Pats beat themselves - New England Patriots Forums

2 bad INTs to Moss.

Poor playcalling on both of those. Couldve been check downs for 1sts. Cromartie is as fast, or faster than Moss when it comes to straight line speed. He struggles coming in and out of cuts as evident by Mondays game when he got torched. We made no attempt to exploit this. That's the coaches fault.

Also, Pats got bullied and did nothing about it. Let their star WR Wes Welker take a dirty hit and sat back and watched. Let their young CB get taunted twice and sat back and watched.

Ninkovich's new nickname is the Invisible Man. It's time to put Cunningham in as our starter and keep him their. Let him take his lumps and gain experience. He atleast helped cause the Sack on Sanchez. The only time I saw Ninkovich was when he tried arm tackling LT and failed.

Sanchez is a decent QB but I'm calling it now. He doesnt have the toughness for this league. If he was wincing and rolling around after that perfectly clean G.Warren hit, I cant wait to see how he takes a hit like the one Flacco did on Monday.

I disagree. The Jets had a pretty good part in taking Brady and BB behind the woodshed.

That's BS. Jets won the game. I agree with you that this group is obviously soft and that is the main reason they can't win on the road and fold in close games. The only real tough guys I see on D are Chung, Spikes, and Wilfork. Cunningham IMO is more of a down lineman at this point and isnt' ready for coverage responsibilities that he would have as an OLB.

No we didn't. The offense may have shat the bed, but our passing defense is horrible. Literally, Jets WRs > Pats CBs.

It was bad playcalling and decision making on the Pats/Bradys behalf.

Better team won today. As much as it pains to say, it's true. Darius Butler sucked. The defense was gassed. The long-ball-itis is going to kill this team. Enough. Screen for crissakes. We used to be the best screen team in the league - then they decide to stop, Why?

I don't understand it at all. We play an explosive screen offense with success when we're up 7, but as soon as we're down a couple points Brady starts lobbing it into coverage.

Seriously. It is what it is. (Where have I heard that before?

) There is all kinds of things to be down about the Pats for in this one, especially after looking so good in the 1st quarter, but open your eyes. This division is a dog fight this year between 3 teams. We've been spoiled for too long.

The pats better figure out how to get tough in the run game and use the TE or their going to be "beating themselves" allot this year.....
