If I recall with Landry, and one or two others, some of those wins at the end were embarrassing where it seemed like the team stopped buying in. If that starts happening here, I'd agree with you but I don't feel like we're even close to there just yet.
Not even remotely accurate
I would say it's possibly accurate for his first year (2001), but by 2003, he had more than come into his own. I would say @Jercules may want to go back and watch those games from that season and compare that to 2001. He was a completely different player by then.
It's sort of a miracle, if you think about it. To have two decades of success, followed by one tough year (2020) where after that season you land your next franchise QB and suffer one campaign of growing pains (2021) before you turn back into being competitive again, that's all any fan could dream of. All you need to do is look around the league to realize that if this works out, that would be pretty incredible compared to other franchises who haven't sniffed success in decades.
I don't think it's his time yet but the finish line is a lot closer than we'd like to think.
I don't know...talk to me two years from now - we'll see how things are going then
Mac is well on the way to ending up like Luck and you know what I mean by that. Pats have a lot of work to do this offseason to fix what should not have been a season killing weakness up front.
Yeah, the Colts were inept when it came to protecting him and honestly, they didn't do Manning any favors either ("I'm trying to be a good teammate here...") and probably cut his career short as well. Mac joked that he likes getting hit, but I agree with you, they need to fix that sooner rather than later.
Game manager QB's would have taken Madden's advice in that first Super Bowl - and not do what Brady did.
D-Mac called out the coaching after Sunday's game.
I wouldn't say that. This is what he said:
I really wonder how the Gilmore trade went over in the locker room. The secondary has been awful the last 2 weeks.
I really liked Luck, he had a ton of talent and was good enough to lead a team to a SB, Indy just failed putting enough behind him - actually, in front of him is more accurate.I don't know...talk to me two years from now - we'll see how things are going then
I wouldn't say that. This is what he said:
“We were in a tough call, I think, for the route they ran,” he said during a postgame press conference. “They dialed up a good play for what we tried to do — kind of situational football. What they like to do — we tried to take it away, and Dak was able to hold it for a second. We kind of took the first two reads: the tight ends to the flat on our left side. But (he) extended the play, and got back to the middle and that’s where we were kinda light at and that was it.”
Belichick echoed what he said:
“We covered a flat receiver and then he just on the over route with another extended play. Obviously didn’t play it well enough, didn’t coach it well enough,” he said after the game."
What went wrong for the Patriots on the Cowboys’ walk-off OT touchdown
The Patriots let up a 35-yard touchdown to CeeDee Lamb in a game where the defense had been excellent.sports.yahoo.com
I'm sure guys weren't happy about it. I'm not as down on Mills as others. Watching the film because I've been working on defensive snap counts (still haven't finished these just yet on that side of the ball) and have had to focus on guys a little more, he's been decent for the most part and has actually been one of their better tacklers. It hasn't been perfect as of late, but his overall body of work has been pretty good.
