I just want to say that I was wrong about the game plan for the Colts. I had suggested that we do the opposite of what they expect, and use the passing game.
It turned out that we COULD run on them, as we did in the first half, but then in the second half, we stopped running.
Me being wrong didnt hurt the team...but what DID hurt the team was that Josh McDaniels was wrong, too. He did what I thought would work, and it was wrong... as he has been wrong, most of the season...
I was dead wrong in my accessment but McDaniels being wrong, it killed us.
McDaniels is far too young, too inexperienced, to be in that position and is contantly being out guessed, and out coached by opposing defensive coordinators.
The Colts adjusted in the 2nd half, McDaniels did not, and he was caught flat footed.....
Even when he did go to the pass, his play selection of the routes to be run were horrendous. AND I DID NOT SEE ONE PLAY ACTION CALLED THE ENTIRE GAME, NOT ONE.
McDaniels is the crux of the problem with this team.
That being said, Brady needs to get his head out of his ass and start playing football again.
