Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Jets

[luuked]

Defense was spectacular. Offense was mediocre. Special teams stunk. 3-0 is 3-0. Lots of room for improvement.

Exactly where did special teams stink ?

They were great all game with Gunner ****ing up a punt.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Here is my nitpick - Stidham looked way too relaxed and about 4 inches shorter than Brady

Gunner miscue. Missed XP.

I think we can hold off on the Stidham is the heir apparent talk, for now...

Offense is so frustrating. I feel like Brady is capable of having a legendary season, but the rest of the offense just isn’t there.

I’m hopeful Michel will start justifying his roster spot at some point. The offense, right now is not better with him on the field

They're down some key players... But they're a good complementary football team, so the defense can pick up the offense and when healthy, the offense should be able to do the same if the D has a bad game.

Gunner didn’t run off a punt he lost in the sun. Stidham threw off his back foot when he didn’t have to, causing the pass to float high. Rookie mistakes.

OL needs the same five guys at the same spots for awhile, so they can work on the run game. In NE that’s harder than pass protection.

Gunner miscue. Missed XP.

So again.. where did they stink ? They played great. The punts were on point, kickoff and punt coverage was great, all except one kick were a success.

I don't see where they "stunk" at all.

One bad play. Let’s not overreact too much.

Bills are 3-0 and we have to go to their house banged up next week. I don’t like it

 

[PatriotReign]

They had to release Brown for being a knobhead, Edelman got hurt, Gordon was in and out of the lineup, the O-line is down two starters, Develin was out, and Michel has been ineffective so far.

Three games in and it already feels just like 2015. The only hope is Brown's caphit comes off the books and we can make a move or 2.

Easy dub.

That's why I said let's hold off on it for now...

Missed XP. Almost missed another XP. Punt return fumble. That qualifies as stunk in my book. Now you may not agree with me. So be it. But it's a message board.

 

[RobertWeathers]

sucks that we always have to worry about injuries after a win

Yep. Traditionally it's the only thing which has stopped this team

Are we even sure that Hightower got hurt? I know everyone’s referring to it, but no one seems to have seen anything or really know anything about it. Did someone just make it up?

I love it. The Billdos.

He is a rookie. He is not supposed to be ready yet. If he were he would have been an early first round pick.

He will look a lot better towards the end of the year and then next offseason. The learning curve as a QB is absurd - especially in NE.

Lets hope we don't have to see him again any time soon.
