Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Week 15 Pats @ Bengals

[Kontradiction]

Brady is just as much at fault as everyone else on this offense.

He’s also playing with an injured elbow and is getting dry humped up and down the field because the right side can’t hold the edge for more than 1.5 seconds.

 

[Mack Herron]

A bad OL and inaccurate QB are good reasons to switch to a more mobile QB with a healthy elbow. But it’s TB so Bill won’t do it.

 

[PP2]

It is terrible. Just terrible. Can't block in the passing game and can't block in the rushing game.

Having their worst game of the year today. Brady's elbow isn't helping things either.

 

[primetime]

Cannon blows....been mostly horrible his entire career

You got a bunch of disagrees on this post and I just want you to know that it's because you are Extremely Wrong

 

[Redman443]

So to get this straight...

Edelman is failing to get the timing right.
Sanu is failing to get the timing right.
Meyers is failing to get the timing right.
Harry is failing to get the timing right.
White is failing to get the timing right.

I’m as a big a Brady homer as anyone, but this is what bad quarterbacking looks like. Blame everywhere else...because it isn’t perfect. But it never has been, with the offensive line, receivers, etc. Missing open passes kills you.

Honestly I think his elbow is really f’d up. But please stop making excuses for the passes...showing how things are not a magic system makes his career more impressive.

I’ve always been a brady fan, even after the 2014 chiefs game, I knew he was going to be alright but Brady is not the same. This recieving corps is still more talented than 2013 yet are putting up worse numbers. Brady’s passes are off

In the 2nd half, the Patriots need to get Edelman out of the game. He can't make his cuts and is not an asset for Brady. Ben Watson and Matt LaCosse need to be targeted a bit - the seam has been open for them on quick throws.

Michel and the running game is working, especially to the right side behind Mason and Karras. Burkhead is such a versatile player, they need to get him going.

I'm not sure what to do on 3rd and long. Nothing has worked due to poor throws, drops or sacks. They all seem share the blame. Execution, not play calling, is the problem.

At least the defense seems to have gotten into a rhythm.

Edelman should have never seen the field today

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

This team is nowhere near as good as its record. The skewed schedule is handicapping the record.

They way they are playing, I'll be shocked if they win. Next week the bills are in town. That's another L written all over it.

They play like this against the bills they’re losing. I don’t care if the game is at home.

 

[Foxypats]

I love when they go up tempo but today with the injury to Jules, I am not sure that is practical ,
would love to see it though .

I'm sticking with my avatar theory. It has the advantage of being unlikely to stir up angry arguments

From what I saw Wynn played his best game so far. Cannon was an issue however. Him and Mason also messed up a blitz pick up which caused a punt

Mason and Cannon are bad right now. Unfortunately there's no way to fix it right now. All we can do is hope they get better.

Talented. You’re crazy. I don’t know where you’re seeing that.

 

[SVN]

This offense and Josh included lacks trust in itself what it can do. And the injuries are really showing on this offense too.

 

[FCB02062]

Once again, Brady and the offense are so bad that the defense is going to have to bail them out again...the offense can't move the ball, Brady can't hit wide open receivers, so looks like the Defense needs to pitch a shutout.

 

[primetime]

Weird insinuation from the halftime show that Andy Dalton is auditioning to be the Patriots bridge QB next year

But, like, he could be?

 

[r81m]

Brady is definitely off today, I think it is more mental than physical. He doesn't trust the O-line or receivers and that is playing into his mind set

This is something I can get on board with.
But what is the root cause? Not Brady.

 

[Froob]

Folk : has exceeded my expectations. Glad NE signed him.

Is the block his only miss or did he miss an extra point too?

 

[dannydyn]

Remember early in the season when we were blowing the doors off the Jets, Dolphins, Steelers, etc?

16-0b they were saying... LMAO

Josh Gordan Fingertip Catch

BB has mismanaged the receiving position. Really badly. Releasing Gordon was a huge mistake.

 

[ashley]

Thank you for this thoughtful, insightful post. I'm sure the other posters are thanking you

If anyone in here thinks we have a skill player (outside of Jules) that isn't a total JAG, we gotta start mandatory drug testing.
