Refs aside, the special teams gaffes cost us 14 points. Running into the kicker and the return TD. That's what lost us the game. And not being able to get off the field on 3rd down.
We are a dumb team. There is one truly positive thing about our team though. Our run defense which I have bashed for a few years has been rock solid for the past few weeks. Dalvin Cook is elite and he became an afterthought.
Mac Jones doesn’t have an a ounce of clutch in him. I can’t remember one prime time signature comeback win through 2 years. Crumbles under pressure. Part of that is he can’t extend plays like an Allen or Mahomes. He wasn’t the reason we lost but nothing about him strikes me as special. A serviceable starter.
I think you're being a little unfair. He's been in the league less than two years and was just a rookie last year and did about as well as he could have done today. If Agholor doesn't slow up on that route, he put the ball right where he needed to.
I am not saying moral victory here. But even though the Pats lost this game, I feel more confident they can make the playoffs than I did before tonight. The offense showed tonight that they can score points if they need to. It was the defense and special teams that let the team down today.
If the Pats won today on another game where the Pats score only field goals, I would actually feel less confident about their chances of making the playoffs.
They have a tough road either way. But at least the offense showed it can actually score points and be efficient. Still needs work, but worlds better than it was.
this is not a good defense. they are average at best. Mac Jones played a good game. Bill, Patricia, whoever are way to effing conservative. they need to get better on first down. WAY to many sideways passes for no gain, one yard. just a disgusting way to lose a game. what happened to Bill being a special team genius? just a disappointing loss
I am looking forward to this thread being positive because Mac had a career high.
Against the Jets (x2) and the Colts a lot of people were on here saying the story wasn’t the win but Mac playing poorly.
I’m excited to see people be intellectually consistent and focus glowingly on how Mac played rather than the other phases of the games.
Personally I find this loss a lot more frustrating than the wins people were whining about. Refs screwed the Pats, but also the penalties to extend drives hurt (Judon offsides on 3rd and long to get the Vikings in a manageable situation as well as the Strong running into the kicker)
Because I am being objective. He takes some bad sacks and all the smart decision making is negated? And I saw him take or or two bad sacks. Two bad plays isn’t a low football IQ.
The more of these BS penalties called and obvious ones not called, the more I believe the NFL is rigged. Laugh all you want but some of the **** is unreal.
