PostGame Thread Official Post-Game Thread: Patriots Lose to Commanders 20-17

[RobertWeathers]

Do you actually remember that bledsoes best years were 96-97, or did you look it up? I just remember Bledsoe was top flight until he ran into BBs defense, and he was never the same

I did. I'm 52 so...

Tony Easons was 86 but had better stats in 84

The amount of dumbass Mac hate on here is unbelievable

Mac, given his performance, is a problem, but he is not the problem. Bill is, sadly. I feel sorry for him. You can see in his eyes that he knows it's over, and it IS over.

31 teams had a shot to get your boy for free and they all passed.

That’s because he sucks. I want the room wiped clean before the start of the draft.

He sounds like it's over when he does interviews.

This team is worse than what i use to watch in the late eighties

Agree … but the mid 80s was good

Just glad we played Reagor over Boutte

BB plays the best players where have you been??

This generations Hugh.

Closer to Eason …

Closer to Eason …

Eason was better than Mac.

Based on week 1 the Boutte hype is overblown.

Couple of guys asked him about that, we didn't get an answer and he just said the other day he looked great in practice.

Post your thoughts here. Reminder - the Commanders were giving up the most points per game of any team in the NFL, and the Pats still couldn't crack 20.

After the INT, Mac pointed his finger at you:

“Ross, that one was for you. I know how much energy you spend on those playoff scenarios. I just want to make your life a little simpler.”

Fun fact. Was engaged to Lisa Guerrero who was the mgr of the Patrioettes

Umm guys..... we signed the coach. He's extended. Kraft's not going to stand up on this one.

Not true at all. The evidence seems to be that he is signed through 2024, not for five or ten years. Perhaps in a trade, some financial redress could be gotten. They may have to eat the loss. It won't cost them nearlty as much as paying forall the lousy trades/free agents Bill has burdened the team with over several years, at great cost.The point is that the Pats certainly could move on Bill. More importantly, they must. He's done for.

Most of the games seems to be 3-4 plays that loses them the game, need a playmaker and a QB that can get this playmaker the ball when it counts.

Well that's the most frustrating part is that other than the Dallas and NO games, this team is giving themselves a chance to win but just don't know how to get it done. Against the Bills they got it done.

Against the Eagles, both Dolphins game, and the Raiders they could have won. If this team had a more reliable QB then we wouldn't be in a situation where one play is make or break to win the game.

Again, it comes down to lack of talent and frankly bad coaching.

Mac clearly does have “it” and he just isn’t good. Thornton is just awful, Juju is crapcrap. The LB corps stinks, the Redskins were what 10-13 on 3rd down including that depantsing of the Pats defense when he ran for it on 3 and 23 and made it!!
since Judson went down, the Pats don’t have a single playmaker. Their special teams are awful!!

Not sure how you fix something this broken

Defense isn’t broken. It’s just injured at a lot of key positions unfortunately. If anything, everyone coming back healthy to me is music to my ears because I think it is a top 7 unit with everyone healthy. Gives the team more of a chance to focus all it’s assets into the offense where a complete overhaul is necessary. Good thing is they have draft picks and money to do just this.

Eason was better than Mac.

I bet you their ability to throw an interception at the most crucial of times is very much equal.

 

[Zuma]

Eason was better than Mac.

I believe that now

Good teams with talent and discipline win those games.

We have neither

Cause we went to the bowl? I think they pretty much cancel each other out …zero leadership
