Yeah. After reading the post I went back and watched the tape. We ran almost every play on offense out of three formations. Every run play was run with the 5 down linemen and a TE, usually with a 2 back set left and right of the QB. The pass plays were three WRs grouped on one side or the other, no motion, and they made sure that no one, TE's or RB's, helped the o-line on blocking (except an occasional chip by the RB). The defense never disguised anything. They showed thier blitz, let Brady adjust, and then came anyway. They wanted to isolate a defender man on man against the TE but got outplayed. Gibbs confirmed this in his press conference.
No excuse for special teams play. That was awful.
