdb, it may have to do with the play calling as well. i do not understand whay every route is 15yds, or deeper.... however, collins does hold the ball for a long time, and he does not make decisions very quickly. that 9 step drop on the fumble play almost cost me a stroke.
sorry, been a Raiders fan since i was 7, and i do not have a lot of paitence.
i do not feel the def can be blaimed for tonight. the offense gave them a short field for most of the 2nd half and have not held on to the ball very long at all. the big play to moss only took 12 sec. the time of possession has got to really be in the favor of the pats.
