Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Saints beat the Pats

[TomPatriot]

this game was a big old YIKES.

Jonnu Smith looks like he might be a bust, he had such a bad game I'd seriously consider investigating to see if he put money on the saints.

Come on. He had one very bad game and I was on him all game, but seriously?

Absolute embarrassment today. Mac Jones is a good QB, the rest of the offense was awful. Jonnu Smith is bad. Hunter Henry has been invisible. The front office traded for a OLman who spent all last season pretending to have a bad calf injury and is doing the same thing here. Josh calling two Brandon Bolden runs when we needed a TD was a joke and I would think about a demotion after that nonsense.

Defense? Jalen Mills is a bad #2 CB and I didn't get that signing when it happened, but that's not my biggest complaint. The pass rush was supposed to be our strength (and get pressure sometimes), and when crunch time happens and we try to get pressure on Winston we get...NOTHING. No created pressure, no extra bodies sent trying to get Winston confused. It was the most gutless display of defensive play calling I have seen from this team in years and embarrassed me as a fan.

Brady will score 100 next week against this timid, cowardice excuse for a defense.

Fire this garbage offensive coordinator. For a terrible red zone offense, no clue how to use 2TEs, bad OLine. Guy brings zero to the table.

Take away a few positives. Judon has been and was a stud today. Having an up and coming Uche in there will only make them better. Also I thought the interior pressure was good on the defensive side today with Wise, Barmore and Godchaux. Overall, with the return of Gilmore this defense is going to be really scary again soon.

Oline tackles were awful today. Interior guards and center played ho hum bad to ok but tackles were putrid.

Good to see Bourne get involved today. Henry stuck out as open and capable. I’d love to defend Smith but today just wasn’t his day.

Mac Jones is just a rookie. A very good one btw. Very surprised by the oline issues. Can’t even blame him for the pressure he’s facing because it seems the pressure is coming as soon as the ball is hiked. My best advise to look at the quick slant run by Bourne in the 4th quarter that you connected on. Those are the types of plays that if you hit over and over will force the defensive coordinator to change his calling. Hear that Josh? How many times did we see that today? I’m no Josh hater but he’s been pretty bad this year so far.

Regardless of what happens this year, if mac plays well ill be happy. Getting that franchise qb is the biggest challenge, other parts can be modified and improved eventually. Just hope if things continue down this path it doesn’t mess with his confidence.

I agree. I wouldn't totally blame Jonnu when they keep playing him like an outside WR. That's just crappy play calling by the oc. As dumb as Bolden running in red zone is the oc having Jonnu play outside receiver.

Not that it really matters but the third one is his fault too. You keep throwing 50/50 balls eventually one's going to be picked.

I think Mac could still be a decent quarterback but anyway you look at it it was a horrible day for him.

What bothered me the most was how ugly those deep balls were. I heard he had nice deep passes at ALA.

 

[TomPatriot]

3 ups, 3 downs.

Up: no one

Down: everyone

Smiths routes were fine. Stop

In college separation is easy when a Div 1 powerhouse plays a ****hole college team. In the NFL, separation is rarely more than a matter of inches. Mac is starting to find that out.

Hope so too because if we miss on a 1st rd QB, this team will be set back at least 3 years.

Lol at the Bill criticism thread getting moved or even deleted.

If this team gets destroyed next week I don’t think it’s hyperbole to suggest that jobs should be in jeopardy.
Record FA $$$ spent and a terrible product on the field.
Smith, Agholor, and Godcheaux specifically look just awful for the $$$ spent.

Add to that Mayo and Steve don’t seem to have a clue and I don’t see much upside in keeping our older but valuable vets if we can get some value.
This team reeks of rebuild

 

[Mack Herron]

How bad is this? After the big FA spending spree they are about to go 0-3 at home. Last time that happened? Have to go back to 1993.

It’s honestly embarrassing

Why would we keep a thread calling for Belichick to be “FIRED” because the team started 1-2? There’s criticism and then there’s that dumpster fire. I deleted it.

 

[FCB02062]

some more grist for the McDaniels sucks crowd...in it's last 28 games (2d half 2019 through today) the Patriots offense has scored over 21 points just TWELVE times...with a defense that wilts when it needs stops in the last 6 minutes, this is not nearly good enough

I agree it’s an overreaction thread, but it I just don’t see the rush in it being deleted. If nobody responds, it disappears on it’s own.

And I appreciate the explanation.

we played not to lose today...which almost 99% of the time leads to a loss. Those run calls to a special teams backup RB were about as deflating, ridiculous and obnoxiously stubborn as I've seen in a few years from our OC. Let the kid throw, let the kid make mistakes. Those runs proved nothing, did nothing and showed nothing. This isn't a seasoned ,cohesive football team...it's a work in significant progress. Go down swinging is ALWAYS my motto...not azz up like a surrender monkey.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Belichick is worshipped by the people in control of this forum..remember this folks. Tread lightly

He dished out 175 Million and only got one good player Matt Judon in return

 

[NG Pats Fan]

We have zero red zone threats. It’s embarrassing
