MM has to relish these moments when he goes up against a coach like Belichick. I thought one of MM's greatest games was that 2010 meeting. Nobody gave that team a chance and they were double digit underodgs heading in, and he out-schemed Belichick's defense with a backup QB. They came up short but I thought MM had that team about as well prepared as could be. Came right down to the last play, with Flynn just unable to get rid of the ball in time before he got hit
He did the same thing last night. No team really knew how to attack NE's defense ever since Browner returned from suspension, yet MM didn't flinch and gameplanned to pick apart other aspects of it before FORCING the Pats to change things up. That was an incredibly well executed offensive strategy by him and the team yesterday. The only negative was the red zone production...but they marched up and down the field each and every time vs that defense. The game could have been a lot uglier for NE if the Pack could convert just 1-2 of those red zone trips into TD's. They simply had no answer
