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

[Rob0729]

Yes. Maye has been really, really good as those 2 yard passes the last two weeks.

Beautiful to watch.

Ok, I get it. You are just a hater. You want to see what you want to see and ignore what actually happened on the field.

Brady’s gone. You don’t have to hate every QB the Patriots have until the end of time until the Patriots get a Brady clone. Jet Brady should be in the NFL draft in like ten years. See you then.

Can't blame the Refs: we had many chances in spite of.

Not blaming them, just saying they were pretty bad today.

 

[Ring 6]

Looking at it totality.. I think most would say we would probably have the record we have through 3 games.. Panthers aren't a cake walk next week.. they have much better skill position players than the steelers.. leggett and king tet.. that last TD for Pitt Marcus was beat off the line of scrimmage.

We should be 2-1. If we played these 3 teams in November when this team has matured we would win all 3 easily.

 

[stcjones]

Hard game to watch. Never seen a team try so hard to give away a win. We were clearly better than the Steelers.

I don’t think we are better than them ….pretty equal ….but should Pats have won today ….definitely. Too many mistakes

 

[ViperGTS]

Someone understands what they saw.

You know the Steelers for most of today was run, run pass, right? Drive after drive. Not many opportunities to sack the old man.

You can't win football games with your quarterback playing the way he did today.

Not sure why you keep comparing Maye to the goat. That's crazy.

0-2 at home. AGAIN!
Don't know why Stevenson can't put 2 games together where he dominates. To fall back into the fumble issue is mindboggling.
And Henderson is not impressive when the bell-cow. Or when they know he's running.
We haven't won 2 games in a row since Nov. '22. Can't even believe it.

Help me understand the point you're making here and the one you're disputing.

Spillane had a good game:

15 tackles, 10 solo
1 PD
1 TKFL
1 INT, 37 yard return

P.S. it is Vrabel. He played here, some of you have his jersey. Vrabel's name is on the TV like 40 times a game day.

Spillane finally played well today, was happy to see that. I’d want to see the full snap counts, but it seemed like the defense turned things around when Gibbens and Mapu went out for Ellis.

Now we're comparing Maye to Brady.

To say I hate Maye, with zero history of knocking the guy because I finally had enough of his poor decisions is wild.

He did not have a good game today. It's not a debate.

No I am saying Brady would do the same thing on that play. In fact, every good QB has done the same thing in that situation.

You would have been happier if Maye took the sack on that play. I was happier he got rid of the ball to avoid the sack.

He played lights out at times and had a couple of bad mistakes. He led the Pats on 17 play drive and 13 play drive. It was a mixed bag today.

 

[ViperGTS]

Help me understand the point you're making here and the one you're disputing.

That Maye got sacked 5 times and Rodgers none.

 

[mgteich]

I've come around on this.too. we don't need to totally not use pop but.. chism gives a different look....

???
Why not have Pop inactive and Chism active?

Exactly. You can see the absolute elite traits he has. 13 games, not even one full NFL season and the second coaching staff. And he has corrected a lot of stuff from last year.

 

[sb1]

Seriously what’s the appeal of Stevenson? He isn’t as good as Blount or Law Firm or anyone else that you’d want to compare him to positively in the power back role.

Why is he on this team?

 

[Grogan14]

Maye has potential. He is not there yet. Is he progressing as quickly as hoped for …no

He will NEVER be Josh Allen
Best case is poor man’s Justin Herbert.

I knew he could not lead the drive at the end to tie up the game. He has been consistently unable to engineer succesful High Pressure, Drives At The end of games

 

[DC Patriots]

He’s saying you can’t sack the QB on a running down

 

[Pacific Coast Patriot]

I didn't think we were going to win heading into the game, but when you basically shut down Rodgers (2 very generous calls spotted them 11 points early).. and then you move the ball at will, to inside the 5 only to give it away...

Another day this could have been a 28-10 Patriots blowout win. So frustrating, but already light years better than last year let's be real.

Last year most of the games were over before halftime and we showed zero fight. This year we are actually competing until the last play of the game.

He didn't play well enough to win the game and made critical errors.

Why would you dispute that?

He's not why they lost. They lost because they all sucked.

That Maye got sacked 5 times and Rodgers none.

Maye is under a lot of pressure. He needs to be better at identifying and avoiding it. Just like the oline needs to be better a protecting him.

I'm not blaming Maye for the loss. Not sure why y'all are taking that away from my post.

Poop was at the Sticks and went backwards on a crucial Fourth Down. Great Football IQ right there...Poop Stinks.
