A 1-15 team from last season put their second string offense in and then proceeded to march down the field on what was the vast majority of our starters on defense. To put it simply, there's a reason why Belichick is pissed.
It's called a lack of effort. Belichick isn't pissed if his team performed to their talent level. What set him off and should is that the entire team didn't come ready to play. The O eventually woke up but even they were sleep walking in the 1st half.
How did the same defensive unit play against vastly superior teams in the Saints and the Falcons??
The effort is what was lacking last night.
Forget "The Jets Suck." We suck. We made a rookie QB look like a Pro Bowler. Why can't we find a pass rusher. GRRRRRR. Okay, I'm done. Luckily it didn't count and we have 2 more weeks to straighten everything out.
The team is tired and worn out and discouraged. They have been thrashed hard in camp and pre-season; the brutal camp backfired.
Belichick didn't look all that happy tonight. I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of gassers run this week as well as some berating in film study.
It's amazing how much people will ***** and moan about a PRESEASON game. The Colts were thrashed for just about 60 points last night making them 0-3. Does anyone honestly think the Saint Louis Rams / Buffalo Bills are better than the Patriots / Colts? The score means absolutely nothing in these games. You have to take both the positives and negatives with a grain of salt.
First, last, and most importantly: I hate myself for not hating Zolak on the sidelines. I thought he did a good job.
Every time the Patriots play poorly, they're accused of having a lack of effort. I'm so sick of hearing that. They looked like they were giving just as much effort as when they won the last two games. It's the standard thing the media and a lot of posters on this forum turn to nowadays and it's annoying.
