Official Game Day Thread- Week 2 Pats @ Jags

[Run DMC]

Ho hum. A stinker today was in the cards, 97 degrees!. Bad play and bad coaching all the way around. " A teachable moment...", barf.

 

[JayNM]

Pats semblance is cristal clear... they are melting out there, looking lethargic

I did not watch Bortles beat us, literally none of his hits were contested by defenders (arrived in the 2nd quarter)

Gotta see how we adjust.. this hole is big, but recoverable. However we need another team in the 2nd half to do it

It’s one thing to lose but this team hasn’t shown up one bit. The effort has been embarrassing.

 

[Arialgg]

Ok, let’s see what Bill can do with the D in halftime. I’ve watched the Patriots enough to know that we can still win...but damn.
I was concerned about our O against the tough Jags D, but I did not expect our defense to play so atrocious.

 

[ANGR89]

I don't think the game is over, not feeling great, but if we come out after half get a stop, and score right away I will feel soooo much better.

Quick half time thoughts. I thought the Pats played good pass defense on the first 2 downs, but shat the the bed on that last one. The DB's HAVE to keep separation and not pick each other off, like what happened. Good play design, but I have to think that they have practiced that route several times this week.

To me on 2nd down, the Jags WR clear offensive pass interference. Nothing was called or mentioned.

All the people who were patting Flores on the back last week can see from this half some of the problems that are caused when you play "aggressively".

Again this is the very definition of an "adverse condition" It will be interesting to see how they respond

 

[AlexB]

No punt returner? No problem, just don't let them punt

 

[FCB02062]

Pats let Houston back in the game last week, bet Jacksonville doesn't let the pats back in...

It sucks that all you guys missed the 3rd and 4th quarter against Atlanta a few years back.

I'd be surprised if we pull this one out. We were moving the ball on ATL throughout the game, it was a matter of time before we started scoring.

Jags D is making it very tough on us. We can't mount a comeback without the defense getting a turnover or at least holding them out of the end zone.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Pass rush looked ok with Flowers in there. Hard to believe one player makes that much difference.

 

[catent]

The defense is constructed to handle spread offenses. A traditional offense like JAX's with a strong OL will tear them apart.

Has Shelton been on the field?

They just look really poorly prepared and poorly coached, and the same faults are elements that we've seen for quite awhile now.

For someone who seems so adaptive, intelligent, capable of evolving, and never makes the same mistake twice, Belichick has repeatedly constructed and coached a team with some clear and easily exploited faults.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Jags still have a chance in my opinion.

We got em right where they want us

 

[fnordcircle]

Gonna buck the trend in this thread and keep rooting for the New England Patriots. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

3 and out and score a td. If they give any points you can forget about it.

Hogan’s a decent player but the guy is not one that can beat man coverage.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

will B.B. give us the usual postgame speech?

 

[mosslost]

In for Rowe who has few grains left in the hourglass. Jackson should dress next week for Rowe.

Did we bench Butler?

 

[SammyBlueCat]

OL & DL look overmatched

 

[bormio]

It’s one thing to lose but this team hasn’t shown up one bit. The effort has been embarrassing.

Execution and mistakes are one thing, not competing is another.

 

[Bradyking12]

3 and out and TD or we're f*cked.

************ they went to the Super Bowl last year and won last week.

Spare us the drama huh?
