Post Game Thread - Pats @ Steelers

Brady is still good enough to win. Still a top 5-7 QB

His receivers and OL are much more problematic.

This

What else was he supposed to do with the ball on the last drive?

The interception was a bad play, but Brady was on fire in the first half and nobody could catch

Sony Michel is good and could get better but runningbacks are a dime a dozen I still hate the pick.
Wynn getting injured was a fluke not addressing Linebacker til the 5th made no sense.
JC Jackson is a star
If we get Braxton Berrios to step in and replace Edelman next season that will help.
We looked real good with the 2 rookie linebackers have potential.
Duke Dawson should earn snaps.
The draft wasnt terrible.
If Wynn becomes a stud and Michel stays healthy and develop.

We need to replace 5-7 bodies in the starting defensive front 7

Brady has sucked and has not been superbowl worthy.

However, given that unfolded and hes going to have an entire off season to sit through KNOWN how terrible he was, it's only common sense to wait until next season to see it he course corrects it or to see if this was truly the end.

Retire while you're ahead. Team needs two QBs

Unfortunately, this will be the first time in a long time that the pats don’t make it to the afcc......they will have a wild card game at home and probably win it, but they’re on the road the next week and aren’t good enough to beat a playoff team on the road

A wild card game would most likely be against the Titans or Dolphins. Don't count on NE advancing to the divisional round...

 

[dinustef]

Expected loss. We can't win with this team on the road.

But the penalties? This is not something I could ever imagine. And it's happening game after game.

Overall, it doesn't look good for our prospects in the playoffs. Especially if we don't get the bye, which we most likely won't.

The holding call on Malcolm Brown was the worst. How could you possibly call holding on a DL? That’s an oxymoron.

Happens enough for anyone who watches a lot of football to not be surprised that it occurs

 

[Kontradiction]

If they can knock this next draft class out they should be sitting good. I like the way the secondary played today. Gilmore is a stud and JC Jackson did such a good job on Schuster today. Excited to see what would happen if they can steal a well rounded DT and ILB in this draft or via free agency.

We need two quality run-stuffing DTs, maybe two DEs, a LB, and a S. And that’s not even mentioning the needs on offense.

 

[Uptown]

Very accurate. We’ll bounce back.

 

[festy1986]

Do you guys realize they lost like 100 yards in penalties at the offensive line? Brady played well besides one horrible play (again.).

Josh Gordon’s two targets should be enough for McDouche’s pink slip, but it won’t be.

They only score 10 points man. The refs sucked but to act as if that is why they lost is homer **** and belongs on the jets board.

They didnt play anywhere near what they needed to.

 

[Joey007]

Trent brown hoping for a pay day....he won’t be getting it from the pats.

Yeah, I’d been a fan of Brown. I’m off the wagon after today.

 

[Gronkowski123]

His redzone passing sucks this year. He can't throw Rz TD's. All of those short handoffs to Blount and Michel have ****ed up his mind

 

[RobertWeathers]

Still haven't won the division

Realistically speaking....

Your words to BB's ears. Our future is with BB GM not BB HC.

 

[Redman443]

The Texans would have to lose for us to get a FRB

They will because they can beat anyone at home.......

If you're cool with bradys decisions in red zone the last two weeks that fine.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Realistically speaking....

At this point 9-7 doesn't seem too unrealistic

 

[RobertWeathers]

Thought you said the Pats were going 12-4? What happened?

Are you glad I'm wrong or something?

 

[Brewskies]

Not to mention three or four absolutely brutal drops.

Brady wasn’t the problem today.

Not so sure of that. He contributed to the problem like so many others.

 

[Tony2046]

14 penalties and the Steelers only scored 14. This game was rigged, I never say that, win or lose, I always thought the games were pretty well done. This game reeked of the officials being biased

A couple of bad calls? Yep. Rigged? No. Most of the calls were pretty clear penalties.

This team is just shytting itself on the road. It can't get a complete game together. It seems rare to see all three phases working during the same series.
