2013 NFL playoffs — New England Patriots show common threads in playoff losses – ESPN Boston

Common threads, anyone? The three that stand out are not meeting the physical match, poor clutch play and a defense that might keep the game close, but doesn’t deliver the plays to win it. When it comes to physicality, it showed up most Sunday inside the red zone, where the Patriots scored one touchdown in four trips and the Ravens scored four touchdowns in four trips, which Belichick cited as a key to the game. When the space gets tight, it makes sense that the more powerful team often wins. And the Bernard Pollard hit that knocked out running back Stevan Ridley, dislodging the ball from his grasp, highlighted which team was playing with more force.

Have Gronk, Will Travel: Patriots to play four playoff teams on road in 2013, including Ravens

We won’t know the schedule until mid-April, but the Patriots opponents are already set, and wow it’s a tough slate.

The Broncos are the only playoff team that they will host, but they’ll have to face four other playoffs teams on the road. This includes a trip to Baltimore.

Playing in Atlanta is never easy and the Texans will be excited to get a shot at the Pats in Houston. Then there’s the always tough Mike Zimmer defense in Cincinnati.

Not an easy road, and that doesn’t even include the divison.

Scary… but I guess they say low man wins for a reason. Really looks like it was Ridley who delivered the hit. Pollard takes it on the side.

Not bad if you don’t count when the Pats D went into “invisible mode” from the late third quarter into the early fourth when they gave up three straight touchdown drives.

Brady is 7-7 in the playoffs since that 10-0 start. He didn’t have more than one interception in any playoff game during that 10-win streak; he has six multiple-interception games since then, including Sunday. Brady is still one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time – maybe the best ever. Most quarterbacks don’t get the chance to get beat deep in the playoffs every year, because they’re not consistent enough to get their teams that far that often. But over the last eight seasons Brady’s playoff disappointments have piled up and are overshadowing his great playoff moments.
