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

[upstater1]

The Jaguars have the weakest pass defense in the NFL.

You exploited their pass defense in their first 2 drives.

Then you played small ball in your next 3 drives and didn't start throwing the ball down the field again until the last 3rd quarter?

Granted the defense sucked in between those drives, but why did you take your foot off the gas?

This was a great opportunity for Maye.

Vrabel doesn’t win without a talented roster he proved that in Tennessee. Why on earth would he be better here with this untalented roster.

If we still want a defensive coach Rex Ryan is available. Lol

 

[Zuma]

The bigger problem with Polk is not his hands, but his inability to separate. There's a reason he keeps getting clobbered.

IMO it’s 100% mental.

 

[ViperGTS]

Drake was better but who else was?

Oh I was referring to Maye. Nobody else did ****. Osborne was pretty good today though

 

[mike_usagisan]

Reminds me of when I first starting working as a professional after school. In over my head. Questionable decision making. I worked hard though and things started falling in place. I hope its the same for Mayo and Co.

I think they have at least the rest of the season to prove they know how to work through it.

 

[Force Zero Boomer]

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.

He's rich enough to import his own harem

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.

He was 26/32 targeting anyone other than Polk.
It’s a different game if Polk catches the ball.

It's not about winning right now. It's about losing with pride.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Thing is did anyone see any improvement from last week?

Improvement in the defense? Not a chance. It is getting worse.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Polk looks like such a jackass after today, if he hadn’t already.

Drake played quite well although he had two really terrible passes that he dodged a bullet on. Everything else was a disaster.

The second one was a clear miscommunication to me ! He expected Hooper to sit !

 

[ZoisKing]

I think they have at least the rest of the season to prove they know how to work through it.

Yeah. Give them time. We know we lost some major pieces on defense and our offensive line is injured and inconsistent. We have zero skill player stars.

We have a lot of room to grow.

 

[turkeyneck]

The Pats need what RK doesn't want to do - find someone with a superb vision of a football team as a complete system and give them total control, a la Fairbanks and Parcells.

 

[mike_usagisan]

We have a lot of room to grow.

I think this year is all about evaluation. Who are you building the team around and who gives up when it gets tough. Players and coaches need to be evaluated and held accountable.

Get on the Ben Johnson trail quick . If that's not there put a speed dial to Brian Flores and the Fisch dude over at Washington as OC and get S belichick in here as DC.

Mayo should be fired. No point continuing . It looks like a super bad hire.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

Looked like a team with a rookie coach, rookie QB, poor offensive line and overrated defense…

Anyone recommend any 2025 NFL Draft \ Free Agency sites?

I don't think overrated is the right term. We've lost our best DT, best ILB, best edge rusher, and best safety to either injury or whatever. With everyone healthy they could stuff anyone's running game, now they can't. The offense is bad, but the D is now worse, and our ST's let down at a big moment today as well. We have a QB but we need to get healthy as well as improve personnel.

Vrabel never had a QB. An outstanding QB and coach are the basis for a consistently elite team.

 

[UrbanCowboy]

The Drake looked good. Nothing else matters this year! (sorta)

 

[Pacific Coast Patriot]

Drizzy Maye
5 TD
2 INT

Jackson Mahomes' brother
6 TD
6 INT

And Drakes only started 2 games. Now, everyone enjoy your Sunday, we had 20 years of domination, and our future is bright with this kid

 

[Pape]

Eh, I bought into the Maye hype. Should have known better. Thought he would have provided a spark to the team, and for a series and a half, it looked that way... but that spark was snuffed out by ****ty play and the rest of the litany of things that have gone wrong all year...

after the first quarter Jacksonville figured out what we were doing and adjusted to stop it... its the failure of our coaching staff that we do not do this, or we do not do this well enough... Am I wrong? Am I the only one who thinks we go into a game with a plan, and stick to the plan, no matter what? Say what you want about the talent, but they are talented enough to catch passes, to score td's... we've seen it... not its up to the coaching staff to put it together...

in 1994 we played the Minnesota Vikings,,, the Vikings put us in the woodshed in the first half... Parcells made a pivot, and Bledsoe threw for like 70 passes in the game... adjust to the situation, no matter how unbalanced it is... that's a key element, being able to make decisions based on the current situation...

we should have done that today... if the reason for the lack of adjustments is the pass pro, so ****ing what... the OL coach needs to grab a few facemasks and let those guys know - tough ****, its on you to do it... so do it... they won't get better unless they practice... and since there are no pads in practice anymore, then **** it... practice in games til they get it right...
