Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Chargers

[A Defiant Goose]

Ok cool I guess you can just stand still for 45 seconds and let your OL push you through

 

[BobDigital]

So... looks like the Pats D just kind of gave up on that. Fell asleep at the wheel and by the time they realized the play was still going, they had lost position and there was no stopping the Chargers from scoring.

JC also needs to stop talking. He got his ankles broken on that drive.

 

[Rob0729]

The refs suck already. Twice forward progress was stopped and they refused to blow the play dead allowing the Chargers to get extra yards. And Hightower was held right in front of the ref on fourth down and no flag.

 

[stcjones]

Yeah I think that’s one of the first times that I haven’t seen them blow the whistle to protect the running backs health there while he’s being just held up and pushed along like a blocking sled… I need to stop allowing that

At what point is a play stopped? Assisted plays like that used to be illegal IIRC and they seem to happen all the time these days.

Yes you’re right hightower was held around the waist and pulled back while they are pushing the pile forward… What is this rugby?

12 year old girls soccer team woulda slowed down that offense better. Pats need to draft a nose tackle.

Jones and the offense is gonna need to score in the 30s.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Why does this D always seem try to tackle high? Seems like grabbing shoulder height is the MO .

Bad technique.

 

[gtfanboy]

Defense has decided to be craptastic again. This unit was supposed to be a strength of the team this year

Have to be aggressive on offense today.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

They havde to start blitzing and putting pressure on Herbert.

 

[festy1986]

Just unleash Mac already.

 

[PatsfanTN]

Damn, we just got punched straight in the mouth.

 

[Thelonious]

Been a Pats fan since they were the Boston Patriots. That was the worst play, the worst effort I've seen in all that time.

They need a REAL DC.

 

[Nunchucks]

This is not looking good

 

[ensoul]

Nothing like a Jets win to irrationally pump up how good the Patriots are.

6th in the league with points against. They just never look good at the start.

Nice Bourne

 

[Ross12]

What even was that touchdown? My brain is telling me that it should've been blatantly illegal, protecting the health of the ball carrier or something like that.

 

[FCB02062]

that defense was definitely more trick than treat
