Here's the deal though everyone knows the defense is weak. The best asset the defense has is the offense. Andy Reid is the offensive coach. Belichik used the EXACT same defensive scheme he used against San Diego and Andy was totally unprepared. There's a reason teams rarely play that style of defense because they get TORCHED very easily. Andy is supposed to be an offensive guru and he has all these weapons and had no plan to use them against that scheme. 37 yards of offense in a half of football. Inexcusable. The defense played well enough to keep them in it, forcing 2 turnovers, but really the game was lost in the first half, particularly the first quarter, by the total lack of offensive preparation. You move the QB, move the receivers horizontally, bunch the receivers, bootleg, stack the receivers. There are 50 different ways to torch that scheme and Reid did none of them until a couple of times late in the game.
