PostGame Thread Patriots Lose to the Texans 41-21, Drop to 1-5

Pats weren’t going to win this game anyway, but that was the worst officiated Patriots game I’ve seen in a while. From that, to the phantom PI, to the non-reversal of the TD where Gonzo pushed him out at the 1, to the “false start” by Maye because of the defense going offsides. There was even one play where the Texans got hosed, I can’t remember which one. NFL needs to be much better than this.

They don’t want to be better. They just want cash. Now.

Nice pass.

Notice how it was out in front of Boutte so he could run under it.

It’s becoming a disgrace. Are folks incompetent wearing the zebras all the sudden? Cuz it’s happening all over the place. Check this noncall.

Knocked Chris Olave out with a concussion.

your right, your memory is better than mine. what i was attempting to say was i go back to 74, and i can't remember a line this bad

Now the 1990 team was just as bad, It had Bruce Armstrong at LT and 4 JAGs

We can't win in the states so hopefully we get one over seas

The Jags are Jags.

There is talk about firing Pederson.

In other news, I thought Mapu has been good the last 2 games

Do the right thing and lose. Maye might make the playoffs if he had the offensive talent Trevor has.

They have no excuse to be that bad.

Mayo is a 22 year old kid? May"o" not May"e".

[Steve102]

I can’t. You’re right, tho. But look at this throw to a low rookie WR Bud Means:

I get you like the kid.

That was one of the inconsistency issues this game though. Obviously first INT was bad accuracy, and a few other throws in the first and second quarters where he threw a bit behind the receiver. There was an obvious one early in the 4th to Douglas, where Douglas caught it a bit behind him and lost his balance and was immediately tackled, but if Maye hit him in stride it’s a TD. Hopefully he’ll start being more consistent there.

Is there something significant about that type of helmet? I’m too lazy to google it.

What’s the temperature now on Mayo being one and done?

Pretty much waiting on Milton to come in and lead us to the promised land still.

This loss was mainly due to the coaching staff, they all look out of their league, Mayo has no clue. Did he not learnt a thing from Belicheck ? No in game decisions, he does not use any time outs, his game plans are horrible. How Kraft thought this was Bill's successor is beyond me ? If they don't realize this, Maye will get ruined , he needs someone like Josh, who can coach him properly, someone that is a very good OC, not a clown show like we have right now !
I actually do feel that maybe the defense was more SB than Mayo. They seem to have regressed. I know they are dealing with injuries, but today for the first time, I felt like some of them were freelancing .
The person or people that are in charge of our strength and conditioning need to be fired. I have never seen so many injuries hit the team all at once , it's ridiculous.
Overall, I am not a fan of Mayo or anything he has done his first off season and his first season as head coach. But I fear we are stuck with him as old Bobby will not fire him for at least 3 years ! Great Patriots player but horrible coach !!!
This season is so frustrating to watch, as we had millions to spend and got no one of value especially on the offensive side of the ball in free agency !

If he continues to make huge brainfarts as he has in the last 2 weeks, I don't see how you have any other choice.

 

[signbabybrady]

Pop had one of his best days as a pro. Coincidence? I think not. That's my simplest analysis of Maye.

Obviously there were some mistakes and accuracy issues at times but overall hard not to be excited.
