I just don't understand the play calling in OT. Maybe somebody with a better memory can help on this. Why did the Pats go pass happy and neglect to try to run the ball at all? Did the Jets stack the box? Why no swing or screen passes?
In all my years of watching football, I've never seen that call. I didn't even know it existed.
Not only was it a bizarre call, but pushing a player upfield had zero effect on that play.
My only thought is that a referee's call should never dictate the outcome of a game, but this one did.
Roses go to:
Chandler Jones - 11 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFLs, 2 QB hits. Except for the 15 yard penalty, great day.
Fix this offense by firing Josh McDaniels
Fix this defense by making a trade or 2 happen
The rule is stupid but C.Jones still broke the rules!
The penalty was on Chris Jones....
Improve the quality of this board by banning this **** nugget.
Roses go to:
Gronkowski- Welcome back big guy. Couldn't ask much more of you given Brady's accuracy and Tom's reliance on you. 8 catches for 114 yards.
Chandler Jones - 11 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFLs, 2 QB hits. Except for the 15 yard penalty, great day.
Chris Jones- There is no way I'm going to give you grief for a penalty I haven't seen called this year on anyone, anywhere. 10 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 TFLs, 2 QB hits. Very good day Chris...keep up the good work.
McCourty - some great secondary play from the former CB saving a TD.
Ryan - Pick 6....some good secondary work.
Raspberries go to:
Tom Brady- pick 6 to kill Pat's momentum. Poor accuracy on the long ball. Two fumbles. Looking very unBrady-like today.
Cole - learn to tackle....just awful. When you get burned twice by the opposing team's QB running instead of passing that says a whole hell of a lot about you.
Offensive line (in particular Solder, Wendell, and Vollmer) - up until you decided to play in the 4th Quarter, you were truly offensive. Didn't open up the running game and played lazy in pass protection.
McDaniels - If he gets any more predictable i'm going to scream. Stop abandoning the run!
Ninkovich - Helloooooo....anybody home? One sack in 7 games? No QB hits, no sacks today....you were invisible.
Rookie receivers - Looked like rookies again today.
The penalty was on Chris Jones....
A problem is Brady is failing massively on his deep throws. Are his receivers screwing up that badly? Throughout the season there's been many open guys downfield...you can only blame them for so long...Brady just isn't hitting them. Sucks to see.
The penalty was on Chris Jones....
I've never seen it called either...illegal pushing into the pile. I heard Dan Deirdorf say that it's a new rule this year. Absolutely horrendous game deciding call (rule).
The thing is that I didn't even really seen him "push into the pile" much, if at all, anyway.
I'm surprised people aren't complaining about that more here, because it was just like getting robbed.
Your NY Jets MVP
I'm sure that there's going to be a lot of really bad posts made in this thread, so I'm just going to take a post from the game thread, modify it and add a bit at the end, and them I'm outta here so the two extreme sides can lob grenades at each other:
The Patriots defense is missing both of its NFL starting-level DTs. It's missing it's best LB, who happens to be the only LB capable of covering against the pass. It's missing its CB1, which leads to the CB3 and S2 being exposed.
The Patriots offense is missing it's best WR. It's dealing with a TE who's playing his first game of the year. It's missing it's only RB receiving weapon. It's got a pair of rookie WRs who are inconsistent, at best, and who struggle mightily against man coverage. It's got a center who is not starting quality going against an excellent pair of DTs. It's got a LT who's been struggling for much of this young season.
All this, and the team is coming off a last-second win in an emotional game, against an excellent opponent.
With that in mind, why were people posting as if they were shocked that this game was a struggle and ended in a loss?
Now, having done that, I'll just make one quick rant:
It took an offseason of incredible incompetence on the part of the "GM" to get this team to the point where the greatest offensive lineups in history have turned into this steaming turd.
Congrats Bill! You've taken the best team in the league and turned it into a mediocrity, in just one season. I sure as hell hope your changes improve by the factor of about 1000 that they'll need to in order to get this team just back to where it should have been.
This forum is unbearable after a loss.
Interior lineman on both sides of the ball blow. Brady locked on to Gronk. But most importantly:
WHY did the Pats not run the ball on the tying drive in the end if regulation? Three TOs means you can stop the clock as soon as the play is over.
