PostGame Thread Official Post-Game Thread: Patriots Lose to Commanders 20-17

[A Defiant Goose]

Official offseason needs:
Head coach
General Manager
Quarterback
Wide Receiver
Line backer
Corner back...

Feels like we need a whole new team..

I think we're fine at LB and CB tbh. Need an offensive overhaul more than anything.

Employing Accord and Judge for our special teams is a fireable offense. All the stupid money we’ve invested into that group. Belichick needs to go I’m done.

Losing at home to the commanders after they traded their two edge rushers is embarrassing. The pats are a laughingstock.

The goal the rest of the way is to secure a top 3 pick to be able to draft one of williams, maye or harrison jr.

I just watched Joshua Dobbs, who the Vikings just acquired, drive his team down the field for a TD to beat the Falcons. Why can’t we get a guy who does that?

Meyers right now

 

[festy1986]

They aren't just losing. They look horrendous doing it.

They don't look like a professional team.

Make the change Bobby.

You forgot O-Line, but yes it's bad.

Thank you! How could I forget O line. Is never thought I'd see this bad of patriots football again. Feels like early 90s patriots football all over again.

Before you rush to blame JJS, he was the one who temporarily saved the game on fourth down when Mac threw yet another ****ty pass that JJS snatched off the ground.

That’s his job.

Bill is an all time great coach but the game has passed him by, this is a seriously sad operation he's built and the fact they didn't sell at the deadline and still haven't got key players signed shows that.

He's still obsessing about special teams when everyone else just gets the cheap guy who can run and tackle and boots the ball into the endzone and does better than his crew.

They refuse to pay for stars, they now have a boring unwatchable product which is without a doubt one of the worst in the league, the funny thing is some teams are bad by design because they want a rebuild the Patriots and Bill are actually trying to win these games.

Do you actually remember that bledsoes best years were 96-97, or did you look it up? I just remember Bledsoe was top flight until he ran into BBs defense, and he was never the same

He was still good in 1998 and put the team in his back against Miami and Buffalo. But yes, BB derailed this team in 1999 on MNF.

Belly aching about a VG, yet unspectacular J Meyers isn’t the way.

This team is hitting rock bottom and needs a few special players to get you big plays at key times.

Reorganizing the NE might be painful. But it’s necessary. I’d rather lose in order to win than be .500 or so for the next decade.

I do not think i will travel to Germany next week...

Wise choice

 

[Patriot Missile]

Williams, Maye and Nix all within reach.

As much as I would love to **** all over the guy just so I have a place to direct my frustrations, I just can’t. Mac had a o.k. game and on more than one occasion was let down by costly drops by his receivers. Very disappointing. The only good things to take from this game was the play of Douglas (minus to the drop) and the contention to remain in top 5 pick or higher territory. I still can’t believe we couldn’t crack 20 pts on one of the worst defenses in the league that just traded away two of the starters from their defensive line. Absolutely ****ing pitiful. Bills tirades on the sideline at the refs game after game is getting old. We’ve had some horribly officiated games but holy **** man…coach this team up! Worry about your guys and less about the officiating.

Ross, I’ve always considered you one of the more optimistic posters on here.

Your OP is a great indicator of how bad things are right now.

 

[Ghost_Rush02]

Just here to see how many times someone blames the last int on mac




Also...I would love to blow this whole team up...but all signs still point to the same system staying in place w Mayo possibly being the head coach, so what is the point. Complete tone deaf organization.

 

[Grogan14]

Washington played better and deserved to win.

Mac Jones is in the final stretch as Patriots QB. I hope.

A very minor and little thing: the lack of a facemask call on the second to last drive was huge. A facemask there puts the Patriots in Washington territory and it likely enables Mac not to rush AND panic.

It was a huge non-call.

Balances the horrendous roughing the passer call on Washington

23 years ago today Pats lost to the Bills to go 2-7

23 years ago Belicheck was 48. It's time to move on

Well.. LB we are thin.. we need some depth.. there.. I say CB becuase we have been terrible at CB since gonzo got hurt. At WR.. everyone not named Douglas is up for consideration.
