Are you confident in this coaching staff's ability to make halftime adjustments?

[TheGodInAGreyHoodie]

LOL. Homer.

So you think BB won 3 lombardis without being able to make a half time adjustment?

 

[Brock Samson]

LOL. Homer.

Good gimmick.

Just because the Pats did make good adjustments does not mean that they do now.

That was a while back with a much better coaching staff
This second half cancer has been evident for too long
It is a coaching problem
Period

PS
In spite of what others may think we need a running game
I don't mean top notch Cory Dillin clock killun but.....
You have to mix it up beyond Brady to Moss jump balls

 

[Mack Herron]

It would be naive to think he does not miss Weiss, Crennel, McDaniels...
It was not all BB then, and it is not all BB now.

Did you see any adjustments today? Try to stay on the same page.

I haven't seen this staff make halftime adjustments in three years.

They've been worse but to say they haven't made any in three years is a over-exaggerating.

I recall them going into the halftime tied/losing against the Panthers (Week 14) & Bills (Week 1), respectively, last year then winning both games.

Last year they blew 4 games (@ Jets, @ Broncos, @ Colts, @ Dolphins) that they had a lead going into halftime.

 

[WhiteWesWelker88]

not at all.


O'Brien has to go btw. We can find better.

 

[NickOGS20]

I am not going to judge BB on the basis of one loss. Overall the coach has shown that he is outstanding at making half time adjustment.

I seriously wonder how anyone who has been a Patriots fan for more than a few weeks could vote anything but yes. Or why this is even a poll.

It's not on the basis of one loss though is it? This has been a recurring problem for a while now.

 

[Brady_12]

This is a young d. Please give it time. Worried about the offense though...

 

[patsfan13]

Since Romeo and Weis left the ability of the staff to make adjustments has been very limited. Half Time Adjustments used to be a strength of the staff that is no longer the case. The JEts staff did a better job today.

True. Pats need real coordinators, Bill is in denial.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

Hell no, how could you be?

They weren't able to during the biggest game in franchise history (SB42) and haven't been since.

 

[homer alert]

Good gimmick.

Thanks, but candor isn't a gimmick. (That's an oxymoron.) I can be critical and still be a fan--the two aren't mutually exclusive.

I think the defense made an unfortunate adjustment just before halftime. On offense I think execution and talent were the issues, but the coaches aren't helping. The best talent wasn't executing consistently, particularly in the second half, and some of the talent on the field isn't really good enough to be. It's a 60 minute game whether you grabbed a one handed catch early or not. At least Randy acknowledged that. It's a 30 minute half whether you just went up by 7 on a flashy play or not. This team let up on defense after the second TD. The coaching staff let up too in a manner of speaking because they tend to not believe it when they see it. Bill looked befuddled throughout the second half, not angry or disappointed or stunned...befuddled like it never occurred to him they couldn't execute whatever offense or defense they chose to call...especially since Revis was gone.

Brady said it best, they couldn't make a play or make a stop, they sucked. They couldn't run the ball, they couldn't catch the ball, they couldn't convert on third down, they couldn't stop 'em on third down either. That's an effort fail. There were plays there to be made. I don't think he wasn't making the effort, but he can't convert if guys simply fail to execute.

What I don't have confidence in is this staff's ability to get these guys to make plays for 60 minutes or their ability to mask their inability to or their deficifiencies consistently.

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

I find it odd that when the Pats ran their 2 minute drill, they scored. Then when they weren't rushed (time), they can't score.

As far as halftime adjustments go, what halftime adjustments?

Your screen name is homer alert and you were calling the guy a homer - that's the gimmick. You should really only use that account to call out homers.

 

[Scouse Patriot]

What staff? We don't even have official Co'ordinators do we? When I first started really following the NFL and the Pats we had established positions and talent in them like Weis and Crennel, Mangini and McDaniels coming a few years later. It seems a whole different setup to what it was then, for me.

Good catch, but since you don't appear to be drinking with the Kool gang, we didn't have this conversation.

 

[Sean Pa Patriot]

we have not been able to make adjustments since 2001... any other questions...
