Patriots coaches dropped the ball as well against Seahawks – Sports – The Boston Globe

As always we’re giving Greg Bedard the final word on the Seahawks before completely turning the page on the Jets. The breakdown of the head-scratching coaching decisions in this one gives some good context outside of the standard “our secondary sucks, we can’t close games” story lines. The thing about bad coaching games from the Pats though, don’t expect those to continue.

Here’s a little nugget on the pressure:

On the eight plays of 15 yards or more the Patriots gave up, Russell Wilson averaged four seconds on his release time. That’s an eternity. The Patriots blitzed on 27.3 percent of the 33 dropbacks. That’s a lot for them. They had five of their 12 total quarterback pressures (41.7 percent) on blitzes.
