Yes, our guy maded a bone head play but what one earth where they doing running the football on 3rd and 16?That tells me they have no trust in Cassel and i thought he played good.The first time that BB was outcoached in awhile!!
 
I blame the coaches too. Ridiculous play calling.
 
I agree...McDaniels needs t go. Freaking Thomas...THAT was freaking ridiculous!
 
Absolutely horrific play calling and coaching gaffes tonight by the Pats. They played scared all night long on offense and it lost them a game that the Pats should have won easily if they didn't play so frightened.
 
It was like they forgot everything that went right in the gameplans for the Rams and Broncos game because they needed to do something crazy for the Colts, and they fell flat on their face as a result.

I blame belichick more than McDaniels, BB is the one who blew two time outs.

They had a decent game plan that was working..but then we lost the challenge and burned our last time out in the 3rd qtr.
 
LIke I said in my rant post.. Colts had 3 starting CB's.. WHy couldn't they go deep on them.. One of the starters was on the street 5 days ago..

Madden said something that was half right.. Moss took Sanders out of the game.. I disagree, Sanders took away MOss.. And the best way to get that match up on our side is to move MOss in the slot and motion him right down the middle.. MY GOD. Horrible offensive game plan.. Just PISS POOR..
 
My problem was the 3rd and 16?They could have picked up yards but they ran a running play?What a joke.

They played not to get embarrased and they won but they didnt get the more important W.
 
This loss is on the coaches for sure. You can't pin it on Dave Thomas.
 
I'm one of McDaniels biggest critics but put the blame on BB.

Awful waste of challenge and timeout
Bad decision to go for 2 (even though we would've lost anyways with 1)
Not going for 4th and inches. If he didn't call TO Cassel had that easily.
His defense couldn't stop sh!t
 
The drop by Gaffney was a TD then the killer penalty on Thomas that what loss us the game. I have to wonder if you guys watch these games.
 
I agree. How dare McDaniels devise a brilliant gameplan that the Colts had no answer for! Where were the 3 and outs? Where were the sacks? That is why the Pats lost the game, they were far too effective on offense.

They knew they were in 4 down territory and thought the Colts would be overplaying the pass. It wasn't a bad call at all. Just poor execution.

My complaint is all the screens to Welker. The play wasn't there all game long and yet they kept going back to it over and over.

Having said that, our offense played a great game. 140 yards rushing. 34 minutes TOP, only 1 punt all game. Our offense drove down the field all game.

It's just too bad Gaffney decided to impersonate Reche Caldwell and Thomas got stupid. Those two plays cost us the game. A game we had no business losing.
 
I am watching the damn game but this coaching staff played scared tonight.The colts couldnt even stop us and they ran some mumbo jumbo in the end.
 
Coaching was not the top form, but the playing calling was not horrible. Thomas's error was. If I was BB on Tuesday when everyone else has the day off Thomas would be doing wind sprints.
 
Thats bull!!!You gotta throw the damn football on 3rd and 16.I got sick of these running plays.The colts's defense was swiss cheese all night and this team seemed to not trust Cassel in the end!

Yeah, how dare they call a running play when the draw was consistently picking up more yards than the passing play. They should have gone for the endzone and gotten the sack. Then it would have forced the Pats to punt.
 
Hey Robo, give me a break.You dont keep making that call.Cassel was getting into a nice rhythm throwing the football and they run that crap.That shows me that these coaches still dont believe in Cassel including BB.
 
The offense, without Brady, Maroney, Morris and Jordan was able to move the ball up and down the field against the Colts, and was able to absolutely dominate the time of possession. The Patriots had the ball for more than 34 minutes. As a result, Manning and company had only 7 possessions all game.

You people complaining about McDaniels are being silly.
