PostGame Thread Week 1 OFFICIAL Post-Game Thread: Patriots lose close to the Eagles

[Patriot Missile]

Good to see a competitive outing vs an elite opponent finally. Yeah, moral victories don’t count in the win column but its good to know they may have a chance to be able to pull out some wins and be in most games.

Be quiet. The adults are talking football.

Is that what adults do? Throw insults every other reply because they can't compartmentalize the difference between whining and critique?

The Dolphins offense are what I imagine ol’ NEM/AWOM would love: lots of slant passes and in-cuts. I think the Pats have the D to get him off his spot, which is where he gets into trouble. This is more true if Armstead is out again.

Just watched a bit of their video from today. Straka is an embarrassment as a Head Coach, with their talent especially. But F the Spanos’ they deserve him.

Won't be easy going to DAL in 3 weeks. Vaginas getting clobbered (7 sacks).

There is plenty of critiquing going on and there is some serious whining. Sorry if you are a whiner and are offended? Or was it the incel comment?

What's their to be offended about? You're not capable of critique.

I don't speak gen z, sorry.

I see people have dusted off their jump to conclusion mats

Just watched the replay after work. LOVE this team! Pats can hang with the best. A little rust on opening day but great effort and without all their starters. Comeback teams are dangerous. Pats look dangerous.

I'm not capable of critique? Ouch, that hurt.

What's GenZ speak? Is that a boomer thing to say?

Boomer is another gen z buzzword. Doesn't really enter my orbit.

Pats lost. There's nothing to be positive about unless you're still partaking in moral victories.

The only thing I observed was the same team making the same mistakes at the same times of the game.

In other words. It's more of the same.

Who is "celebrating" it? I see people taking positives out of it. I also see incels crying about it as usual.

Bingo. Excellent D, holding the NFC Champs to very mediocre stats/points. Didn't get raped by the running QB. Rookies everywhere playing well to very well. Patchwork OL putting forth one hell of an effort (much better in pass pro). Zeke, overall productive. Ty was productive and didn't get hurt. The tight ends were used for more than making sure there were 11 players on the field - and Henry's one hander was almost Gronk v Denver level.

Yes, they got in a 16 point hole early on. Yes, there are issues with the tactics/decisions late. Yes, Mac was inconsistent. Yes, our rookie receivers look good, but have a lot to learn.

Looking at the pre-season and now, everything that was "Sky is falling" has been upgraded to "Serviceable" - at least! Bring Strange back in at LG, and the line gets even better. Move the WR's around so Boutte can still contribute, but maybe keep him away from the out routes until he gets more training.

Nothing that went wrong today is broke beyond repair.

I didn’t see JJS towards the end of the game, both rookies looked to be playing ahead of him. Am I wrong?

Ok, so who made you the arbiter on how people should act, post or feel here?

Watch it! The homer police are gonna get ya.

I really loved a lot of what I saw today. But it’s just so hard to have faith in them in a close game the way close games seem to go lately

No one did. The difference is I'm not in here calling people fat incels over their bad takes.

I'm just making observations.

I just called them incels. You said "fat"

You are projecting.

he had his fair share of drops, including the one that lead to the pick 6

Poorly thrown ball. High and a half step behind him.
