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

So Polk slate wasn’t wiped clean when Maye started? You do realize he was worse with Maye than with Brissett right?

Game right after his missed TD. Seems like it messed with his head. Might be a little bit of a confidence thing.

You are honesty kidding me right? Not getting his foot down last week caused him to okay his worst game of the year, in the game they changed QBs so you couldn’t make that excuse any more?

So you are telling me he is a player who when he can’t get his foot down, he hits in the tank and doesn’t show up the next game. Thats probably worse

Mayo really can’t say the best players play and keep sending Polk out there.
Although today he seems to have changed his story to “ seeing what young guys can do is more important then winning”

No other explanation when he drops passes that hit him square in the hands. I'm not him, you want the real answer, ask him.

I’m asking you because you are evaluating.
There are many answers. He doesn’t get separation so he can only get 2 real targets all hand until the last garbage time play when he gets all of his 1 catch for 4 yards stats. Dropping passes is dropping passes, not poor vision because you are still crying from how you played last week.

He has been a complete and total as failure. Why do you feel the need to make excuses, and when the excuse goes away create and even crazier one?

He caught one pass for 4 years and dropped 2 others because right now he sucks and doesn’t belong on the field. I don’t have to ask him, I know. Hopefully he does too.

You guys are tough.

How is it tough to be down on a guy producing less than Nkeal
Harry? Should I just ignore it, and be happy out starting WR is 178th in the league in receiving yards?

Correct Bill. We are all worried about his coaching situation. I lose track of how many coaches he has. I think at least 3. Is that a good thing?

Yeah it did seem out of character. The person who posted on X was a rando, not an account associated with the show. And it was a picture with the text written, instead of a clip where he supposedly said it.

Oops, my B for believing it.

The guy who gave Mac Jones that bum Patricia in his 2nd season is worried about the coaching situation for Maye? Laughable.

I am optimistic on this team going forward. It was 14-7 coming out of halftime. The strip sack was after the missed facemask on AG4, that would have put us our 37 1st and 10. Who knows what happens at that point. Maye made some plays that looked like actual QBing by manipulating defenders, the TD on the TE leak to Henry was beautiful because had he immediately locked onto Henry the LB would have swarmed.

McMillan needs to be benched. The long runs had several breakdowns but McMillan was woefully woeful(I have no other words). I am hoping Taki Taki ramps up and takes over the middle backer spot. Covington and Mayo need to figure out they can more pressure on the QB and slow down the running game.

It's also a fake quote. McAffee didn't ask him about Maye in the interview.

I guess I wasn't the only one who felt the refs looked like they were going out of their way to give this game to Houston: Social Media Is Convinced That The NFL Refs “Rigged” The Texans-Patriots Game

I don't know about rigged. They missed a blatant trip by Dugger in the game too.

Also the much vaunted Christian Gonzalez was absolutely roasted on a bunch of plays yesterday. I get that it was poor effort all around on D but there were guys so wide open at times that I could have made those catches.

Most of those plays were in zone. Were there some in man against a great WR in Diggs? Yes, but one, we shouldn't make snap judgements in the vacuum of a single game and two, zone coverage is not judged the same way man is regarding DB coverage. They were in zone a ton Sunday.

If there are numerous other examples that emerge over the course of the season, especially in man coverage, then you can sound the alarm bells.
