Official Game Thread - Pat's @ Bucs

[moejr]

Got the TD anyway. Our O is struggling against a good D and our D can't stop a nosebleed. 2-3 after tonight

 

[DaBruinz]

3rd and 20. Hands to the face resulting in first down. What a stupid ****ing rule

Worst part is that they aren't calling it on the Bucs

 

[Mack Herron]

Why can't we do that?

 

[Crononaut]

That hands to the face is the type of thing where if we had some depth you could bench the player. Unforgivable.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

At least it was Martin's merit, rather than the D screwing up again

Idk those running lanes were pretty ****ing big

 

[ensoul]

This run defense's atrocious!

Just trying to catch up to the pass defense.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

annnd that didn't happen.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Manning got that team around him at the end and Brady gets this ****

It’s not last year and you don’t win games with history so it really doesn’t matter.

No sh*t, but my point is you don't forget how to coach in an off season. Personnel has clearly been the problem and, last I checked, they're playing guys who are new, some not even taking part in TC. OH, and perhaps their best defensive player has missed time.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

You can't blame Patricia for the defense when it stinks and then give Belichick the credit when it's good, this is Bills defense.

The offense has been worse. The defense was gonna give up points.

 

[Froob]

Well it wasn’t going to be a shutout.

 

[Joey007]

What went wrong here? They looked so good in the first quarter. Why do thy suck again?

 

[stcjones]

3rd and 20. 2 defensive penalties. Either this defense is really bad or the league has it out for us. Not feeling it for this game.

I’m not feeling it for this year...horrible undisciplined football....haven’t seen a total team miscue like this in....don’t know how long

 

[patfanken]

Another key 3rd down penalty that cost the Pats at least 4 points = I think THIS was was legit, but you just can't keep doing that and win.

 

[shmessy]

Rookie mistake. You just simply cannot do that on 3rd and 20.

2 penalties by the Pats on that play.

One was a rookie, one was a 4 year veteran.

They are playing beyond stupid. The coaching staff has dropped the ball so far this year. Mental errors have not been so prevalent in Foxboro since the last year of the Carroll era.

The next 10 days will hopefully give them an opportunity to drill down a bit and fix some things.

[IllegalContact]

Well....hasn’t the whole team turned into a pile of ****

 

[TomPatriot]

Ah, only 7-3. Not the end of the world. If that’s all the scoring TB gets this half, that’s pretty good.

 

[supafly]

Looked like HT was trying to communicate to the left side, possibly Marsh?

Van Noy was doing the same as HT. Someone looked to have missed the cue. Either that or Marsh just took a bad angle and missed the tackle, which is entirely possible, too.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Front 7 lack of talent showing up, the secondary is at least fixable because there's talent there. Not sure you can fix this run defense and lack of pass rush.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

We just dont have the horses in the interior. Look at Tampa’s interior lineman dominating the DTs. A lot of martins runs are straight ahead
