Apparently the Pats just can't win on the road.  They have to win their 2 remaining home games (Carolina, Jacksonville) and they should be able to win @Bufallo but the way they're playing on the road who knows.  And even though Houston probably won't have anything to play for in week 17, they'll probably lose that game @Houston.  So 10-6 is looking likely.  They should win the AFC East and get a wild card home game.  There's an outside chance they could host the Steelers and if that happened they'd probably lose.  Their defense is so bad Big Ben would rip them to shreds.  Regardless, even if they won a playoff game at home they ain't winning any on the road.

I had hopes when they were minutes away from beating Indy.  Maybe that loss has been more damaging than I could've ever imagined.  The defense bounced back the next week AT HOME against the Jets but the last 2 games on the road they have been AWFUL.  And Bill doesn't know what to do on offense anymore.  He goes for it on 4th down sometimes, kicks it other times.  Seems like he's flipping a coin.  He's usually quite assertive, but he doesn't know what to do with this team.  They're a mystery.  They have ZERO pass rushers, which I was worried about heading into the season.  But I think it's been even worse than I thought it'd be.  Opposing QB's have all day back there to find the open man.  They made Chad Henne look like a Pro Bowler yesterday and he actually should've done even better.  He missed a bunch of wide open receivers.  With all that being said, Miami only scored 22 points, despite getting all those yards.  The vaunted New England offense should be able to put up more than 22 points against the Dolphins, and they didn't.  They opted to go for it on 4th and 1 from the 6 instead of kicking a field goal, that's 3 points right there (though I didn't disagree with the call).  Brady through a INT in the endzone (AGAIN) on 2nd and goal, that's 7 points there.  They are just leaving too many points on the field.  Plain and simple. 

One last thing, Randy Moss has been a non factor for the last 3 games.  He had a 58 yard TD catch to start off the game yesterday and then caught ONE ball the rest of the day.  He failed to make a block in the first half that could've given the Pats a first down on a screen play to Kevin Faulk.  I mean, his effort level to block was about 5%, just awful.  If he isn't getting the ball 10 times a game he gets disinterested.  He's a dynamic player who takes many plays off.
