“Difficult game for the Patriots. They showed mental toughness, but no physichal toughness. Griffins were clearly the tougher team on the field...
...during all drives!

Firing the strength and conditioning coach was maybe not the right move. It could be on the players after all. (Former conditioning coach rehired to lesser capacity until the matter is investigated.)

Team suffered brutal loss. Mike Adams big body consumed all the medicine needed to save his life, and when Jake Matthews body fall to the ground, the apothecary could not help anymore. He was the single most important part of the team, but he had a history with injuries. There was minimum 3 times before when he required medical help. Lets hope his replacement(s) will be sturdier, and absorb more punishment.

Highlights from Patriots point of view:
- Despite injuries, managed to stop the stall in the 1st half.
- Du to injuries, and the mass Diving Tackle on the opposition siede, Patriots could not complete a stall in 2nd half.
- Gilmore failed to complete a critical block that was needed to score at the end of 1st half. (Despite 2 assists, and coaching.)
- Gilmore succeeded to save the 2nd Griffins score at the end of the game when dodged out of Tackle/DivingTackle zone and mark the ball carrier.
- Flynn did almost everything what was asked of him successfully. That includes scoring, blitzing, blocking, assisting, passing. Failed a dodge in the 1st in non critical situation though.

On to the Classics.”
