Exciting but sluggish first half overall for both teams.
Not a good sign that NE's offense seems to be stalling a lot more although the refs really didn't help us in that half (missed calls and that BS PI call to set up PIT's 2nd TD). Also Edelman has had like 2 big drops which is uncharacteristic of him (had 1 big one last week too).
NE has to come out and do something with the ball. I trust this defense (and Big Ben's mistakes) will keep us in it, but the offense has to start converting on their chances and scoring. If we need to, keep passing the ball or try some trickery, because these runs up the middle are predictably getting stuffed.
I think this 2nd half will tell us a lot about this team. If they falter and lose, I think it's a wild card team that wins one home game and that's it in the playoffs. If they make good adjustments, do well and win, they'll prove that they're probably at least going to the AFCCG (and obviously get a lot closer to clinching a first round bye)
