The Five Best Plays from the 2013 Patriots season
Agree/disagree?

Talib’s coming out party with a fourth-down breakup
Brady finds Thompkins for comeback win vs. Saints
Blount caps off the Bills and the season with another 30+ TD run
New England’s ability to sell those fakes led to Brady completing 92-of-153 play-action passes this year, all of which have seemed to have a clear point. According to ProFootballFocus.com, only Denver’s Peyton Manning and Drew Brees threw more passes following a play-action fake during the regular season.

It’s unclear what will happen if an opposing defense takes Edelman out of a playoff game. Brady has trouble looking Edelman off at times.
Obviously Edelman is Brady’s most dependable target, but it would help the passing game if the other wide receivers, running backs and tight ends were more involved. Edelman had another strong game, but he might not be there for Brady eventually.
If I’m a defensive coordinator in this playoffs playing the Pats, I’m taking away Edelman and making the Patriots beat us with anyone else. Yes, the run game looked good against the Bills, but will the Pats be willing to run it like that in the playoffs? I’d challenge them to.
