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

[Ring 6]

Denver have a 7th Round Rookie WR who's playing better than Second Round Polk.

Literally every rookie receiver is playing better than Polk

Mayo is starting to make me sick, not the condiment, the HC.

Yep.

 

[slash83]

I still am having a hard time believing this staff thought it was a bright idea to put Gonzo on the Rams 3rd best WR, I’m dumbfounded by this strategy.

Gonzo was diplomatic when answering the question of what he thought about that game plan during practice. Also, Mayo's answer was absolutely insane. He saw that it wasn't working and said they could have changed during the game, but decided to stay the course (I'm paraphrasing). Please, someone fire this coaching staff and front office after this season.

He I agree, you know deep down he’s thinking it was a bs game plan and he should’ve been on either Puka or Cupp.

I am at a loss. He absolutely should know that game plans will evolve as the game is played to not make adjustments is very neglectful.

This coaching staff is so inept.

Kraft is setting Mayo up for failure so he can fire him once the team gets rebuilt.

 

[Brewskies]

I didn't watch the game not on my TV in the rehab I am in trying to get my almost 89 year old muscled stronger. But I did read everything written by professionals about the game after it was over. Mayo is Destin to be fired as soon as this team is rebuilt.

 

[Brewskies]

28 -22. The Pats should have won. Pre game was a failure. Defensive coaching was a failure. Mayo management of the game was a failure. Coaching mistake after coaching mistake.

Mayo had Gonzo play the boundaries all day long. The Rams basically stayed away from him.

We have inexperienced/unqualified coaches

Sometimes reality just smacks you in the face so hard that there really isn't much to say. Maybe some some feel, "What's the point?" The Krafts seem unlikely to do anything about the failures at GM or HC, so why talk about it? I don't feel that way, but I understand how some might.

I had some things to do post game, couldn’t stay online. As expected when I got back online it’s several very predictable posters flooding the zone with predictable hot takes. Almost not worth the time and effort to follow here now. It ain’t gonna change, we aren’t gonna change. Same old same old.

You can't be serious. Brady threw his share of interceptions early in his career. There were a lot of repeated mistakes. The interceptions go down as you adjust to the NFL game, read the defense, get your team into the right play, and see the field with experienced eyes. Maye is off to a great start with a horrible team behind a horrible OL with a far below average receiving corp. The difficult level is at 10, and the kid is STILL managing to turn heads and impress people around the league. Let me guess, you didn't want to draft him?

Both your guesses are as wrong as anything can be. No surprise.

 

[n1997y]

The whole staff and team needs more focus on the details in crunch time or at any time. Brady's top recievers were always on the same pg. It's the details these guys are missing. Stop dancing and test each other's knowledge. Down and distance, route assignment, snap count. Your qb is.

What do you expect? The team went from an obsessively detail oriented HC who started learning to coach as a toddler, to a HC who who was selected because of how well he schmoozed in an airport departure lounge.

This looks like when the Madden AI intentionally makes you throw an incomplete pass or INT to the computer.

Had Douglas caught that in stride, he may have taken that to the house.

For Douglas to catch that in stride it would have to be thrown in front of him. Not high and behind him.

and this is funny

 

[n1997y]

I really think his level of play AND leadership are being noticed not only by his own teammates and coaches, but by other teams as well. He will be the reason why free agent receivers and TEs will no longer be against signing with the Pats. I think the Pats will land some GOOD weapons in free agency.

Yes. So he will be very expensive when his rookie deal runs out. If the FO doesn’t put together an adequate supporting cast in the next couple of years he will probably be looking for greener fields elsewhere. They need to turn the corner within the next year, or maybe at the most two years. Can this staff do it?

 

[n1997y]

I'm I the only one wanting Wallace at LG and Strange at C?

I hope so

 

[n1997y]

Fix OL and WR in FAency because we need to use our first 2 picks on D after ignoring it last year.

I want to see all three fixed in FA so we can use our picks to get the best players available to get the most improvement for the picks.

If I understood the quote, it said he choose not to adjust. That’s not neglectful it’s malicious.
