Chung, Flowers & Rowe out Sunday

[maineman209]

I know. He's succeptible to them.

He's getting to be like Bob Sanders, minus the talent.

 

[RobertWeathers]

It will be what will make the Pats move on from him. Maybe even before the trade deadline if any of the rookies flash.

I know I'm in the minority but I don't think Rowe is THAT bad. In certain matchups hes very capable. However if he continues to play like he did on Sunday and can't stay healthy, maybe they need to move on...

Harmon should be okay there.

You would think with the money we’re paying him. Hopefully his coverage is a lot tighter than what we saw last week.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Yeah I just don't buy it

He very well could have come up lame again after giving up the td but let’s not kid ourselves. He was sucking pretty bad before that point. Injuries shouldn’t be an excuse for what happened to him.

He’s not in the category of a Duane Starks when he was here. He’s just not that good. Mediocre would be a good word to describe him.

Duane Starks.....Jesus was he bad.

3rd pick for him too.

I don’t think to this day I’ve seen a corner of ours get beat on a more
consistent basis than starks.

Allowing 3 of 5 for 41 yards is a hella lot better than what Rowe did.

Well if Rowe is the benchmark then yeah Harmon would’ve passed since we’re grading on a curve. I still have visions of Harmon getting abused by niles Paul last week. That shouldn’t happen.

Extremely inconsistent from play-to-play. When he's even available, which is only about half the time.

 

[TommyD4207]

Optics. Not dressing a vet without an injury excuse sends the "doghouse" message to the rest of the team.

The message is between him and BB.

I could be wrong. Just a hunch

I mean, I don't think he was necessarily 'benched' against Jacksonville, I think he got hurt. Not that he played great beforehand, but it would make sense - and it's not like Rowe hasn't hurt his groin a million times before.

Yeah since you mentioned him 15 minutes ago I've been going through the list and I'm coming up empty. Every CB is burnt now and then but he was torched consistently

Jonathan Wilhite says hello.

Yeah but they put him back in.

Pretty much everybody in coverage got abused by somebody at one point or another.

Actually, except for the LBs. The four of them allowed 7 catches on 14 tgts for a total of 62 yards. And KVN got a pick (with an assist from JJ).

 

[TommyD4207]

Yeah but they put him back in.

I mean, they put Chung back in too, and he had a concussion.

I'm not trying to excuse Rowe's play, anything but - but I think he's legitimately hurt.

Other than the moncrief score I thought Gilmore played very well. Johnathan Jones was good at times too.

The Chung situation highlights how discombobulated the gameday concussion protocol is. What a mess.

...and he had no chance on Cole's catch. Epic.
