Bad game for Ryan

 

[jays52]

This is one of those very rare moments where a QB not only should, but MUST call out his line in the presser. He has never blamed a teammate in his career so when it is utilized it carries weight. The line errors are all purely mental. Cannon and Devey both deserve to be cut. Oh, sweet, Hightower is dinged up.

Hightower is so lucky. He needs to look back.

Logan Ryan sucks today. Other than o-line, he has been the worst player on the field

Another penalty?!

 

[Foxypats]

Logan Ryan is pissing me off !

 

[spo]

Asomugha can't cover anyone anymore.

 

[DaBruinz]

Wish they'd actually show the supposed penalty on Ryan..

 

[Brady6]

Not inherently, no. What I have a problem with is the line's inability to keep Brady upright long enough to complete even a 5 step drop

I agree with that but I also see playing calling issues, also I would have to think McDaniels has the say on who the offensive line is or at least the most say other than Belichick.

Dolphins Patriots second half, part 2.

Probably, but that's still not a playcalling issue. When your line is playing like this it doesn't matter what plays you call.

Hooray! Stopped them on 3rd down... party!

 

[heavyde050]

Wow. The defense is luck Carr missed that pass on third down

 

[English Patriot]

Not even been close to picking off Carr today, looks like a bad defensive gameplan all round this week from the coaches in my eyes

 

[BradyFTW!]

Major confusion in the secondary, looked like Ryan was lost out there. good thing carr bailed them out with a **** throw

 

[ashley]

Bad throw there by Carr, but I'll take it

Drop

So you do not see a problem with the offensive game plan?

The game plans have been questionable. But nothing will work if the o-line can't block for the pass or run effectively. This line is very BAD. It's one of the worse I've seen in a long time. Sadly, there is no Scar to fix it. I hope it gets better, but right now, they look really bad. It's having an effect on the entire offense. Brady has no time to look for anyone else to get open. He can only go to his first read. The running backs can barely find a hole to run through. The offensive line is a mess. They had all offseason to fix it and they did nothing.

We shall agree to disagree for now, I will keep it in mind what you said as I watch the second half.

Drop

Stops a stop even if it is a drop

At this rate, I don't even want to think what a good team will do to the Patriots.
