We didn't run the ball well against New Orleans and we beat them. The Pats did a good job of disguising coverages and pressuring Goff and it worked. We also didn't block very well. Saying it this had happened, or but for his knee is nothing more than speculation. What if Kupp had played?. What if they called PI in the Saints game? What if we wore the away jerseys?
Gurley's knee didn't cost us the game. Every little thing we did wrong from McVay and the players on down - and everything the Pats did right was the difference in the game. And, really, the difference in any game.
