The average margin of victory in those instances is probably 18 points, and to think that we still had a chance. So there's a lot of good stuff in there. There's stuff that [was] very detrimental. Obviously we have to correct it, and we have to be able to move on.""
""It's never frustrating to coach it. It's frustrating to watch it," Vrabel said during his weekly Monday morning interview on WEEI's " The Greg Hill Show. " "You're in the moment. You're trying to keep everybody together. You're trying to get some stops. You're trying to focus on the situation," he explained."
The Patriots committed five turnovers and lost 21-14 to the Steelers in Week 3. Coaching was described as never frustrating while watching the mistakes was described as frustrating, with emphasis on keeping players together and focusing on situational stops.

Four of the five turnovers were fumbles, two by Rhamondre Stevenson, prompting a focus on both individual ball security and team protection, with a mandate to correct and move on.
