down 17 no sign of urgency
 
Hold on, so they withstand the 3rd quarter opening drive and hold them to a field goal, and then Zappe turns it over at the 7. That's on Belichick...?
He’s HC, everything is on him. Global climate change happening on his watch doncha know.
 
down 17 no sign of urgency
You are right and that’s what I noticed during the last series… Even on that third downplay they chose a very conservative handoff to Zeke so he gets 3 yards instead of trying to push the ball down field and get aggressive… What do they have to lose at this point
 
BOB can’t adjust he need a week to prepare !
That's an interesting point. We really haven't seen BOB adjust in game. However, it still comes down to the players executing and they just aren't doing that on the O-line.
 
Myles bryant - lighting in a bottle on PR
 
It’s not exactly a newsflash, but the absolute embarrassment that is the offensive talent on this roster is the real issue this season and it isn’t only at QB…

WR, no 3rd down back, TE depth, OL.

So…the entire offense being trash, hand picked by Bill the GM is the anchor.

Defense isn’t elite BUT they are playoff caliber.

Offense isn’t even SEC caliber
 
Is it a sign the Patriots are deliberately tanking that they had 24 seconds to get a play off at the end of the 3rd qtr and just decided to let it run off?

Gotta start taking some chances, but at the same time, they have to try and throw off KC's pass rush in order to have time to push it downfield. Bad situation to be in.
 
It’s annoying two-fold:
A. Patriots were playing a good game against the KC refs and got absolutely refballed on that 3rd down Chiefs conversion no-call hold, then got totally hosed on that turn over call back.

B. That Zappe interception was utterly effing terrible and blew this game, but he was playing well enough before that that I can’t help but double-down on the fact he should have been allowed to try to get this stupid **** out of his arsenal with more games played earlier in the season.
 
I haven't seen anything, but it sure looked to me like Strange tore his ACL. I hope it's not the case, but that's what it looked like.
 
Not to mention the fact you're not going to completely shut down the best quarterback in the league. One of those possessions, as I mentioned, was given to them at the 7yd line. Brutal spot to be in.
And their offense is on the field for about a minute before the punt.

Zappe is regressing
 
Holy awful throw!
 
Douglas catches that if he's 25-feet tall.
