Bentley is playing way too many snaps, he sucks, Judon Hightower Van Noy should lead in LB snaps. Also Mills is not the answer. The whole secondary is much worse with Mills in and Gilmore out. I wonder if it makes sense to swap Dugger and Philips' roles. Godcheaux plays situationally but even then he's not a great run stopper.
Pata offense stymied multiple times in the red zone. A pattern going back to Brady's last season. DCs playing chess while oc playing checkers.
Pats defense gave up 2 TDs on 2 red zone trips. Also failed on 3rd and short which ended the game.
Some good points, I was surprised to see the amount of snaps that Bentley received.
The secondary will be a "hold your breath" until we get Gilmore back. I thought we put good pressure on Tua yesterday when he dropped back, but we just gave up too many slants.
The little things that can make a big difference. This offense has potential if they clean it up. Not like 30 ppg but has the tools to be very efficient
Knew it would be a close game. Both coaches know each other. Teams play 2x per year. I did not expect Mac to play as well as he did. Only a couple bad throws at the most. Unbelievable! He blew away my expectations.
Officiating was terrible. That was not a fumble by Stevenson. He was clearly down by contact and then lost the ball. If they don't call that he stays active in the game plan and Harris doesn't get he head knocked in. Harris was gassed or concussed. Directly leading to that fumble. Awful job by the officials who had to inject themselves into the game at every opportunity.
This team would just look so much better with a Hopkins or Mike Evans. Some kind of true #1 option that forces the D to less aggressive and opens space for other guys. This small ball dink and dunk approach can only take you so far offensively and we saw that today. Having a deeper option like Agholor helps, but it isn't enough. We really need him to ne that #2 outside option. This would free up Meyers more inside and suddenly everything would slot into place nicely.

and if Trent brown hadn't got injured we might have scored 14 more, or if we don't fumble we win the game, or if we don't giveup nearly 100yds in pens.... lots of ifs and probablies that we will never know
I tend to agree with that. Harris got too many touches and also got that headshot after they ripped off his helmet. That said, this could have also been avoided by dressing Taylor over Rham which I hope is the case going forth.
I thought Meyers could have and should have caught that one....that's one he would want back. Could the ball have been a little higher, sure, but if you're an NFL receiver, you have to catch that.
