Bad tackling, defensive execution, and simply being physically outplayed in the trenches were all factors that led to Patriots’ 1st quarter woes against the Broncos in week 15. In fact, the bad tackling continued for both teams throughout much of the game, although the Patriots really cut down their struggles in this area after the first quarter which helped them significantly. Still, it looks like tackling, such a fundamental football concept, is going to be one of the major factors to watch in the Patriots-Broncos playoff rematch this Saturday.

Bill and Josh, reunited and it feels so good.

Good stuff from Rich here. Should be sub-headed “Why Biting on Play Action Can Bite You in the Ass”.
The Patriots will have their hands full trying to limit the Broncos and their big plays as they’ve been at the bottom of the league in big plays of 20 yards allowed. In fact, the Patriots have allowed 89 plays of 20 yards this season, which is the most in (at least) the past 15 seasons. That averages out to 5.56 of those big plays every game- although only 5 touchdowns have come from those large plays. 5 plays of 20 yards was all Tebow needed to upend the Steelers; the Patriots had better take him seriously.

This is all I’ll post about any controversy surrounding Josh McDaniels returning to the Patriots.
As bizarre as Josh McDaniels’ return to New England midplayoffs may appear to folks in Denver, there is precedent for such a move.
And that precedent was here in Denver.
Mike Shanahan was fired as the head coach of the Los Angeles Raiders after going 1-3 in the first four games in 1989. Less than two weeks later, on Oct. 16, 1989, Shanahan was back in Denver as the team’s quarterbacks coach.
All Patriots present for Tuesday’s full pads practice
Great news out of Foxboro this morning with every Patriot in attendance of the teams practice today, which was held in full pads. This includes Logan Mankins, who missed last week with a knee injury (reported MCL sprain) and Sebastian Vollmer who’s been held to just 6 games this season after battling back and ankle injuries.
There’s no question that the offensive line is vitally important to any Super Bowl run the Patriots may put together. In the last three playoff losses protection has been an issue in every one of them, and without solid line play the Pats won’t be going very far.
Having Mankins back was vital, but if Vollmer is able to go as well it will be a huge boost. While Nate Solder and Marcus Cannon have had solid rookie years, Vollmer’s playoff experience would be helpful both in the game and in preparations this week.
