you know, it used to be under Wandestett (sp) and Johnson, we would start out strong and lose half of November and all of December. Now under Saban we're starting out like we dont know wtf we're doing, then beat good or decent teams the rest of the way.
This year we lost to Houston, then turn around a few weeks later and beat an undefeated Bears team, the Chiefs when they were surging with Damon Huard, a half-decent Vikings team and now the Pats.
Now if we could just put the two together......
well cant rip the Colts to bad since the Patriots lost as well but at least New England has a run defense. The colts run defense is just pathetic and thats why they will get knocked out in there first round or the playoffs, funny how history repeats its self.
As far as the Dolphins they always play New England tough, its no surprise they they lose to them once and beat them once, it usually happens ever yr. Brady just has a tough time w/ that defense he had no protection either, Taylor spent more time in the back field then Dillion did. At least they only had 1 turn over this game. Regardless they are still not playing Patriots football in December. It did not help w/ Maroney and Harrision out but they have won much bigger games w/ players being out before.
