Fair enough. If the rookie bombs, the Sony trade will definitely turn from a reasonable way of getting something for nothing to a bad misjudgment..Fair point, I just don’t like the depth behind Harris, the rook has fumbling issues.
I am convinced that a large percentage of every fan base hates its offensive coordinator.You really are tragically stupid aren't you?
Run defense. Held them to 3.2 yards, 2.7 if you remove the one longish carry. Secondary, held Tua well under what he routinely put up last year. Turnovers and penalties at the wrong time lost this game, end of story, no matter HOW much you want to blame your personal objects of hatred. As for being a homer, the other name for that is being a ****ing FAN. If you don't like the team, if you don't like Belichick, GTFO and go root for some other team.It's funny I see you frantically downvoting multiple posters who are being critical of the team. Your face must be bright red and fuming. Sorry stop being a homer. These problems were called out before the game and they happened (run defense short yardage, no Gilmore, importance to stay in 12 personnel and no crappy shotgun that the oc always reverts to leaving his QBs open to huge hits)
I don't think this is it. I don't know what the real problem is, but it seems like there's still a talent deficiency on offense. Maybe losing Brown on the OL was just too much, but the right tackle didn't make Harris fumble. For that matter, the offensive scheme also did not make Harris fumble.
Stevenson didn’t fumble though. And why didn’t Bill challenge it?Fair point, I just don’t like the depth behind Harris, the rook has fumbling issues.
incredibly sloppy play from a BB coached team. what was it 4 fumbles today?
Aside of that I've got a good feeling about this team if they clean up the mistakes.
Turnovers are automatically reviewed and they upheld the call. Do most people here watch football ever?Stevenson didn’t fumble though. And why didn’t Bill challenge it?
Forgot about that. Terrible call.Turnovers are automatically reviewed and they upheld the call. Do most people here watch football ever?
Every turnover automatically is reviewed.Stevenson didn’t fumble though. And why didn’t Bill challenge it?
Absolutely unacceptable to turn the ball over there….hit the chip take the win….no I don’t blame harris overall I’m guessing he was spent because we he’s not a fumbler….Stephenson as far as his pro career this far?! He’s proven to be a fumbler. Hope they can fix his issue if not I’m sure he will be cut….BB doesn’t put up with that for longReally sucks to lose that way, fumbling inside the 10 yard line only down a point with like 2 min left.... all they really needed to do at that point was burn more time, kick the chip shot field goal and pretty much seal the win... but can't totally blame Harris since he was clearly gassed after Stevenson was benched early for also fumbling. Just not a good situation.
Far, far too many mistakes and costly penalties. The refs were truly awful today but I don't have the willpower to even dig into that. We know Bill will put a lot of time into cleaning things up and hopefully there's a quick turnaround there.
The one thing to take away is that after 1 game it looks like our QB of the future is here. Mac Jones was a baller today and bailed the team out of multiple bad situations that were not his fault. He ended the day 29/39 (74% completion percentage) for 281 yards, a TD, no picks and a 102.6 passer rating. Despite no Trent Brown and an iffy performance by Herron, and a lot of pressure from Miami, he made some beautiful throws. Some misses on the quick passes but it's understandable - that rhythm will come with time. I'm very excited about Mac and the future of the team.
