Patriots Pregame Thread Titans Fire Head Coach Brian Callahan / Week 7 Pregame Discussion

[Real fan 02]

Just checked, Browns O is 5th worst in yardage per game, and the worst scoring O in the league.
That's gross!

Yeah.. with thier QB comedy show as well. Is Watson still on that roster?? We just need to play our game as we've been doing all season on offense and we will have a chance in any game this year

Oh no... then the Pats will need a guy with a deep ball on offense.

Oh that's right...

A win is a win, I will take it anyway we can get them.
That said, I would have to imagine we went into both the Buffalo and Miami games thinking we could run the ball as they are 2 of the 3 worst run Ds in the league.
We managed 3.3 yds/carry and 60 yds against Miami, and 71 yards and a 3.2 yds/carry avg against the Bills.
A win is a win, and it was great that Drake could do enough to win those games, but I can only imagine we went into both those games thinking we could run, and we really struggled.
I haven't lost all hope, but at this point I have to see them be successful on the ground before I believe it will happen.

It appears the opposite was happening vs Buffalo. The bills over committed to cover their run D and we took advantage and threw the ball.
We opened the game by throwing 15 of the first 22 plays.

Checkers is attack weakness, chess is look at what they are doing a d attack the scheme.

I've always felt once the inactives are announced the game day thread isn't out of line. I hope we see something from Williams and Efton today in the passing game.

Jealous of the Tennessee rain. Hasn’t rained here in thousands of years. Dry wells are a PITA.

Go Pats.

The biggest concern for me is how bad we've run the ball when we've had the lead and tried too bleed out the clock.
Be really nice to be able to close out games on the ground and not make every week a potential heart attack for me.

I didn’t notice Duggar allowing a play after the first play.
Putting a SS man to man on a #1 WR while blitzing is a play call issue not a SS issue.

With the less <4 minutes to go we are 12 rushes for -4 yards.
Totally agree, that, and not breaking 10+ yards are the main concerns.

One could only imagine that has a lot to do with the position the Browns offense is putting their D in.
Even great D's struggle to overcome bad field position, turnovers and time of possession.
I haven't done the research, so I am speculating, but I would guess the Browns ineptness on O has contributed to the Browns D giving up points.

That piqued my curiosity enough to look. The Browns are 18th in opponents average starting field position and 16th in terms of TOP so pretty middle of the pack on those two. They are 28th (-4) in turnover differential and 22nd in RedZone TD efficiency but 30th in point differential.
I was genuinely surprised by their TOP (30.37) being on the plus side.

That is surprising.
Thanks for doing the research.

Well the browns defense shows up to the game with the browns offense. Thats how it works.

 

[Ring 6]

Rham is running not to fumble rather than running with the physicality he normally does. Henderson is thinking to much.. he needs to use his god given speed to hit the edges to get around defenders.

No. It’s the blocking

It seems the Brownies inability to finish, more than anything else, is their primary fail point.
From what I've heard that can be frustrating.

So they can pass block just not run block?
