I disagree, I know they have played two good defenses in Buffalo and SF, but their stats are definitely down and Lamar has been touched by more LB's since he has gone down then he had previously, at least from what I noticed. They have been held under 300 yards the past two games prior to the Pit game was the only game they were held under 300 yards.

Hou 491
LAR 480
SF 283
BUF 257
The shine on BAL has dissipated. HFA or no HFA

It'll be either us or KC going to the SB.
 
Both Sanu and especially Harry are never going to be quick twitched receivers. They're not going to get quick separation like Sanders or Samuel. They are the types that fight for the ball in traffic and make those tough catches.

If Brady is waiting for separation that's never going to happen with these two unless it's a blown coverage.

I don't get why we're not throwing them the ball more and give them chances to fight for those balls since that was their skillset from the beginning.

The problem with you saying that Sanu isn't a "quick twich" receiver is that Sanu was getting open by 3.8 yards (on average) for his catches while in Atlanta. As others have mentioned, he's hobbled by his ankle injury.

While I think they are no shoo-in, they have not lost a game over a very tough stretch. So “ they’re done” seems to be a bit of a reach. I think KC has more issues - Mahomes’ hand and a likely visit to Foxboro again.
 
You said it. They played better defenses the last few games.

I think that is some of it...Skura is a much bigger loss than folks realize. He's an excellent center and as we know when you are weak at that spot, or weaker it can be bad. Tommy can attest.
 
One thing that didn't make sense was the 2pt conversion play call. After 3 successful plays running the ball outside, they decide that ta dive up the middle with White is the best call there? Especially when Ferentz has sucked all game blocking?

They should have called another outside run..

Playcalling has no rhythm or feel. Too much random playcalling at times. Cant find 3 plays to score from the 3 yard line is really disappointing. I think the andrews injury is probably having a bigger affect that we realize.
 
You lost me at Nick Foles. LMAO.

Beckham I can see giving up some draft capital for.

A.B. and Dez aren't walking through that door. Get White more involved. Activate Harris. Rest Sanu & Edelman against Cincinnati and Miami. You don't need an offense to beat those teams anyways. Find out where Dwayne Allen is and bring him in. Where's Lagarrett Blount? Give up a 1st rounder plus more for Nick Foles next year.
 
Can somebody give Fat Pat a ring and tell him to cut Amendola in threatening fashion?

I see it shaping out like this so...

Ravens 13-3
Patriots 13-3
Chiefs 12-4
Texans 10-6
Bills 11-5
Steelers 10-6

Odds are our path to the SB is the Chiefs Divisional Round and the Ravens AFCCG...But watching Lamar and Deshaun going at in the divisional round could be fun...I know we are a long way out, but looking at all of their remaining opponents this is my current best guess.
 
Fo far these are the top excuses why the Patriots have been struggling:

- O-line was at fault
- WR core was the culprit
- Brady's age and throwing mechanics
- NFL officiating
- Peyton Manning's forehead
- Josh McDaniels' play calls
- This message board
- Not having Antonio Brown on the rooster
- Eli Manning picking his nose
- Colin Kaepernick's and Nike's wokeness

Pick ONE already and stick with it, already.

They beat us. They was HOU @BAL. SF @ HOME. The Lambs win was solid. Barely beat SF @ home and sneak past BUF which we did as well.

They are a very, very good team but not a scared-to-death-to-face team.

We have got to win the next 3. I'm still optimistic and in good spirits.

We need the bye. The more practice reps the better

Neither is KC
 
I hope nobody blames the defense for this game. When you only give up 23 points to that offense, it's a darn good game. An NFL offense should be able to score at least 24 points against that sorry Chiefs defense. The Titans with Tannehill did it. The Colts did it with Brissett. Hell the damm Lions got them good. Once again the offense left the defense out to dry.

Those teams have better o-line and generalge much healthier than us. Also, they have legit weapons at their disposal.

Lions have Marvin Jones and Kenny Kalloday, Danny Amendola and a mix of 2nd string and 3rd string RBs

Colts have T.y. Hilton, Eric Ebron, Zach Pascal, Jack Doyle and Marlon Mack

Titans have Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown, Adam Humprhies, Delanie Walker, Jonnu Smith

All 3 have better starting o-line than we do, currently.
