PostGame Thread 2023 Week 8: Patriots fall 31-17 to the Dolphins

[Ian]

Obviously a frustrating loss. Discuss here.

 

[gtfanboy]

The team is crap but holy f*ck, the refs...

That INT before the half was back breaker. If they went in 14 tied, maybe there was a shot

 

[jboston19]

#1 off-season priority is getting a ref to make calls for us. WWE level officiating makes a difference!

 

[PatsfanTN]

Sorry fellas…BB gotta go. GM and coach. Owned by McDaniels, time has passed him by.

 

[Jlaff]

Bill still winless vs. the gender ambiguous coach/left-handed QB combo.

And @Kontradiction banned. Another great day, things just keep getting better here. /s

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Kraft needs to make Bill sell anything anyone will buy.

Team goin nowhere but could win just enough to ruin draft position

 

[lancerman]

Bill built a hell of a team. So talent, so disciplined, come up clutch in the big moments. Well coached. Great play calling.

Don Shula must be looking up from hell with a smile on his face

The closer we get to drafting a bonafide NFL starting QB, the better off we'll be.

I'm not saying we should tank, but it is better for the team to move on from Mac as fast as possible.

That should be glaringly obvious.

One play: the out to Hunter Henry. Delivered with no zip. He barely got a first down. With any zip on the ball, that's a 20 yard gain.

I'm not going to mention all the other problems he had. But we have a major problem at QB. Organizationally, they can go nowhere with that.

Gotta play for draft position. Sell any piece worth selling

Season is over and it is not yet november...sad...
2-6 enough said...

 

[PaulNEPats]

On the bright side the Giants are about to win. That’ll help the draft position.

 

[StanleyGrogan]

Feels bad man.

 

[FCB02062]

2-6, last place

 

[PatsFan2]

Just Trade who we can I hope we don't win another game.

 

[Grogan14]

Bill and pats will start racking up wins against hapless teams now that season is over. Just enough to make sure we can not get blue chip talent.
Somehow Pats have also managed to get their most tradeable assets injured

 

[VectorPrime]

They are gonna win a couple of their next 4 games to go to 4-8 and ruin the draft and it’s gonna suck.

 

[VJCPatriot]

They are who we thought they were. And we are who we've been.

Miami showed why they're the #1 offense in the NFL. Two 100+ yard games from their top two receivers. 31 points put on the board.

The Patriots offense lacked the firepower to even hit the 20 point mark or to ever realistically catch up.

Mac Jones making a few plays here and there but coming up short as usual.

We're 2-6 and maybe it's time to evaluate whether or not now is the time to start TANKING for Williams.

Because we're definitely not making the playoffs with this team.

The lack of offensive talent and the difference in overall talent was quite obvious today.

 

[Ross12]

The bones of the team are probably around a .500 team with a more league-typical schedule. They need to replace the QB and probably the coach and GM to turn the corner and contend again.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Still winless against Tua.

 

[FCB02062]

need to go 7-2 to sniff the playoffs
