But the 3rd & 1 at the 7 was just a terrible play call by McDaniels. After two power runs by Blount, they went with a Tank formation (2 TE’s, 2 RB’s) and split Aaron Dobson out wide, and threw the ball. So with all their skill guys healthy, they went pass with Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman and Shane Vereen… all guys with noses for the 1st down marker… on the sidelines in favor of Mathew Mulligan, Blount and James Develin, whom no one has to cover. Maybe it was a designed run. Maybe Brady audibled because Carolina loaded the box and it’s not on McD. All I know is that settling for 3 there was where the game was decided.
