He was becoming a problem

homer.

We're On To SF.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

So go jump on another team's bandwagon

Dumb post. You guys get so offended when people offer a negative outlook on things. I am a Patriots fan, but not a homer. I've never seen a medium where if we aren't 100% positive, we should junp to a new team or medium.

Being negative is part of being a fan.

Anyways, it's one game. Relax. It's a little weird how legitimately depressed some people get after a loss. It's just a form of entertainment.

"It's one game"
This is reminiscents of last year all over again. Start the 1st half strong, easy HFA, and then 2nd half play like complete **** losing to trash like the Eagles and Dolphins were last year. And in the end lose HFA to Oakland or Denver and it will cost them.

Oh I still think this is a good team, 13-3 probably but the defense has got to get better and play calling needs some work also, I still dont get throwing the ball in the end.

This is fair and level headed, just don't know if the D can get better. We actually applied pressure tonight and our corners and safeties couldn't cover for more than 1 second. Patricia actually called a decent game

 

[Bruins29]

They will get SCORCHED again by Denver

Whos taking the drugs here? A 6 point loss with several of our key players hurting in thier stadium when the game came down to one play is getting scorched

Shut up you ****y

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Garbage. Simply garbage.

Well, that also describes your posts, @TbSB5, so to the Ignore list with thee.

 

[MainePatsFan26]

That is my usual take. And, I worry about games after a bye. But, this D just feels different. The offense was off, but I think the "Bend, don't break" broke tonight

I've been arguing against that approach with this roster. I believe we would be better if we played aggressive get them off the field defense with the guys we've got. Many might disagree, but against solid competition relying on them to choke is flawed. We need an identity on defense - right now it is looking passive and tentative.

We can still get that identity if Hightower steps up as a leader more and the team gets more physical and imposing. In the meantime, though, we've got tough sledding while the defense figures out who they are going to be towards the end of the year.

Three of the four play called were brain dead. But what's new? Our mentally handicapped OC costs us another win. This team will be much better when we finally get rid of Anchor McDaniels.

If you hate McDaniels' play calling, I'm sure you'll just love the other 31 OCs.

You're getting way ahead of yourself there, sport.

He is right. It is one game. Teams lose. Good ones too.

I can't ever remember hating one of my teams, before now, but I cannot stand this collection of morons and ****ies.

Another nominee for the annual "I dont care and cant stand it" award for the most idiot overreaction.

Our 3rd down defense is Saints level.

Seattle offense on 3rd down 6 of 12
NE offense on 3rd down 6 of 10

Going by this logic Seattle's 3rd down defense is ****ing horrendous.

 

[drewskie]

There were a few first downs left on the board where we relied on James White (who has played as well as one could hope for from him) and Blount that probably would've been first downs for Dion Lewis.

The play calling was terrible at the goal line when we had 4 chances to punch it in. Really, a QB sneak and jump ball is all that we could have drawn up? Hopefully this team was "holding back" on the play book for until it really matters (if we don't give up home field first).

Nothing that we can't correct on offense.

Now the defense, its obvious we are mediocre in coverage. Some of the plays that Baldwin was beating our secondary on a regular basis tonight were weak plays by Chung and especially Logan Ryan. You can mitigate that with a good pass rush, which we unfortunately do not have. Flowers looks like our best rusher right now and if that's all we can muster up against a mediocre OL for Seattle, then there's no way we get #5 unless we win in a shootout assuming we even make it to the big game.

The difference between giving up yards on 3rd down is HUGE. Don't even try with your BS to see how PUTRID this defense played today

 

[TB12TheGoat]

**** chancellor for diving at Brady's knee. It's going to happen to him and I'm going to laugh my ass off when it does. He is officially on my list with Ward and Pollard

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Yes he's beatable because of the defense and Josh's running plays on 2nd and long. Well have Dion back and he'll still do that ****

Yup!! That's all they did in the 1st have was run themselves into 3rd and long situations. It was ridiculous. I've never been a Josh McDaniels fan, think he calls a mediocre game more often than not and is slow to make in-game adjustments. Highly overrated coach.

 

[festy1986]

Why do we as fans always have to look for a scapegoat for every single loss?

YOU JUST MADE THE LIST

 

[TbSB5]

**** Seattle in general. Scumbags. They wont beat the Cowboys.

 

[JMC00]

Why would you be okay with this? He initiated contact before the ball was in the air. The defender isn't allowed to respond by holding and especially after the pass is thrown.

The play is designed to use Gronk's size to legally create separation.

Was also called in the 1st quarter. Can't be calling that in the 1st quarter and then decided to keep the flag in the pocket when the game is on the line.
