Lazar: Patriots Need to Use Bye Week to Improve Red Zone Offense

[DropKickFlutie]

Play action, qb bootleg, TE in the flat. Call it 3 straight plays.

Jonnu in the flat after play action makes a lot of sense. But he's not getting any play calls, he's treated as a blocking TE2

And if he’s stuck blocking at the LOS - which he ISN’T EVEN THAT ****ING GOOD AT DOING ANYWAY - then he’s being thrown these ****ING STUPID ****ING SEAM PASSES…

Absolutely ****ing idiotic the ****ing way they’re using this ****ing soul-less mercenary…

No lie. It was pretty bad. Receivers can’t get open. Henry or bust.

allow me to rant a bit here. redzone again cost the pats a chance at victory. Myers has scored 1 TD in 2 years as a starter getting the most snaps at his position. Its the definition of insanity to keep putting him out there in goal to goal situations and expect a different result.

Smith had 8(!) red zone Tds last year for the Titans. WTF! Pats need to figure out how to use this guy and smith has to step up his game.

Try something different for cryin out loud! Use Harrys size. Use what worked for Smith last year. Get creative with some trick plays like a shuffle pass or philly special like plays. But please stop failing with the same plays and players.

Sorry for the rant, As BB said, it was a frustrating game

Good points. Curious.
1. Is it because Meyers doesn't get play calls? Even his 1 td he had to run it in from like 20 yards away.
2. Jonnu scored 9 TDs as a Titan. So it's definitely lack of play calling for Jonnu.
3. Red zone actually hasn't been good for several years now since O'Shea left. O'Shea used to run red zone plays. That and no Gronk.
