PostGame Thread Patriots Lose to the Dolphins 15-10, Drop to 1-4

[TheRainMaker]

Mayo’s press conferences sound moronic. “It’s about execution” for every answer. Bud, who is responsible for making sure the team is executing??

That cliché is so dumb as the opposition's job is to prevent you from "executing".

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

I think the plan might be to play Brissett until we are 2 or 3 games in last place, like 1-8, and then play Maye so it he wins a few games we still have the #1 pick.

Whose the first pick?

 

[Steve102]

I am not mad, but I am trying to figure out why I should waste my Sunday watching this. This was 1991 bad. Undisciplined, dumb penalties, inept play calling and horrific execution.

I am on board with going with Maye at this point, as well as firing everyone from Jonathan on down. This is freakin' bad.

It’s as if he’s trying to say “we have the perfect game drawn up but these idiot football players aren’t doing their jobs right”. But again, it’s his job to make sure they do their jobs correctly. If they’re not then they should be pulled and replaced by someone else. They haven’t been, which tells me that it’s not an execution issue.

It's quite arrogant as if the your game plan is going to be better than the other coach. I mean, what has Jerod accomplished to assume he's going to be able to out coach Mike McDaniel? That aside, it's mostly a talent issue that Jerod is failing to see.

ROFL. You just made my points by trying to counter them. They had guys said no to coming here, a la Ridley, Aiyuk etc. I am sure Smith, Moses etc all said the same thing. What would you do as I said? Kidnap them? Force them to sign?

You said the Pats had a higher offer and that players turned them down. Now you have no examples except you are mysteriously sure that every FA turned the Pats down. When you have no facts, you make up "I am sure". Ridley was not a higher offer, Aiyuk's decision had nothing to do with salary, but you are sure there are "players", that is what you said. Of course you have no links, no concrete examples, only "I am sure".

Yes you overpay for FA, thats the name of the game. You don't MASSIVELY overpay, like I stated but of course you missed that.

What is an acceptable overpay but not a massive overpay? Please let us know. Ridiculous. Again you make up a position like "massively overpay" that has no definition, and claim you are correct. Just like "I am sure" where there is no definition but you claim you know. You are correct because you have defined a new FA spending category called "massively overpay" and you have insight that everyone else lacks because "I am sure". Of course there are no concrete examples.

The Commanders are a unicorn and it remains to be seen what happens there. Their rookie QB is also 24 years old, played 6 years of college ball AND has about double the college games that Maye played.

You said it does not happen in the NFL and now you say that the Commanders are a unicorn. So which is it, it does not happen like you claimed, or it does happen but rarely? I only ask becuase you have clearly stated that "I am sure". So are you sure it does not happen, or you are sure that maybe it happens? Is a "unicorn" a new category you are creating like "massively overpay"?

Does it bother you when you don't read or have any kind comprehension that is above a 1st grader?

Of course it bothers me to discuss a complex issue with someone who has a much higher IQ and incredible insight. Your concrete examples and logic are mesmerizing. I think the way you make up categories that redefine football strategy is amazing. A MASSIVE overpay and a UNICORN - how intelligent. Considering everything, I am comforted by the fact that "you are sure". And if you are wrong, you would admit it like an adult by claiming any mistake is a unicorn. Remarkable.

Clown show, from ownership, front office, coaching to NEP offense. And biggest clown is our **** sucker HC.

To give Jerod some credit, I do think the defensive game plans have generally been fine, and today the unit looked mostly good despite how many pieces were missing or fresh off the bench. However, the offensive game plan - I have no idea if it’s good or bad because I don’t really have any confidence Brissett is actually executing it properly. But he hasn’t been replaced, so I guess he must be and the gameplan must just be dog ****.

 

[Racervx54]

Worst Team and Coach in the NFL....

 

[Triumph]

How is that worse? At least watching that would've been fun... The Patriots have been a terrible, absolutely boring product for the last 3 seasons including this year's trainwreck

Because the Bengals have their QB of a lifetime and all they do is underachieve. Loaded at WR too.

Flacco did enough to win and still lost.

disagree with me? Thats cool... Converse with me, tell me why... It's why we're all here, to talk Pats football

That's what she said

 

[State]

Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses, and John Simpson. None of them were a gross overpay and all three would have greatly helped our OL.

Especially Mr Simpson.

Next week Thelonious and I are going to watch episodes of Knight Rider on YouTube —we’re big David Hasselhoff fans—instead of the slaughter at the hands of the Texans

What you say sounds reasonable, but do you realize that the Dolphins averaged about 8 points over the last three games and we gave up 15? Our defense gave up double the Dolphins average over the last 3 games. Are you sure the defensive game plan was generally fine? The defensive plan was 2x worse than the average over the last 3 weeks - not really generally fine if you look at the stats.

This was 1991 bad.

Agreed. Rod Rust redux.

 

[Ring 6]

Thank you.

That seems like a very questionable rule to me. I cannot remember which game it was but there was a WR that was on the sideline and came down with a foot and heel in bounds but then his toe came down out of bounds and it was ruled a catch. It was a few years ago, has this rule changed or under gone modification? It might have been a Tampa game, not sure though.

That is a wrong call if it happened.
You can’t really have a rule the foot has to be in and not have it be either all of the foot or any part of it.
It’s been the rule forever. The only confusion is a misunderstanding of the rule.

I agree with all you said but maybe the gameplay looks like crap because Brissett, injuries and inexperience. IDK.
