PostGame Thread 2024 OFFICIAL POSTGAME: Pats lose to the Jags 32-16, fall to 1-6

[TomPatriot]

They wanted younger minds.

He had three straight losing seasons.

 

[Zuma]

Almost 300 yds passing on 26/37, 2 TD’s and no INT’s. I’m happy with the progress so far. Need to fix defense obviously.

Disappointed they didn't sit Polk. Maybe next game.

 

[stcjones]

I doubt Kraft pulls the trigger this year. That would be admitting he made a mistake and I do not think his ego would be able to take it.

You might be right ….plus he is ultra cheap

 

[Force Zero Boomer]

He was worse.

As a defensive coach or an offensive coach? He's certainly better than Covington as DC and I wouldn't be surprised if he's better than AVP as an OC -- the bar is low.

 

[State]

They are done. Soft, given up, playing with no passion. Mayo has not gotten the team to play for him, Wolf has not given the team any playmakers on either side of the ball.

Years ago, when they sucked, I was loyal, I knew they were going to get better. Not feeling anywhere this optimistic. I don’t see me giving them my prime Sunday time going forward. Disappointing to say the least.

If players quit, we can too. Everyone has to make business decisions. I could spend the rest of this beautiful day fretting over the paper bag team. What a waste!

 

[Ring 6]

Not guaranteed they’ll miss the two after the next score. Might get a different D, run a different play. Polk may not slip. Lots of variables that might change.

They get one shot at the 2. You want to know whether you are going to make it or not so you can play the rest of the game accordingly.
There isn’t a better or worse chance of making it one time or the other.

 

[lancerman]

Mayo is showing he has a lot of flaws and learning to do if he's going to be the coach going forward.

That said, people are just *****ing about the 2 pt try because it failed. If it worked nobody says anything. And you NEEDED to attempt it if you scored twice eventually. Might as well do it early and figure out right then and there if your next drive needs to be a fast one because you need to go for a field goal later instead of having a slow drive that eats up clock and realizing you needed time to get the ball back.

 

[Patjew]

lol I was getting that out there early, so nobody that will post it has to.

Obviously I feel the opposite but wanted to not see it first from the usual suspects.

It wasn’t obvious to me lol. I was like, da fuq??

Kinda how I feel about it. I made a business decision on the Red Sox, I can with these guys too.

Maye is playing really good ball, they were always going to be a bad football team this year, just gotta endure it and hope they fill big needs in the offseason.

Thing is did anyone see any improvement from last week? I saw plenty and thats what we are looking for. Progress week to week.

And screw the Houston coaches. Might put that as my sig now.

 

[pctronics0072]

Maye is already well above average, and he’s not even close to his ceiling.

Maye did really good for a rookie in his 2nd game. However, The Crybaby also looked pretty good early on.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

On the plus side its a qb league and we seem to have landed one. The OL was honestly decent until the last drive, they hopefully can at least allow drake to grow. We need way better receiver play outside of pop and henry.

Everything else was awful and has been since week one. The only hope here is kraft is willing to move on from mayo after the season if this keeps up, but i don’t think its gonna happen. You just have to hope we can turn things around in time before maye gets ruined or wants out.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I doubt Kraft pulls the trigger this year. That would be admitting he made a mistake and I do not think his ego would be able to take it.

If they don't win another game, I think it's more likely Bob pulls the trigger. Saying he wanted to win which was why he fired Bill, yet does worse is a really bad look on Bob.

Maye could be intriguing for a guy like Ben Johnson.

 

[ViperGTS]

You might be right ….plus he is ultra cheap

Tell him he can get free rubdowns without any issues at the establishment of his choice and I am sure he will be right on it.

 

[mgcolby]

I can't believe Bentley meant that much to the run game. Its been atrocious since he went down. Van Pelt and Polk should be left in London. Polk couldn't catch covid if it was spit in his mouth! And then you run a two point play designed to go to him? And he ****ing falls, just literally falls.

And this new lets all be open and talk to the media about our feelings and ****...has been old for weeks now. Rookies shouldn't be talking to the media stating ignorant **** like I don't have any mental issues and then you solidify that statement by stating you have the best hands in the NFL. Yes, son you do have mental issues and it starts with being a mental midget! This team needs to STFU and play football.

On a positive Maye, Henry, Douglas and Boutte are solid offensive nucleus need a true #1 and at this point nearly an entire OL. But I'll start with a healthy starting 5 two weeks in a row. That would be nice.

He won’t launch Mayo or Wolf after 1 year. He cannot admit he screwed up that bad and fix it that fast.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Maye did really good for a rookie in his 2nd game. However, The Crybaby also looked pretty good early on.

To be fair, Maye has more elite traits. I would bet on him being better than Mac Jones. Even if that's not a high bar to get over.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Maye - 26/37 for 276 yards with 0 turnovers. The rookie QB is doing his job.

This team looks like it's on its way to the #1 overall pick. What can they get for that? Mixed results from 13 previous trades of the #1 overall pick, but a top receiver and four draft picks seems reasonable. If I'm Bob Kraft, I set up a meeting with Danny Ainge to advise on the next move.

The Jags dropped two sure INTs and rightly just knocked down the Hail Mary instead of picking* that one off.

What an awful display of football by the Pats. They won’t be good again until Kraft is gone. His ridiculous comment about regretting giving BB too much power. Well this is the team Kraft put together and they just got blown out by a 1-5 team.

 

[Zuma]

Polk has caught just 44% in 6 games…no that’s not ok…it’s bad. It’s ok to sit him for a few games. I do expect him to be our WR2 of the future but he needs a break.

Yes sit Polk for a few games. Do it.

 

[ViperGTS]

Mayo calling his guys soft lol.
