Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread - Week 10 Pats @ Titans

I'm not overly concerned about what this indicates going forward. The team, as a whole, had a poor game. It happens.

They'll be alright in terms of winning the division, and barring a complete meltdown, should get the #2 seed.

They certainly need to improve if they hope to go deep in the postseason.

Steelers have seed 2 now

Hopefully is not referencing a Super Bowl birth

Probably is what they were referring to which is odd.

 

[chasa]

for those wonder:

Offense is NOW no longer rolling.

 

[primetime]

They do but he hasn't been that guy all year.

My eyes almost popped out my head when I read he was our best offensive weapon in a eariler post by someone else.

That poster needs to apologize to White & realize Gronk might be all but done.

TE1/2 are definitely needs going forward.

Also & I think you know I'm not talking about or down to you but we need some context.

This offense was put together on the run w a bunch of moving pieces & parts. It's been a similar story to years past, we can't get everyone on the field together but it's true this year as well.

Very interesting 2nd half & off-season coming up.

Yeah, but we see an offense today that's become too reliant on White. Take away White, as Vrabel did with blitzes and brackets, and they're flailing. Gordon is a special player but he's still not on the same page with Brady for reasons you've articulated here. Edelman is Edelman but half a step slower than he used to be. A healthy Gronk, even one that isn't the Gronk of yesteryear, needs to be respected in a way that changes the offense's dynamic.

Because obviously, any loss affects our seeding.

Unless, you'd rather spend the day analyzing and breaking down and rehashing this contest.

Meow.

NEWS FLASH: we are not going to earn the #1 seed

This is not a good team. Not right now. (That could change)

Steelers have seed 2 now

That upcoming Steelers game will be like a playoff game for sure. CBS will be wetting their pants right now. Winner probably gets the #2 seed. Pats desperately need that bye week.

The Steelers have also played one fewer game, and are on the schedule. Beat them and the #2 seed is secured.

 

[sb1]

Tough loss but more importantly... please be ok Edelman

 

[FCB02062]

Just wonder how this offense would be if instead of Gordon they had Mitchell...and if Brady didn't blow off everything non-mandatory in the off-season

 

[aluminum seats]

but this penchant Brady has for zeroing in on certain players seems to have come back

Yep. When Brady’s not going good he focuses too much on Edelman and that only makes things worse.

We just lost to the Titans ... we might go 11-5 this year

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

We are not getting the bye this year ... hope I’m wrong

Well, we look pretty good now in terms of tie breakers, and we're certainly not going to spend the bye week fat & happy.

I love our chances. But, like always, they ain't gonna just hand the trophy over without a fight.

It's likely we will probably need to do two out of these three:

- Win out at home

- Win in Miami

- Win in Pittsburgh (again)

Post game thread now up...will leave this thread open for a little while

If JE is done this team isn't going anywhere

Maybe. Edelman hurting his foot for the 95th time in his career won’t help. If he’s not able to go for awhile or even worse, out for the year, we won’t sniff anything close to the 2 seed.

The Titans are not a terrible football team, and sometimes good teams lose to not-so-good teams. It doesn't mean that good team can't win in the future.

 

[Racervx54]

What a down right ****y showing today.... Just awful all the way around...

 

[TomPatriot]

Might run the table too.
