PostGame Thread 2024 OFFICIAL Postgame Thread: Patriots fall 28-22 to the Rams

Mission accomplished tbh.

In the sense that Maye got more experience, looked good, even better, for the most part; the coaching staff looked more fire-able; and the draft position wasn't too compromised. That's a moral win.

Disappointing by Maye who almost played his first clean game. It wasn't just the Int which was the problem. The sack was huge. It burned a TO and put them in a bad down and distance. I don't think the Int happens if that doesn't happen first. But overall his best game yet. But yes, i am still looking for him to play a clean game soon. He came really close in this one. And he really should at some point even as a rookie. Still time left.

This game was a talent discrepancy game, simple as that.

Maye is amazing. INT ? Sure, but we are talking about the youngest QB in the league and he was tough and effective.

I understood where you were coming from.

Maye has a few rough edges. Worst is his habit of throwing INTs on potential come from behind game winning drives. I hope Thunder can find a QB whisperer to coach him out of it.

Mayo is a jackass for not making STL rekick. The 5 seconds he save did not ****ing matter. It could've been a shanked punt, a block, a good return, or a touch back.

 

[n1997y]

So he threw an interception in a lost season.
Experience gained. His development is proceeding at a good pace

Second time he has thrown such an INT. Development should not include developing bad habits. He is now repeating errors not fixing them.

We had a chance until we got “cute” and took the ball out of the QB’s hand and started that last series 70 yards away with a bleepin run for one, Second down - sack, 3rd and 13 - interception, game over. Soooo frustrating!

How confident can we be that the imperatives of situational football there are being explained to him by his HC or anyone on this coaching staff?

Good thing about this upcoming draft is that teams will have no idea what pick the Pats will make, you can make an argument for CB, WR, and OT

 

[n1997y]

You start to get a rep though. And it doesn't correlate to his performance during the game overall. Drake for the first 3.8 quarters of the game wasn't the same with the INT. That the problem.

Twice. Starting to seem his collar gets tight.

 

[Real fan 02]

Great effort, but too many mistakes made this one harder than it had to be. Discuss.

We know what this team is a bottom roster, with the 3rd overall pick playing his ass off. I will enjoy watching Drake play each week because he is our only reason to watch. Rookie growth each game. This loss is on the defense.

It took Peyton a whole year to figure that out. We're on track on that front. Hopefully some more tools will help him out next year.


Defense is more capable than what we saw today. You could up the talent a bit to some positions, but a majority of it is coaching.

 

[hornetfb85]

Hard to play a clean game with no help. Maye was not perfect, but was the only reason we were even in contention.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

I don't like Drake "I'm giving you one" Maye very much right now. That NEEDs to get ironed out of his system because if it doesn't they ain't going to be winning at a very high level consistently.

It’s pretty clear Maye expected Pop to sit in the zone !

Either he is wrong or Pop was wrong but we will never know because Drake is a good leader and he will bite the bullet even if he isn’t wrong

ohh the what if game, I love it...or could have been downed inside the 5, fair catch is muffed, the punt returner tries to be a hero and run it back and fumbles. This is fun

They'll be in the position of just take the best football player on the board.

Developing him is where AVP seems to be great at. Ints gonna come. I'm not bothered by them...

I just want them to get him a Oline n some receivers next year...

Now the defense.....emmm oh boy!

I agree with this. Bad things can happen on the rekick but chances are that they would have had better field position at a minimum.

This looks more like a miscommunication to me than
a miss by Maye.
