RedZone...bleh. We continue to struggle in the RedZone with a 47.06% success rate. As explained in previous entries, keep in mind that a TD outside of the 20, like Sam Aiken's 81 yarder against Miami, does not count towards RedZone numbers. Under 20 numbers are good when you want to know how a team performs in a "compressed" situation, when there's less room to maneuver. And, as you may already know, a field goal inside the 20 is a RedZone "Fail".
This past week against Miami, the biggest RedZone "Fail" was a Tom Brady pick in the right-hand corner of the end zone. Yet again, we find Brady forcing the ball to Randy Moss. 2nd down and goal-to-go, Brady lofts a pass to Moss that Miami CB Vontae Davis, 5 inches shorter than Moss, manages to pluck out of the air. a) the ball should've been thrown higher where the 6-4 Moss could out reach Davis or b) it should've been to Wes Welker or Benjamin Watson. How about pounding the rock? Any way, second guessing...
