Post Game Thread - Panthers @ Pats

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

We're 2-2. Long season yet. We need to fix something soon or this season might get ugly. My assumption is 10-6, but thats dependent on how we look by week 8.

Not giving up though. Counting out NE would be foolish!

So me saying I prefer Ryan over Gilmore considering the price of both means I have no clue what I’m saying. Got it. Thanks.

Again you are comparing two players that dont play the same position. Gilmore is a Butler replacement for next year and has nothing to do with Ryan.

There is a problem with the D, and it is the linebacking core. It is woefully undermanned.

Belichick's specialty is DBacks, he will solve the problems back there. My only concern is that McCourty may have lost a step.

But our LBs? On those screens? Embarrassing.

I don't think BB can do anything about those LBs.

By the way, people are delusional if they believe Belichick is going to give up on his scheme for these DBacks.

He will have the same conservative scheme. I am prepared for all the shootouts .

Duron Harmon was asked if the Patriots should simplify their defense. He said they already have.

Interesting

He's right. They are in base a lot and they don't scheme as much.

If this is your serious attempt you really got not much insight.

You don't need insight to know taking your weakest link off the field is worth a try. If he were Cyrus Jones this would have been done week 2. You can keep hoping for sunshine and lollipops but it won't help him

And I’m saying we would’ve been better off keeping Ryan and either resigning butler or finding another butler option for 2018. Gilmore sucked in Buffalo and it was foolish to pay him that much. Usually when opposing fans rejoice in a guy signing with the opposition they know what they’re talking about.

Defense
1. Same problem on defense 3 games now vs mobile QBs picking up 3rd downs.
2. Broken coverage on more than 1 big play.
3. When the D does get to the QB they cant tackle him and he gets away usually converting a 3rd down for a big play.
4. As soon as NE scored their final TD, I thought to myself that there is too much time on the clock.
5. The 2016 NE Pats gave up the fewest points in the NFL. Prior to this game, the 2017 Pats had given up the most points except for 1 NFL team. This team likely took the 32nd place crown with today's ugly performance.
6. Patricia looks at a loss on how to right the ship. Going ballistic at the secondary did not seem to help.

He's had a knack for calling people stupid ITT

But it didn’t work out did it? Your right I wouldn’t be saying anything if these moves worked out. But I’m going to say something if you give a guy 40 mil in guaranteed cash and let a better corner go in Logan Ryan. Another one of bill the GMs personnel mistakes.

Nope. You win some and lose some. This was a loss for BB the GM.

 

[IllegalContact]

The defense is just a mess ..... Gilmore gets the credit for the most obvious plays but they all suck right now....there’s no good news but this roster should be playing better

So you would have handed out 16M (g) / 30M contract for an inside corner ? Thats how you end up with cap issues down the road.

Just a guy who thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. Nothing more nothing less

Yes.... the DE and LB positions did not get addressed this year and the secondary has had a nervous breakdown

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I would ecstatic right now if this team finished 6-2 after the bye. They need to play well and get on a winning streak. Some bad losses at home.

There are some really stupid people on this forum.

Doesnt take much when surrounded by morons like some on this board.

Over 40 mil guaranteed to a guy who has trouble on the outside and has multiple coverage busts weekly? Yes, I’ll pay Ryan every day of the week

 

[bresna]

Great quote from Gilmore after the game...
Gilmore: I’m a corner. It’s my sixth year. Got a short-term memory. So, I can handle it.

Obviously, he has a short-term memory - he can't remember that he got called for illegal use of the hands, hands to the face earlier in the game.

Thats because they are hot take spewing bozos.
