to assess talent levels......IMO actual talent is determined over a period of time against different circumstances. If indeed the pats had better overall talent why was that game tied 3-3 with less then 1 Qtr. left? Yes our talent was better then they had....talent however is useless if not used properly....out playing someone has nothing to do with the talent the team has....it has to do with utilizing what you have and executing that plan......the pats did that...we did not......nothing there is about talent......
All teams have talent...it's a pro game....some obviously have more than others, but again teams with less talent can beat a more talented team with proper planning and execution at that single game in time....IMO that is exactly what happened in those 3 hours in Atlanta.....
