The OFFICIAL Patriots vs. Saints Post-Game Thread

[DaBruinz]

This is the thread for all your comments following the Pats/Saints Game.

McDaniels really needs to stop abandoning the parts of the game plan that work. Line the RUNNING GAME. Ridley was doing excellent and, instead of running the ball during when they were down by 1, they went with 4 straight passing attempts and got nothing. Also, the passing plays that they gave Brady stunk during that drive.

Mayo, Talib and Amendola getting hurt isn't good. The play where Amendola received the concussion, Bush should have been flagged because he led with his helmet and hit, helmet to helmet, which is against the rules this year.

The pass-blocking for Brady was bad and got worse when Cannon went in. Not sure what the deal was with him but he blew one so badly that it led directly to the Brady sack.

I'm done defending Dobson. Rookie or not, you can only watch a WR drop so many passes on his hands before you conclude that he sucks.

I've also completely lost faith in this offenses ability to perform in the second half. A lot of that is on the receivers, but a lot of it is on Brady as well. He doesn't perform in the 4th quarter with any consistency anymore. Sucks, but that's where we are. I honesty think we're past the 'he can get it done regardless of who is around him" part of his career. He needs to be surrounded with better weapons to make up for the fact that he isn't the player that he used to be. His accuracy on the deep ball is completely shot and his consistency on what used to e routine passes has been notably absent

Injuries are going to derail this team here soon...it's getting bad


And we play the jets next week....all is well

I'm wondering when people can legitimately start to question Bill Belichick - GM and Josh McDaniels? Further to that fact, Tom Brady needs to be questioned in 2013. He's been poor.

things we should target next offseason.

A legit #1 CB Talib is an excellent player, but soon as he goes out of defense Secondary falls apart

WR:
At this point defending amendola is just counter productive, I gave him enough chances, the dude doesnt shy away from hard hits and because of that he takes way more damage then he should, looked like a concussion doubt we see hime next week. I like thompkins and Dobson, but Thompkins cant seem to stay on his feet, and dobson cant seem to make easy catches. Edelmen is good at what he does but hes just not Elite at reciever.

TE:
We need someone to counter gronk.

DL: With wilfork getting up in age, and tommy kelly on a short term contract we need more depth.

Close game, but way to many missed opportunities.

People can say Brady isn't getting old...but his decision making is getting old

 

[fair catch fryar]

Wow Brady. WTF was that?

 

[andrewgarrr]

Talking about next offseason after Week 6. Is this Jacksonville? Cleveland?

C'mon. It'll get better... Right?

OH bull*****!

Tom brady over throws receivers all game andf you single out dobson? WhAT ABOUT THOSE WIDE OPEN DANNY AND THOMPKINS WOULD BE TOUCHDOWNS??

Tom is playing bad right now

 

[slash83]

**** Amendola, **** Dobson, **** Blount, **** the defense for giving up a td on 3rd and 20. This team is ****** soft, not ******* clutch on either side.

 

[Joker]

QB's tend to make more bad decisions when their offensive weapons are broken or else devoid of skills...that said, far to many FG's in the red zone today.

These injuries are crippling...each one is key. Hats off to the Saints...they won the war of attrition today.

 

[juny]

ugh,

* brady & amendola missing a sure TD
* horrible goal line play calls
* not punting at the end?
* even more injuries to key players

BUT
KT saves the day!!!!!

Brady is playing incredibly poorly given his capabilities but you can't blame him when the receivers drop multiple catches that an average Joe off the street could make.

Truthfully, the biggest issue and we've seen it year in year out is Josh McDaniels and the run game.

 

[patsfanboy]

Can we get a compensatory pick for wes ? Because amendola might not offset anything.

Would be nice huh?

 

[slash83]

Mayo is out, Talib prob has a serious injury, and Amendola is a frekin sissy.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Over/Under on how many weeks this place will be intolerable?

I'm putting it at 1.5.

 

[andrewgarrr]

My ****ing God.

 

[upstater1]

I am out of my mind happy right now.

Brady is the man
