First half observations

Maye and Josh haven't figured out this offense. I hope they can improve on that this half time.

DB had a great suggestion. Use some screens to quell the rush a bit.

Our OL looked like what we HOOED the Charger's OL would look like.

Our pass rush SUCKED against the supposed horrible Charger OL.

But for some reason it seemed to pick up that last drive - Did we figure out something or did LA's OL suddenly revert to form.

Offense and Maye look rough. Bad stats but not horrible results.
 
HALFTIME REVIEW

TOUGH GAME; LOVE THE GOAL LINE DEFENSE....HECK OF A TIME TO START MAKING RED ZONE STOPS. DEFENSE HAS BEEN GOOD, ESPECIALLY RUN DEFENSE.

FELT WE WERE RUNNING THE BALL OK, NEED TO KEEP IT BALANCED. PASSING GAME HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE

WE NEED TO PROTECT THE BALL AND FORCE A TAKEAWAY....THAT MAY BE WHAT DECIDES THIS GAME
Hey Pyper... good to see ya
 
Really feel like the TE’s need to get targeted
 
My view says that it was "upheld" as no gain? So still 4th down?
LOL, yours changed too...that was a weird sequence.
 
No matter what they cannot get down by 2 scores in this game the way the SD defense is playing. They're dropping 8 guys Alot and Maye is skittish
 
I’m waiting for Chism to run Edelman’s 3 yard TD play from the Seattle SB. I’m sure Josh remembers that one and could be a nice game winner! Just sayin…..
 
On a separate note, it's worth noting that while some of the vets have playoff experience with other teams, almost nobody on the roster has PO experience with the Patriots.
 
A turnover will really help get things back on track here.

I realize they're winning but if any of the previous 4 games are to go by it's gonna come down to the final drive and I'd rather get back that lost possession.

Coin toss loss could be sneaky huge here with such a low scoring game. Extra possession matters

Josh needs to break his reputation for not making great halftime adjustments Now! We need to get back to quick screens and short passes ….Get TE involved in receiving and pass blocking ….Keep running it down their throats!
 
I thought i had read that the chargers o-line wasn't very good do to injuries. Doesn't seem that bad
It's that the Patriots have no legit pass rusher.

Put them against Denver or Houston and they will get destroyed

I have to say…is it that they aren’t bad, or that our D line is really bad at pass rushing?
 
There are many scenarios worse than ‘up by 3’. But things need to improve for NE to deal this.
 
I like the idea of more screen plays. But so far LAC’s defense has been playing really well and as expected.
