Game Thoughts: I am embarrased by this loss edition

[VectorPrime]

Id feel better about what Lyoko is saying if Brady didn't get hurt. That screws EVERYTHING up.

 

[Rob0729]

What was it? 45? Another sack would take us to 50+..

Am pretty certain this is the area where you see biggest drop off with Kickers. That being said Ghost has been consistent from 50+ so you could have taken that risk I guess.

But then again who do you throw to / what do you call on 3 & 13 while minimizing the sack probability?

You trust Brady to get rid of the ball. He is the best QB in the league.

It was 43 yards. Belichick usually goes for it in these situations. He didn't. But you are arguing what I am arguing. He wasn't playing to win, he was playing not to get hurt and that is stupid because you cannot play not to get hurt. Brady got hurt while they were playing not to get Brady hurt. This is football.

What tape? I mean, I can give you tape of the kicker missing a make-able FG. I can give you tape of a hand-off on 3 and long that went nowhere. I can give you tape of the O-line breaking down and almost getting Brady killed. What tape do you want me to look at?

the one of my ex-wife with that judge that denied my divorce claim...

They had 38 guys dressed.

Who's fault is that? Yeah, I know the IR rules are draconian but they *could* have dressed more guys than that...if they were trying to win. Which they had no idea they were doing all day long.

 

[Rob0729]

They had 38 guys dressed. They barely played Chander and DA. Lafell was not used. White wasnt used much.

They are out of bodies and have to play someone. They figured TB might squeak them a win. Suh fell on him, bad break.

They were never going to win with the game plan they came in with and I don't know how Brady handing off the ball would have been better than Garoppolo handing off the ball. They were forced to abandon the game plan in the second half and it still didn't work.

And my complaint about White is he is never used much until late in the game or if the Pats are down. This has been the case for weeks.

I think they knew it but took a chance. I think if JG started this board would have crashed. You know that lol. It was a bad day but not unprecedented.

 

[Peachhead]

Rumors are McD has some head coaching opps....I for one am pulling for him

...and takes Deguglielmo with him.

I realize the OLine is a MASH unit. But even when they were at full strength Brady had to use high tempo to keep from getting killed and even then he got hit way too much.

 

[FCB02062]

I hope edelmans the magic elixir cuz it ain't pretty...amazing how subtracting lewis, solder & edelman has made their offense average at best and awful at worst

They were never full strength this season. They started 3 rookies plus Kline for 6 of the first 7 games. The intention was to have only one rookie or Kline play, and have Stork and Wendell as starters. That's a major reason for the mess they're in (well, that and that they're down both starting tackles now).

 

[DaBruinz]

No guarantees on the first five names - hopes, but no guarantees. Add in that even if back, those guys could be only the same effectiveness the bottom six were today (of which I thought Chung was most effective, McCourty the least with most nearer to McCourty than Chung as to their "percentage" either healthy or not rusty).

The team has little positives on which to build right now. Can they turn on the switch in two weeks? History says yes given their track record of doing it, but the current situation doesn't support it with where they ended.

I'll put money that all 5 are back in the line-up for the Pats when then play in 2 weeks..

 

[DaBruinz]

Do u have a police badge on this site? Lol

Nice way to make no sense at all. Hell, you aren't even on subject.. typical troll

[DaBruinz]

The LACK OF effort fire, and LEADERSHIP (even from Brady).....was ALARMING and disheartening....(Did any of them get fcking pissed off at being embarrassed and b!tch slapped by a team like....Miami?!?

You can have injuries....but to totally GIVE UP MENTALLY and physically during one a PIVOTAL game.....is really sad and speaks volumes about the team and its coaches...Two words came to mind after watching today......FLAT.....and QUITTERS.....

What was ACTUALLY riding on the game? The Play-offs? Nope. They were already in. The Bye week? Nope, the Pats were guaranteed that as well. Home field for the AFCCG? That's 2 games down the road and thinking about it goes against the "One game at a time" mantra that Belichick has.

What speaks volumes about this team and coaches is that, despite all the injuries, they still ended the season 12-4. And they will be in significantly better shape in 2 weeks than they were today.

 

[SVN]

i love deion because he really pro pats but sometimes he pushes the players he is close with

 

[DaBruinz]

Everybody. If you're going to rest guys, rest them. There's a backup at every position.

You can't rest everyone.. Not when you already have 7 guys out and another 5 guys who shouldn't be playing..

But you didnt want him gone when they were at full strength did you?Only now when its injured and having issues you want him gone

 

[Danger Zone]

...and takes Deguglielmo with him.

Sorry, he was Felger and Mazz's punching bag for much of last year.. until we won the Super Bowl.

I'll keep him around for another year (or trust Belichick to make the better informed decision there).

Guys like you just need to stop watching because it's clear you just don't have a clue.
Re: Gostkoswki's missed field goal. The field was GARBAGE. It got tore up in the Orange Bowl and they weren't able to get it fixed very well. The fact that they were STILL trying to fix the field 2 hours prior to kick off should tell you that Gost get's a pass.

RE: Watching the tape. You clearly didn't read Loyko's messages. He said the tape proved the team wasn't going all out. Go back and watch tape from other games.

Do yourself a favor and learn the game before you sit here ranting like a loon about things that are clearly beyond your comprehension.

Yep

How could they have dressed more guys than the 45 they had? Waddle is injured and couldn't play. The other guys were back in New England. What are they supposed to do? Cut the guys who are injured at the last second just because you say they should?

You seriously are talking garbage now.
