The conditions in todays game.

[Kontradiction]

It wasn’t the heat. I was there. They looked like **** from the start. This team needs a wideout that can separate from man. He comes back in two weeks.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

The Jags played in the same heat.

We've had some hot, humid weather on the East Coast lately.
No excuse for a disciplined BB team.

There are deeper problems IMO.
Some players just looked lost.
Rowe was abused big time.


It's one of those games where nobody has an excuse. Crazy.
Rare, but crazy.

 

[slam]

They don't play in Miami till the middle of December.

Teams can make schedule requests like that as the schedule is being drawn up. Which is why they had two high elevation games together last season, and multiple West Coast games on consecutive weeks in years past. Two Florida games put back to back might be something the Patriots would consider requesting.

I’m sure it factored in but I’d place it behind a whole lot of other stuff.

sure

BTW, what is brady's record when the temperature is 85 or above? 80 or above?

 

[SammyBlueCat]

They are always awful this time of year in Florida look at the Miami games in 2014 and 2001. It's that way for those teams are like up north in December.

I remember reading something Tedy Bruschi said- that they never talk about the heat (and weren't allowed to), but it is absolutely and definitely a factor. There's just no way of getting around that one, and today was brutal.

Thank God the most critical football is played in late fall/winter.

Does anyone remember one of the snow games against Miami that we won 12-0 were Tedy made some snowballs?

 

[SammyBlueCat]

I believe they said at the start of the game he that he was 0-3 which now would be 0-4

He did win one of the games but I can't remember which. Two or three of the losses were in Miami (not surprising).

That's right. He won a game in Arizona. (They now play indoors)

The point is, they aren't playing in Miami till the middle of December so it isn't an issue.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

The jags proved they’re a legit threat. Heat or no heat this defense likely would have given up the same result. I notice the jags trying to expose these LBs.

It has become a trend. If they can’t get pressure they will get abused. I am just shock that rivers wasn’t active. I don’t get it.

Yeah no ****. It was nearly triple digits. Everyone was just a step too slow. Chalk this up as nothing to worry about. Learn from the late game miscues and move onto the next one.

You can commiserate all week on WEEI with folks of equivalent intellect. If you find yourself angry, never come back

FTFY

 

[hellolin]

Not making any excuses, but I have to wonder how much the heat affected our performance in this game. Defense looked gassed from the start. Definitely isn’t the first time we struggled in the heat.

Either way, a lot of adjustments need to be made.

A lot, consider the pats always suck playing in Florida.

 

[captain stone]

Brady's lucky he wasn't drafted by the Lolphins.

Then again, if he were he would have the "task"(snicker) of playing this defense twice a year.

Brady would be selling insurance right now, if he were drafted by the Dolphins.

I been saying that for the longest. Hogan can’t do it. Dorsett either.

 

[supafly]

KC and JAX look like the conference anklebiters this year.

Let's hope the anklebiter isn't a Great White

I still wouldn’t write Pittsburgh off just yet, especially if they’re in the mix when Bell inevitably returns after week ten.

 

[supafly]

Hogan can’t constantly beat man coverage, no, but he’s still a nice piece to have. He obviously benefits from weaker matchups, which should happen again when Julian returns. If they added another viable receiving option, Hogan would be an excellent WR3. As of now, he’s an adequate WR2. He is most certainly not a WR1 under any circumstance.

Difficult to believe that the heat/humidity was the difference, particularly as this area just finished off some oppressive heat...

It may not have been as warm as yesterday, but a couple of days the heat index was over 100 degrees... many of these players grew up and played football in the south...
