its coaching decisions not talent holding back the D

You blame the coaches for McCourty leaving his man?

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Getting close to Tebow time. Come on D.

Better yet: a GRONKdown.

its coaching decisions not talent holding back the D

Of course

Our secondary with players like Slater and Brown would be starters on most teams

 

[robbomango]

Cue the collapsing defense......... and disappearing offense in 3..... 2...... 1.

and a blizzard of :bricks: posts........

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

Why can't it just be easy?

 

[ALP]

anderson is our best pass rusher right now

on 3rd and 18, after anderson sacks Tebow, he goes OUT

and our 3 guys get nowhere near Tebow on it, while our CB has a brain fart


wtf defense is back.....i wasnt missing it

 

[stcjones]

Lost track of his guy.

MCcourty did well with Merriweather and Chung playing alongside him.....when he doesn't have GOOD, relatively consistent players around him, he gets exposed for what he is ....which is a very average at best Cornerback.

 

[patfanken]

Third and 18

Mistake one: Not rushing at least 4 men. The idea here is to make him get it out of his hands quickly and make the tackle'
\
Mistake two. They were in zone coverage and Sergio was supposed to have the deep outside. However there was no one threatening McCourty in front of him, and he SHOULD have stayed with him deep. A bad mistake of judgement. Just an example of a young player who was so worried about doing "what he was supposed to do", he failed to do what his EYES told him what he should have done.

And ANOTHER reason why Sergio Brown should only be on the field on special teams

 

[Deus Irae]

its coaching decisions not talent holding back the D

Good comedy.


Hey, what coaching decision told McCourty to just lose his man?

 

[DefenseRules]

Not feeling quite as good as I did just 6 minutes ago....

I never felt confident. The defense should have continued to play the way it did in the 2nd quarter. I don't know what the hell this defensive coaching staff is thinking sometimes. They like keeping things interesting. But it would help if our defensive players executed on a more consistent basis. Those guys are jekyll and hyde.

 

[PatriotFan77]

are Pats gonna get TEBOWED?? ahaha this is ******ed

Hence the poor coaching, number one need in offseason, improve the damn coaching

 

[Wax Frog]

I was at least hoping that third score would be exchanged for some clock... a rare long kickoff return would be nice here

 

[Sean Pa Patriot]

third and 18 and we give up a pass by the number 1 draft pick unreal... lets hope the o does not go into the shell

 

[SVN]

always worried about crazy crap like turnovers and stuff with denver in the 4th quarter.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

**** tebow



O needs to do something..can't let denver back in it

 

[Patriot_in_NY]

D yes...O needs a nice long drive..even if they get no points

I'd prefer points, but a nice long drive without points would be an acceptable alternative. A 3 and out would kill us.

 

[IllegalContact]

Why do you all do this to yourselves? It's the same thing every week........enjoy the pure exhilaration!

Yeah, I'm sure the coaching staff intentionally told them not to force any more fumbles. Because that's pretty much the main reason they were solid in the second quarter.

Gronkdown vs. Bow
