PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POST GAME THREAD: Patriots Lose to Steelers 21-14

He needs a piece of the blame pie, but not remotely as much as others who turned over the ball.

He was finally part of the offense today, and came up bad every single time. People *****ing about Mack Hollins, at least that guy does his job.

I hate that this stupid organization still wastes picks on wide receivers. “Oh you gotta keep trying” NO YOU DON’T. It’s been over twenty years and we can’t get it right. Ever.

Pay out the nose for established talent in a trade, and yes that means OVERPAYING. Figure it out.

 

[festy1986]

Thirteenth start and he isn’t playing like Brady in 2007? I guess we have resign ourselves that we have to draft a new QB in the first round in 2026.

It probably has more to do with the fact that in his 13th start he looks worse than his 1st start.

But why bother with the context when we can just peddle in our own narratives?

Another thing about this game, and it was driving me ****ing nuts the first game...nothing deep. No deep throws other than one to boutte that drew a PI. Maye (and the rest of the team for that matter) is way too mistake prone to expect them to consistently drive 10, 12, 14 clean plays for touchdowns. They have absolutely got to throw deep and try to generate some chunk plays.

Agreed. Skippy strikes again

I mean, that's just a lie.

 

[Jim Beankie]

He was targeted 4 times, dropped 2, quit on a route on one, and didn't fall forward to get a first down when that's all he had to do. He's literally one of the veterans on the offense. He's a guy who should know better.

He did not drop 2, c'mon. You talking about the Chuck Knoblach throw in the dirt for one of them?

 

[Kdo5]

The OC and DC were the only reasons they were still in the game.

Second guess on Josh’s play calling at end of half but then again the running backs **** themselves this game so maybe not as bad a decision. Drake had Boutte open for an easy one on the interception.

Otherwise he had them driving all game and the players made stupid discipline mistakes.

You’re an idiot.

On pace for 5.6 wins with 3 garbage opponents in the rear-view mirror

lol stop, flat out BS.

 

[Grogan14]

Obvious thigs that were clear in preseason

The WRs as a group are not good
The RBs are a huge weakspot
Maye is not Josh Allen

 

[PatsFan2]

IF Maye's trajectory is Allen: we'll have to wait a year.

Pretty much that.

Agreed. Skippy strikes again

Our O line wasn’t holding up long enough for a shot down the field.

 

[TommyD4207]

He did not drop 2, c'mon.

Once in the first half, once on the final drive.

 

[festy1986]

I mean, that's just a lie.

Drake Maye made his first NFL start for the New England Patriots on October 13, 2024, in a Week 6 game against the Houston Texans. While the Patriots lost the game 41-21, the start was considered encouraging, with Maye throwing for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns, though he also had 2 interceptions and a fumble.


Here is your friendly Google reminder not to sound stupid when falling someone out as lying.

 

[Rob0729]

It's Maye job to not get tipped.

Everyone is bunched up down there. It's like the only thing he can't do.

Sometimes defensive players just make good plays. Unfortunately they too close to the end zone to throw the ball over the line. So Maye had to throw it through a tight window throw the line. If it is on the offense, it could be on Will Campbell for allowing the defender to push him back into the window.

I have seen the play enough to know who is to blame or whether or not it was just good defense.

 

[festy1986]

lol stop, flat out BS.

See my above post.

His first game was better than today's game. Its literally a fact.

 

[scott99]

That last fumble by Maye…was one of the dumbest plays I’ve ever seen.

I missed it live but he’s trying to shovel it.

Just take the goddamned sack kid.

He’s an athletic Gomer Pyle. Just not a smart player.

 

[borg]

The Ball. Was. Tipped.

Do QBs deserve zero blame for tipped balls?
