Official Post Game Thread- Titans beat the Pats

[TN patriot fan]

Cleveland would be a nice fit for Brady, talent-wise. But there's another QB1 there, and it's in Ohio (Wifey issue there).

I think the Browns would tell Baker to go sightseeing in Bangkok or Rio for a year or two if Brady wanted to play for them. He would only be an upgrade of about a billion percent over Mr. Overrated.

BillB's motto has always been "value" for a player. This includes TB.
NFL is a cut-throat business, no handouts....

One thing I would like to understand- NE had real trouble in a lot of short-yardage running situations. We generally do better with a bruising-type back for those situations. Why did Harris - a 3rd round pick never see the field? At some point it seems we could have used him. He was on the roster all year.

I think Josh goes to dallas or Carolina , good chance he takes brady with him.

I find it interesting that nobody is talking about BB future. He is going to be 68 at the start of next season. How many years will he be on the sideline? My guess would be 2 or 3.

Lost in all this was how well Gilmore played. He bounced back well. Jc Jackson had a heck of a game as well.

Harris isn't a big back. He's just 216 lbs.

What progressions when the wideouts are not getting any separation. Sanu and harry can’t get open even running through a wet paper bag.

Was it man defense all night and if so how about a darn rub route... Even Miami did that

 

[shmessy]

Why no runs to Bolden and why did we not use Meyers at all when he showed he could run routes and get seperation.

This season turned on losing 3 key longtime experienced coaches in the offseason (Flores/O’Shea/Daly) and replacing them with first timers Troy Brown and Jerod Mayo, along with Joaquin Phoenix Belichick.

The 2 new coaches and Joaquin may turn into good pros in the future, but the Pats missed the experience and know how of the 3 who left.

But Terence Brooks did not.

Why was he on the field in the 4th quarter on a key 3rd down?

Was second round draft pick JoeJuan Williams a ghost?

 

[MoreBellhorn]

BB wants to prove he can win without Brady. I think he’ll be here for at least five more years.

 

[bormio]

I don't think you can seriously question that punt. Still early, only down 1 and it's only barely past midfield.

And picking up those plays was less certain for us this year. Did not want to give TN a short field.

I don't think you can seriously question that punt. Still early, only down 1 and it's only barely past midfield.

In a vacuum, or if our Boogermen defense had been playing like their press clippings from early in the season, yes. But not playing against a team that had already had a single RB rack up their franchise record for yards in a playoff game - that was just dumb, dumb, dumb.

 

[Froob]

Mmm...nope.

Kraft’s fault for getting caught getting a * and thinking he received some sort of moral closure by cutting a guy for a text message and allegations, all to avoid media heat he got that reopened the news story on his own predicament.

All he had to do was put the damn phone down. How is AB not taking any blame?

 

[TN patriot fan]

You also have to include McDaniels play calling. This year has been lackluster.

Lackluster is a decided euphemism for what his playcalling has been this year.

Some good news:

Devin McCourty says he sees himself playing football next year.

 

[zipster9]

BB wants to prove he can win without Brady. I think he’ll be here for at least five more years.

Maybe he will be HC for the Patriots until he grooms his son, Steve to take over?

Is this nepotism?

 

[Todd Bradley]

All he had to do was put the damn phone down. How is AB not taking any blame?

And all Kraft had to do was jerk off in his bathroom.

See how we can go in circles with this?

Point is, no one is perfect, especially in the NFL where murderers, abusers, drug addicts and rapists play weekly.

What exactly was gained by cutting one of the top wideouts in the league because he wasn’t a boy scout? Clearly nothing and a wild card loss....

I think Dallas would be good but they have dak even if he has to play for jerruh jones lol

Dak will be selling shoes door to door tomorrow if Brady calls up Jerry and says he wants to be there. Jerry may be an egomaniac but he's not passing on that opportunity. Brady + Zeke + Amari = SB win.
