It's all part of the plan, my aoorentice, Dum dum Dum, dum te dum, dum te dum. For every "quality control" assistant he has breaking down their opponents, you can bet he has a few breaking down their OWN offensive tendencies. You are correct in your observations though. I believe he didn't want to have his rookie QB turning his back to the play, as you have to do when running play action passes from under C. But NOW we are 13 games into the season, and its time to unleash the McKrakken, and run some stuff that we've not done much of.Condensed space
Shortish rookie QB whose forte is touch passes, not lasers
New weapons still adapting
No James White
Automatica Folk
Clearly BB & Co are offensively risk adverse knowing their stingiest points/game defense (15.4 pts) will likely create more possessions/advantageous field positions
My pet peeve with the offensive play calling: Lack of first down, play action pass attempts... especially when the run has been established.
The 2nd (and 3rd) and longs drive me crazy
I am encouraged NE has minimized shooting themselves in the foot with mind-numbing penalties in the red zone earlier this season.
I am equally encouraged NE has been expanding Jonnu Smith's role as the season has progressed. The player is an athletic freak with the ball in his hands.
Early on, it appeared Jonnu was too sped up (like we see with rookie QBs). No question, Smith is on the right track and I expect AHern type usage when he completely settles in and the NE offense gets fully up to speed in the years to come with all its new parts fully integrated.
Pats currently #10 in points scored/gameThe Pats offense is ranked 26th because after the first six weeks where they turned the ball over, had an abnormal amount of penalties and frankly were one of the worst blocking teams in the league they were previously ranked 32nd… dead last.
Since the Jets game, where they “got right,” they have been substantially better. Currently the Pats are ranked 8th in points per drive scored… so that makes them a top ten offense.
Numbers can be misleading. The Chiefs formerly were dead last in turnovers and fumbles, since they fixed their issues they have won six straight games. Currently they’re ranked 29th in turnovers, does anyone take any comfort in that ranking when they play the Chiefs now?
Mac and the offense can improve across the board, but the red zone isn’t some massive issue because the team has improved immensely.
The Pats are ranked 8th in points per drive, it a better measurement for offense than total points.Pats currently #10 in points scored/game
It can be argued playing in a windstorm and scoring only 14 pts knocked them down from #5 to #10
Regardless, the Pats +150 point differential is 16 points better than #2 team Buffalo
Does it matter that Meyers has more throwing TD's than receiving TD's?? Does it matter that they have Red Zone issues?? Or that Johnnu Smith does not have a lot of TD's?? What does matter is that they are winning, BB & his brain trust have probably noticed.
Seems like that’s not uncommon with the slot guys. I remember a year Edelman had like 1000 yards receiving and only 2-3 TDsI agree, but it is weird how hard it is for Meyers to score.
Mac doesn't need to put the team on his shoulders and throw lasers in tight windows, not yet at least. That time will come.
Yeah points per game are not all offense. The pats are pretty middle of the pack on offensive points.The Pats are ranked 8th in points per drive, it a better measurement for offense than total points.
If JC Jackson takes an interception to the house it gets lumped into total points scored. Not an accurate measurement of offensive efficiency.

No lie. It was pretty bad. Receivers can’t get open. Henry or bust.

Isaiah Wynn/Lose proves, yet one more time, that he is N.O.T. a starting-caliber LT on a legit contender. Period. Moving him inside to LG, Trent Brown to LT and Onemenu PERMANENTLY to RT should’ve been finalized during the bye week.
I had a feeling that on Saturday night Mac would either Emerge or be Exposed… His command at the LOS is especially disappointing, between the delay of game penalties and his lack of it enabling his OLmen to get jumpy…
…though he isn’t being given much help from his two choke-ass b!tch coaches…
