Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread Week 17 - Jets @ Pats

McDaniels, that play call....

 

[Fore2213]

Short yardage is a legit problem for us

It’s a problem because when ever we have a short yardage play....josh has only 2 plays and they both fail more often than not!!

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Petal to the metal boys.

like a Flower?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Rivers shows the Cat like quickness his fans have been craving for a long time.

Haha more like “let me hide behind all these linemen and sneak my way through the hole.”

 

[PittPatriot]

This is a team built on defense and the run game.
Amazing to think we came into this season with lots of questions marks on D and in the backfield.

 

[Deus Irae]

I just want to get this in before the "Cliff! Brady's done!" crew get to crying in the post game:

First Second Third Fourth Fifth drive stalled ended stalled because James White dropped a catchable pass the Patriots scored a touchdown the running game got stuffed twice in short yardage, not because of a Brady failure. Frankly, I want to know why they didn't have Brady sneak it on 4th down, as it looked as if the room was there for it.

That should do it for the half, and I'll consider my point made.

 

[RobertWeathers]

This is why the Jets are terrible. Can't believe they didn't call a timeout with a minute left

...and why Bowles is getting wacked

 

[VectorPrime]

The PLAY-CALLING in short-yardage is the problem. If they used Michel in the I, they get it..

Michel has been lousy in short yardage all season long.

 

[PatsFan2]

Hurry BB extend Rivers now.

 

[n1997y]

Bowles a dumb man

Or he doesn’t care.

Could be both.

 

[reflexblue]

Again. Why NE went away from him to the extent they did is confounding.

Josh is trying to confuse everybody.

 

[Snooky97]

@reamer your man rivers...

 

[JetFan79]

They seem to call a lot of Jet games.

I've heard 'em a few times with the Jets. Think they get the games that are expected to be the least watched outside of their regions.

 

[Foxypats]

Dan Roche
? @RochieWBZ

Say what you want about the opponent, but an impressive bounce-back effort for Tom Brady:

16/22, 165 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT

 

[patfanken]

Half time observations,

1. Except for on. e run, the Pats D front has been very good vs the run. That's 2 weeks in a row.

2. Brady will likely have a 400 yd game....if he stays in the game for the full 60.

3. With 2 key guys missing at WR (Gordon and CP) the Pats passing offense is looking very good.

4. With tremendous success in the passing game, WTF is James White the short yardage choice TWICE????????????? Sometimes Josh just makes me shake my head. Too cute by a half.

5. A Derrick Rivers sighting: Who cares if he got a sack on a well designed stunt. Just seeing him out there does my heart good.

6. One wasted opportunity. Not bad.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Michel has been lousy in short yardage all season long.

Just want to point out that burk did get a short yardage first down on the first td drive.

 

[PatsWSB47]

Has anyone noticed that every play that doesn't work for us is "stupid"

 

[stcjones]

Not one person got a push blocking on the 4th down play

Very half ***ed at best effort there....scary thing you notice on this team right now is guys taking plays off....not selling the play....playing half ***ed when an O player is running for big gain (you see several Pats players lazingly jogging in background).....lack of hunger and commitment ain’t winning championships

 

[Snooky97]

Would like them to get Gronk going a bit more. Solid half, but poor from McDaniels towards the end.

Why subject Brady to more hits or injury.
