“we”? So why was Gronk out there?
Harmon gave little effort on that play...

I thought you said you were leaving. Why don't you leave?
I thought you said you were leaving.Lol. Get a life
What world are you in? There was no way a gimpy Tannehill was going to be able to throw the ball 69 yards to the endzone. If they were "anticipating a hail mary pass" they didn't "guess wrong". They were being criminally incompetent.
^ Now this mess was funny, haha.Take a valium. You're being even more stupidly idiotic than usual. Going up 5 with 16 seconds left, knowing you can burn off enough time on the kickoff to force Miami to score a 1-play touchdown is perfectly fine playcalling. Virtually every team in the league would have done the same thing.
And the Pats wouldn't be .500 without Michel, White, and McDaniels.
Like I said, they guessed wrong.
Tannehill was gimpy, but it was the last play of the game. Especially because MIA desperately needed it, it is not crazy to believe that a QB, shot up on morphine, would try to throw a 70 yard pass into the endzone.
Stop acting like there was zero chance of that happening. It was definitely a possibility, and Belichick took his chances. I am usually the first one to call out Belichick, but I had no issue with that play. Nobody anticipated getting beat by lateral passes, not even you, so stop pretending.
So McDaniels is this alleged moron you're desperate to get rid of, yet you assume they would have scored a TD if they had gone for it on 4th down. In your mind you might think you can have it both ways, but in the real world that doesn't happen.Running up the score by 7 points and forcing MIA to score twice in under a minute is clearly superior play-calling, but keep talking idiotically, stupidly stupid and idiotic, and trying to convince yourself that running out the clock vs scoring points in the last minutes of a game is slick. "Virtually every team in the league" would have risked losing, if they did what McDaniels did on the last offensive drive, playing not to lose.
Gordon on the vertical and horizontal...Gronk was tardy...so wasn't GilmoreEZ was too deep for a Hail Mary. Gronk out of position got exposed big time.
Maybe Gordon if he stays next season and gets to work on it during an offseason drill.
Gronk, without practicing approach angles or the agility to correct a bad one, was the last hope we had of winning the game.
You can’t say it was entirely his fault, there was a lot of bad situation football played by us today.
No way should he have been on the field over D.McCourty. D.McCourty is on the field and he gets to Drake and pushes him out
I have no issue with Gronk being in on that play. They were anticipating a hail mary pass and they guessed wrong. That was hardly surprising. My issue, as usual, is with McDaniels on that last offensive drive. Where he decided that running off the clock, and depending on Gostkowski who couldn't kick snow off the front porch all game, though he made the FG, was better than running up the score by 7 more points. Mc-stupid-Daniels ran those garbage running backs three times straight, and took the ball out of Brady's hands. Brady who had scored 3 TDs in the RZ previously.
I need McDaniels in GB, and he can take Michel, that pure garbage Birkhead, and James White with him.

Coaching. In my eyes, it has to fall on coaching.
… and Ghost. But that's it.
Well maybe a little O
Maybe a little LOT of Defense. But about all.
At this point, tonight, I just have to laugh.
I'm perplexed.
Sounds like to me that the Pats had their Hail Mary package in on that play and someone didn’t catch it until it was too late. They (Coaches) simply didn’t know the situation, which is unfathomable to me.
Like Bill has said no one play loses the game. This was a combination of screwups that ultimately costed us in the end. The 29th ranked offense put up 400+ yards on us and we couldn’t run against the 30th ranked run defense. Aside from the passing game and the 2 blocked punts we played a pretty poor game.Gronk was in no way in a position to make that tackle. But your best tacklers on the field, put a ton of them inside the 10 and make a GD tackle! Not Gronk's fault per se, but the bonehead who put him out there.
Ghost leaves 4 points on the field = huge.
Brady tacking a sack at the end of the half and not getting the points = huge.
Not kicking out of the end zone and making them go 75 yards = somewhat big. Maybe the extra six yards affords them to make the GD tackle at the 2 yard line.
Could have gone for it from the 6 on 4th down, not made it, and made them go 94 yards in 10 seconds or even less. Or, they get the TD and everything else is irrelevant.
