no uPats were outplayed tonight. Too many mistakes and the defense didn't come close to living up to the (insane) hype.

This loss is on the defense. With more stops, the offense drives the field a couple more drives and maybe squeaks out a tight game. Let's not pretend we win this game with the defense getting physically dominated. No Antonio Brown or Gronk turns the tide when your defense is playing like a shell of themselves. I guess it is easier to blame BB/RK than it is to say this one is on the players.
Only for the Patriots it is...
I've never seen the Patriots lose before. What's this?
SanuRavens were the better team tonight on the whole. The undefeated season is over. I still think they are the favorite to win it all and I don't think the Ravens are honestly that good. Just a bad game vs a decent enough team with key plays, penalties and turnovers going against us.
I don't think the Ravens have what it takes to stay with us in the race for the top seed. But it will add some drama.
Overall there were some encouraging things from the offense today. They drived more than they had in the past. There are a bunch of bad things but also good things to build on.
The simple fact is our D isn't built to handle the Raven's offense. They should have done better than surrendering 31 points though. If they see them again i think they will have a better showing.
Dorsett absolutely vanished tonight.
I never liked that. And, against reprisal on this board, I didn't like Van Noy's ****iness.I wish I could be a fly on the wall when bb dresses these fools down. "Boogeymen? Ha, you don't deserve a f'king nickname!"
I'm not going to lay this all on the defense.
Basically 3 and out, 1st down plus 3 and out for the offense on the first two possessions.
Critical fumble by Edelman scooped up for a free TD for Baltimore to start the second half.
Big dropped pass by Watson when we were on a comeback drive.
And a what the hell happened INT by Brady. I'm not sure if the ball got away from him or he expected Sanu to be somewhere else.
Plenty of blame to spread around. Mistakes were made. We're moving on to Philadelphia after a bye week that might allow Wynn and Harry to finally get healthy, hopefully.
