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

[festy1986]

If Bill took half this accountability for his offensive coaching hires then maybe we wouldn't all feel so bleak about what we're watching.

 

[upstater1]

Pretty sure he’s saying that was Bill’s call.

You guys are really saying this seriously????

Clearly Andrews does not want to throw a teammate under the bus.

 

[Ross12]

so easy to say . ruined the game for eveyron else

"I'll learn from it and do better in the future", says the guy who only has 3 games left with the team before he becomes a free agent and signs elsewhere.

 

[Jlaff]

What did Meyers think Jones was going to do with the ball even if he had caught it?

I think Myers expends all his thought power on catching the ball. After that, his brain turns off.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Is it possible Meyers played hero ball because he didn't trust the offense to score anyways in OT?

I feel bad for him .

No, he was just stupid

Bringing up Zappe no matter the situation shows that you can only hold one thought in your head at a time. Every ****ing time anything goes poorly people are on here posting about Zappe, it’s so annoying. You saw Zappe in two and a half games, the Pats had been scouting Zappe and Mac for years and also watch them practice everyday in closed sessions you have no way of seeing. Thinking that you can obviously see something the organization, or scouts at every level with a million times more information disagree with and then repeating it over and over is troll behavior.

When people say "Mac sucks bring in Zappe", it's code for "the team isn't doing well and I don't know football enough to see everything wrong with the team, so I'm going to blame the QB and pretend the other guy is a savior".

There was a not so small vocal minority here in 2019 screaming that Brady was the cause of all are problems and that he was done and it was time to move on. Many of these are the same people. They were also the same people that were screaming for Stidham.

There's so much more beyond Mac that it's stupid

-Agholor and Thorton not making plays basic NFL receivers should make
-Patricia's extremely terrible play calling
-Screwing up a drive on the one by total coaching ineptitude.
-giving the Raiders the sideline on that final drive so they had time
-Multiple big chunk burn plays being conceded at the start and end of the game
-a lack of situational awareness from players, specifically in regards to that final play.

I get people are mad, but there is so much wrong with this team beyond Jones that leads to losses like this. If we score when we are on the 1... when Jones got the TD twice, where are stupid coaches screwed us out of one and are TE who has zero awareness screwed us out of another, that's game. If Agholor or Thorton make two catches any WR2 can make... that's field goal range and probably the game. If we took away the sideline on the last drive, the Raiders probably do not pull that off (bad call aside).

 

[Real fan 02]

Given their play at least in the 1st half, and the game-ending fiasco, it would not be unreasonable to say the Pats, to a considerable degree, lost on merit. "We wuz robbed" doesn't really cover it.

I can already tell, with this loss this generation of patriots players especially free agents, I'm sure they are going to be making business decisions for thier bodies... seasons over.. the unfair thing about the NFL is titans have the same record as us and they are in the playoffs..

Just a frustrating season going back to training camp

 

[aluminum seats]

What do you want the coaches to do to prevent a play like that?

This is so strange. For 20 years we have (rightfully) praised Belichick for putting his players in the best position to succeed. To coach them to have awareness in any situation. To play SMART football. That was as dumb as it gets. And your take is the coaches don't have anything to do with it.

 

[Racervx54]

Weakness.

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

This ending sucks right now but will be good for the long term future of the Patriots this team currently is going nowhere and this team needs 7-10 and a humiliating ending there's no way we can risk running this disfunction back.

Agreed

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Outside of Stevenson, I think everyone and every position needs to be in play this off-season.

There’s a few on defense I’d keep but offensively i agree.

 

[JMC00]

Stevenson made a horrible decision not to just go down....and then Myers on top of that made an even stupider decision.

The stupid decision was started by not just kneeling on the ball and going to OT.

 

[Rob0729]

Is it possible Meyers played hero ball because he didn't trust the offense to score anyways in OT?

I feel bad for him .

Why? The Pats offense outscored the Raiders' offense in the second half. The Patriots offense scored 14 points in the second half. The last drive they had before that one, they scored a TD on three plays.

 

[lancerman]

I doubt a lateral was called. Stevenson improvised and Jakobi followed suit.

If they improvised, then the coaches should cut them. I don't care who they are. Unless you are an All Pro, you don't get to make that mistake. But I don't really believe they improvised.

 

[State]

They had the ball was just a little over 2 minutes to play. Raiders out of time outs. One first down made, you win the game. But they refuse to pass. they go 3 and out, Raiders tie the game on a BS call then the punt **** show. But make one first down on your last posession, none of the other stuff happens. Conservative playcalling has cost them all season.

Bump.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

That will not sit well with Bill. I put odds of a Meyers resign at 0%.

 

[upstater1]

Score more points in the game? The great defense might stop the last drive,?

Hard to post when people like you talk nonsense.

I asked, what do you want them to say prior to that play?

You answer: score more points in the game.

If you don't understand why your post is nonsense, there's no helping you.

 

[RobertWeathers]

It's here.

 

[dannydyn]

And I thought I saw my wife naked. No, wait...

 

[JarOfMayo51]

whatttt

The qb played badly. I would say that has "something" to do with losing a game.

Sure but to focus on Mac not tackling Jones is dumb and pathetic
