What killed the Pats were mistakes, like Edelman dropping a pass where he had a key first down and room to run. Or losing a receiver in their coverage on THE key Titan third down. It was a collection of mistakes that killed them - which is uncharacteristic for a Belicheck team.
The other thing was the lack of weapons for Brady other than Edelman finally caught up to them and bit them. If Brady comes back look for the Pats to pursue retooling the receiver corps and getting a pass catching TE again.
You still have to tip your hat to what Henry did. 200+ all purpose yds against one of the best defenses in the league in one of the toughest places to win on the road. Especially in the postseason.
