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

[Grogan14]

Also, Campbell has been excellent through 3 games.

Not today

Wanna bet Rham says...

The last time we turned the ball over 5 times was 17 years ago

 

[Ring 6]

Not today

Sure he was zero sacks.

The Int was not a “bad turnover” it was tipped at the line. A qb can’t control that.

Don't throw a flat pass through traffic when a touch pass into the corner would have eliminated potential hazards

Even my 15yo son called it in the 1st qtr. The red throwbacks are a cursed uniform the last 2 years.
5 fumbles in a game??? I have never thought these uni's are great. I'm fine getting rid of them, and going with anything else.

blame the head coach
blame the OC and DC
blame the fumblers
blame the receivers
blame the QB
blame the Defense

and now, blame the uniforms! ROFL

To be fair. I literally blamed everyone. I even blamed Mayo.

 

[Peachhead]

Maye played plenty well enough to win.

Agreed, but I don't think Stevenson was "80% responsible for the loss". There were widespread errors today.

 

[PatsFan2]

You think the color of the uniform makes a difference in winning or losing?

0-2 @ Home so far not good.

Let me go ahead and call out your ********:

Let me go ahead and call out your ********:

Is 7 pressures a good stat?

It's a sick feeling, because we coughed up a game that we were better on the field for about 50min of game time.

The unlucky bounces and turnovers can be fixed. We showed improvement.
The D seems like they're working things out, personnel tweaking and awaiting their #1 CB to return
The O has shown potential, just not consistency. QB just completed his 13th full game played, he has to have time to grow.

Stevenson should get lost somewhere unforgivable.

I’d say he did pretty good today, yep.

He’s also looking a hell of a lot better than Kelvin Banks jr right now.

Maye needs to learn take the Sack and not take points off the board.

 

[PatsFan2]

Then why are you saying zero shots downfield?

I was going off Zo observations we need more shots.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Those pressure stats show a pretty shocking picture.

Onwenu giving up most pressure , beating out Bradbury. Those two are BY FAR the weak links on this team over TWO ROOKIES.

You gotta replace them both in the offseason AND Moses because he’s ancient.

Needing 3/5 new O-line players is not good.

 

[jdlboot14]

Trying not to dwell on negatives.
But our WR's are not winning enough.
And, the OL on pass plays has not been great. A lot of collapsing pockets.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Some thoughts
1. The Patriots looked today like the team many of us said in August they would be: an eight win team with potential to be a little better...or a little worse...

2. Five turnovers and still a one score game. The D will keep them in games, but the Offense has an f-wad of stuff to sort out.

3. Stevenson? Vrabel shouldn't have given him the ball after the first fumble. Gotta give him a chance next week, but he should be on a very short leash.

4. Maye? TBD. Some strong moments and drives (with and without a Turnover ending them)...no doubt he can play in this League, but we're a long way from anointing him a Franchise guy.

 

[Pacific Coast Patriot]

I'd like for you or anyone else find me the last team to turn the ball over 6 times and lose by a single touchdown.

Under normal circumstances they is a ass whooping.

How is that rage bait?

You rather ironically just proved our point. A team that can almost get a win vs a perennial playoff team despite that many turnovers, must be doing something right!

The play didn’t call for a touch pass. My god watch the play stop making things up.
