2. In skimming the thread I saw several blame Cam for that pick. That's just BS. He put the ball right on the receiver's hands into a small window. That was really just a great play by Martinez.
that’s why we blame Cam. He put the ball into a small window, instead of throwing to a receiver with nobody within a mile of him. Result was an INT instead of a TD.The trouble is, Kendrick Bourne was open by -at least- 20 yards down the left sideline. Nobody within a mile of him.
Wade was lost before the goal line, scrambling to try to recover. He took himself deep enough behind the receiver that he wouldn’t have had a play on the catch no matter what. When he fell I wondered at first if he had tripped himself trying to get back into the play. I suspect the lack of a flag was because he was so off balance it didn’t take a push, just waving in his direction was enough for the breeze to take him off his feet. The official couldn’t bring himself to bail him out after he got so out of position and crossed up.WTF is Wade supposed to do there? He was literally pushed down by the Giants' receiver. That is text book Offensive Pass Interference.
re TEs, not both. Three. Asiasi showed up tonight. I’m thinking he hasn’t before this not because he wasn’t cutting it but rather because he wasn’t as much of a priority as exploring other aspects of the offense.Thoughts on offense. For the first time since TC Jones went through some growing pains. I don't blame Jones for them. He clearly hasn't been exposed to enough NFL starter level situations. Doing it with our 2s against their 1s wasn't a fair shot. We have seen how fast he learns. I would love to see him face the 1s in game action next week and see his growth (this time with our own 1s). Clearly Bill didn't prepare him well for this moment and put him not only in a position to learn, but fail. That isn't automatically wrong coaching. As it has been done before, but I don't like it and I don't thinm it is the best option.

The patriots need both TEs to be healthy or they will have issues. Their WRs aren't going to be near good enough, even when Agholor gets it. We need to win with our TEs and RBs creating mismatches with an occasional WR thrown to.

It was an exhibition game. It was not a regular season game. They call the games differently, as a result. There's no "deserve" problem.Was on a road trip during the game so tried to listen to the game on SiriusXM. The Pats radio team (Zo & Bob) are horrible, in no way could you follow what was happening in the game. Never told basic stuff such as down, distance, field position, who was on the field, etc. They acted like two guys drinking beer, watching the game on TV and commenting on plays (nice catch, he should have had it.....). New England deserves better. I switched to the Giants broadcast to at least be able to follow the action (though according to the NY team, the Pats committed a penalty on every.single.play).
Even just looking at that window, the throw was off. It wasn't off by any ridiculous amount, but a better placed ball would not have been picked.that’s why we blame Cam.

And so on....
WR is a real concern.
Explain to me how he can do that sitting on the bench? He won’t get used to the speed of the game running the scout team in practice. The guy needs to play and fail. No way around it. If it’s not this year, it will be next year and we would lose two years instead of one. Because don’t make mistake about it, we are going nowhere with camMac needs a little bit more time to get used to the speed of the game and learn to throw the ball away
Tend to agree here , just think this is what the team will do. I really hope that Cam plays better than last year but how long does he get if the throws are low or wide of the mark. Miami will not be easy.After this game, I am a little bit on the side of Cam starting, even tough I hate to say it. Mac needs a little bit more time to get used to the speed of the game and learn to throw the ball away. He definitely looked more like a rookie.
Cam still isn't good, but he is better than he was last year. I do blame him for that INT. If he had led Myers instead of forcing him to come back for the ball, the INT would not have been possible. Just a bad throw.
More time in the system and not being sacked because he held the ball will help himExplain to me how he can do that sitting on the bench?

Williams played the entire 4th quarter as the Free Safety after starting at outside CB. With Phillips and Duggar also in the fold in addition to McCourty there's enough position flexibility even if they also end up keeping guys like Bethel (think they will) and Davis, Ross or Bryant (don't know if they will).1.) I do not remember seeing mccourty play much, if any, this preseason. clearly he is our starting free safety. Communication in the secondary has been spotty this preseason and mccourty solves that every time he is on the field! And maybe Ross or Bryant slides into the old Harmon position as backup.
He reminds me of the trajectory Brandon LaFell took here. Started really slow, didn't have a lot in his route tree, drops - come about October he started becoming the physical outside guy they signed him to be, his confidence in the system grew and he was much more to his career averages regarding drops, etc.Agholor is going to have some issues for a while. Still seems lost. I think he'll get there, but it is annoying.
