@Region Philbis,
You and I must have been watching different games Region.
In the game that I watched yesterday, the Patriots were ahead most of the game. The Patriots had over a 60% third down efficiency and outperformed the Cardinals on both sides of the ball. Garopollo marched down the field in the fourth quarter when he needed to.
For most of the game, the Patriots simply outplayed the Cardinals. If you only watched the last 2 minutes of the game, you would have seen the missed field goal. The Cardinals were damn lucky to get that chance. They had the opportunity to steal the game (after being controlled the rest of the game).
But the Patriots controlled most of the game except for a couple of lapses. If it weren't for a couple of turnovers, the Cardinals never would have had the last minute chance to steal the game.
