Official Game Day Thread- Week 3 Pats @ Lions

[primetime]

It’s unfortunately looking that way.

Lol the guy's had a dozen NFL carries with terrible run blocking, and half of them have come on terrible 3rd down stretch plays

 

[moejr]

That was a sad half of football. They need to stop thinking Michel is the answer. They are going to have to go pass happy to win this game.

 

[ZoisKing]

Play calling and line play has been awful. Can't win games by reacting to what the other team does. You have to be a step ahead. Get off on both lines is bad.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Whatever buddy.

Calvin Ridley is great, do we get Julio as well to draw all the coverage to his side?

 

[Guts]

10 pt game hoping for haltime adjustments

 

[MrTibbs]

I wish one of these reporters would simply ask Bill why his D is subpar the last few seasons and if his defensive concepts and schemes are out dated.

He would just stare with no reply......"need to coach better play better blah blah

 

[Satchboogie3]

I wouldn't be completely upset with this team getting blown out tonight. Maybe it's the wake up call they need. I can see them shrugging off last weeks loss as a revenge game against a good team... but there's no excuse for this performance. Maybe this can be the KC game from a few seasons ago. Maybe next week will be the real 'on to Cincinnati' game. All I know is I'm not optimistic about the defense or the lack of weapons Brady has.

 

[TomPatriot]

Nope. That was all-world bad execution. Allen makes his block and Michel has a lane and a first down.

[Mack Herron]

Silver lining: very lucky to be down 10.

 

[LivinLovin&Breathin_Brady]

Time for McDaniels to waste more downs on the running game. The D to waste more time on the field. I mean what is the time of possession for Detriot right now? 24 minutes?

I hope Brady takes this game over.

 

[mosslost]

Need a three & out start of 3rd.

Come on now..

 

[Bradyking12]

How many of you guys are getting set to jump off the nearest bridge over a 10 point deficit right now? Lol

I get it, they've looked like crap most of the first half - but the last ~5 minutes of in-game time has looked a little better on both sides. Hoping for some adjustments after the half.

It's not that it's that it's against Detroit. If it was against a Super Bowl contender/Playoff team no worries but um this is the Lions here... Ya know

 

[sb1]

That’s about as putrid a half of football as I’ve seen in a decade and that includes the 24-0 halftime deficit to the Broncos a few years ago.

Looking around the league and seeing the offenses out there it feels like expectations need to be tempered a lot...

The bad news for Patriots: One of the worst halves of football they have played in the Bill Belichick era. The good news for Patriots: They only trail 13-3 at halftime and it's still anyone's game.

Dont you know, rodgers is going to throw 600 on this defense and KC is going to kill us. There is no use of playing anymore.

 

[supafly]

Brady should go to Kraft at halftime

Go to him and do/say what, exactly?

Same here. But I’ve got my spot picked out just in case lol
