Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Packers beat the Pats

[stcjones]

Well, crap. What a letdown after what was a hugely entertaining game. I was begging for a McD gimmick play on that 2nd down (and I'm no McD fan). A Bourne reverse or a naked bootleg would have got the job done.

Yeah Matt Patricia is an absolute epic fail at OC

 

[TomPatriot]

Play action. On first down in ot would have been brilliant

Tell it to the playcaller.

 

[bresna]

The worst thing that can happen, he throws an int and there's the game, he fumbles, there's the game.

Or they punt it away and the Packers kick a field goal. Same result either way.

 

[Foxypats]

If they were going to run it in OT, it should have been Rham on the series, he was picking up larger chunks than Harris

 

[sambam94]

What if Zappe throws an int on that second down play?

That's why you can't make that call with a kid that has never played before.

you call a safe pass play, jet sweep..anything but another run.

The point is, Ashley, that because we were running it down their throats and we had a rookie in a high stakes moment the packers were expecting just those plays. So give them the look they're expecting but run something else off of it.

bingo, just be a bit creative.

They had the ball with 1st down at the 50 needing just a field goal to win. That’s it. That’s all they needed.

MattyP play calls and bad execution. They let us down when the defense gave us the upper hand. Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Always expect the team to be competitive, but wasn’t expecting them to be within reach of winning the game late in the 4th quarter and ot.

A lot of good and some bad to go around, coaches as well.

At least they didn’t blow their draft pick ;p. I kid, this team will never lower themselves to the Colts shady suck for any player.

Game was a fun watch though. Rookies came up big today. Marcus Jones is a legitimate and lethal returner. Jack Jones had a terrific pick 6 mixed in with some up and down moments in between. Overall, despite the loss this game equaled improvement in some areas. Especially with the oline.

I think that tells you how bad your football team is when you can’t move the ball 30 yards or so to set up a field goal… Once again we have a very questionable offense of line that cannot protect the quarterback… Doesn’t set up well for winning close games ….or any game

 

[Jlaff]

Run it four times from the 50 if you're running on second down.

 

[State]

Last place, AFC East.

Turnaround starts next Sunday against the Lions.

Not as easy as it sounds.

 

[Racervx54]

Everyone knew including the packers on what they would run in that final series.

 

[scott99]

I have no complaints. To go to GB, play most of the game with your QB being a 3rd string 4th round rookie, and get to OT ? That’s a phenomenal effort. I can see why the Pats liked Zappe. He looked very calm and cool out there, and made some good throws. Hoping he starts next week. I’m hoping, at worst, career wise, he’s a good backup QB.

The defense just couldn’t stop Rodgers. Would’ve been the story of the NFL weekend if the Pats had pulled it off, it just wasn’t meant to be.

I actually came out of the game feeling good about the team. Also feeling great about the 2022 draft, so many contributions, and so many getting experience on the field. Strange, both Jones’ and Zappe looked good. Not perfect, but they are learning and contributing. One of the few losses where I wasn’t pissed off afterwards.

 

[stcjones]

Every time Bourne's in he does something then he gets relegated to the bench again. I don't get it.

Because Patricia has a hair across his ass against him… And also can’t coach worth crap

 

[VJCPatriot]

Pats lose yet again in Green Bay. Just like the script from 1980 to the present. Pats had chances to win. I did not like the weak ass play calling in OT. Very angry right now. Detroit is no push over like most here think. Give the Zappe kid some more plays to choose from next week please.

It's Matt Patricia a defensive coach for 15 years calling the offensive plays now what did you expect? BB is too arrogant to hire a real OC. He was like, hah lost Josh McDaniel? So what, let me show you I can win without an OC! How's that move working out for you, Bill?

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

When we draft a stud in the top 10 next year maybe I’ll appreciate Myles Bryant for his role in making that happen.

Also Isaiah Wynn

 

[ahmed]

Great from the rookie given everything. Team played mostly well.

That said, 1-3 and I hate moral victories. We are now last in division!

 

[jdlboot14]

First half Defense was great, was the only reason we had a chance. But as I said at halftime, Rogers will start moving the ball and get his points. I'm frustrated at BB too - you know you're super lucky to be tied at the end with a 3rd string QB. That doesn't mean sit on the ball and punt, it means take a shot. You're going to lose 99 times out of 100, so do the unexpected risky thing. That's why young HC's are beating BB lately and winning in the NFL, because they can go against convention.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Come on. They went and had a chance to win in Green Bay with a ****ing rookie playing his first ever snaps

The whining here is u tolerable

We lost. Who gives a **** how pretty we lost

 

[Foxypats]

Bright side was Jones in punt returns and Jack Jones for the most part
Wynn needs to be benched permanently
Zappe did very well in his first start

 

[stcjones]

I think from this point forward Mac better bring his A game every single week or Zappe is nipping at his heels to put him on the bench… This kid showed a lot of composure in a very difficult situation and actually move the ball a lot better than Mac against tougher competition in a tougher environment….. Hope his ankle heals well so he can come back and prove himself
