Cry me a river Coach. Your defense got torched all day long and you’re just looking for excuses. Be a man about it and admit you got flat out beat by the Broncos and move on.

What I saw is a Patriot defense that never blitzed. Manning knew he had all day to find a receiver, and all day he found receivers.

Was the loss of Talib so great that the Patriots had to keep all their secondary down field to protect against the pass?

If so then this is down to the owner, GM, and coach who hadn't hired a backup for such a supposedly important position.

26 points was the Bronco's 3rd lowest points of the season. I'd say the Patriots did an excellent job on defense where it counts.
