Post Game Thread - Pats @ Steelers

[Froob]

We don’t play the Rams next week or even the week after.

Thinking ahead if we somehow make the Super Bowl.

Saints would beat us by 40 if we play like we have the past few weeks.

The Steelers before today had zero runs for 9+ yards. Today they got 6.

Edit: never mind they had more than that. Source was wrong. Lol

I seen that too. I was mad as hell

 

[EddardSnow67]

Rams would beat us 31-7

Why? There's no evidence to support the probability of that.

I dread to think what Gurley could do against this run defense...

You're right. It would be 48-7.

We lost to a team tonight that lost 3 games in a row (to the raiders last week), and to a Miami team that got throttled today (that we lost to on a fluke ass play). It has more to do with us playing bad football.

Not sure if injured but Goff hasn’t been right these last few weeks. And he been notorious to this point of playing worse away from home.

 

[Soliel]

Giving up 17 points to the Steelers is pretty good.

Our offense needs to be better.

Tom is 41 and can no longer make up for the dumb mistakes by his teammates. Gronk is a shell of himself.

Where was Gordon? Dorssett?

Putting in Gordon and Dorsett to try and score would be exactly what they would expect lol

The point is this is how far the 2018 Patriots are from competing with the elite teams at this point. The Saints would beat them even worse I fear.

 

[RayClay]

I am just shocked at how bad the run D is. This has been a thing of strength in past years , but this year they have been bad .

They cannot win if they don't patch that up.

I haven't been impressed with Goff in what little I've seen of him. The rest of the team is pretty good though.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Our options. Play Shelton and hope for the best. Or go with what we have and get better effort.

 

[RayClay]

Brady's going to be done in NE after next season unless he's willing to take a significant paycut when his contract expires after the 2019 season. Or unless Kraft overrides BB and pulls the Patriot equivalent of the Celtics shooting themselves in the foot by keeping the Big Three around too long.

Looking forward to Hoyer? Maybe Brady can play DT and give himself a chance to run a balanced offense. He stopped running once he saw Pitt gash us up the middle.

Have got to stop the run somehow. I can’t believe we won in Chicago.

I would say they’ll be in cap hell in a few years but with the cap continuing to rise they might be ok with the contracts they dished out this offseason.

 

[EddardSnow67]

The Rams lost to two teams the Patriots beat and are currently losing to a 6-7 team.

It's possible to be critical of the team without hyperbole. It's unlikely that any team will blow out any other team in the NFL.

Don’t disagree, but 7 weeks in the NFL is a lifetime. Why worry about it now. Make the playoffs is goal #1, then secure the 3 seed (or higher if the opportunity presents itself).

 

[RayClay]

Or find some guys on the waiver wire who will at least give an effort. There's nothing to lose, our very good secondary is wasted if we give up 10 yards a carry to start games.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

I will say I like our chances vs KC more than I did about 6 weeks ago. Those guys are frauds. They're like what? 1-3 against top teams? Not like we're any better of course but if I had to put money on it I'd bet LA represents the AFC or HOU
