PostGame Thread OFFICIAL Week 2 Postgame Thread - Patriots Lose 23-20 in OT to Seahawks

[Ian]

Frustrating loss. Discuss it here.

 

[lancerman]

Reminds me of last year. Team fights then in crunch time makes mistakes which is a gut punch and they lose all momentum

 

[Brick27]

Play the kid

 

[ahmed]

You run the damn ball and make the chip shot FG and force Seahawks to score a TD. So deflating...

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Need a perfect game to win with Brissett at QB. We saw today how limited he is!

Maye playmaking ability can allow you to be able to make some mistakes without having them automatically kill the game.

Play the kid. He is the far better QB.

 

[Patsgofor4]

Giving up that many catches by the opposing wide receivers is a complete joke.

 

[ViperGTS]

Quick turnaround the play the Jetes. Sigh, this one would have been easily won with better QB play. Was this better than Mac? Of course, there weren't mind numbing INTs etc, but not good enough to win in the NFL.

 

[Toofy]

Not sure how you are able to maintain locker room when wide receivers don't even get a chance.

Another 2 games at most is what I see Brissett playing . The calls for maye will start to thunder. The offensive line is not catastrophic.

Coaching lost this game...why would you punt on 4 and 1 in OT?

If you can't trust your offense to get that much, then just kneel and let the other team win.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

we know what time it is...

 

[Grogan14]

Geno Smith has turned out to be a damn good qb

 

[ZotZot]

The more talented/better coached team won today cool, but that PI in OT was horseshiet game altering horseshiet

 

[sb1]

Bit of a reality check here. Not rocket science to see the ceiling of this team with Jacoby starting.

Letdown on defense. 327 yards to Geno Smith isn’t ideal…

 

[Thelonious]

Mediocre QB. Lousy WR performance. O-line porosity. No real surprise. They tried.

 

[condon84]

Geno threw downfield to a bunch of covered WRs but gave them a chance with catchable balls.

Jacoby doesn't even look beyond 10 yards, and seems like he's got tunnel vision (this time to Henry).

This team is competitive enough where if we have even average QB play, seems like it could compete for a playoff spot.

 

[PaulThePat]

No lack of effort but we're just too one dimensional to win anything more than 3-4 games. Frustrating as hell but it is what it is.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Can't believe Bill Belichick did this

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Jacoby Brissett is awful, the whole reason he's starting is not to take that sack when there's a chip shot to make it a 6 point game.

You can't be a game manager who also makes inexcusable rookie mistakes, the guy plays like it's illegal to throw the ball away.

 

[WHPats]

Yeah this was one of those “bad teams find ways to lose” games. Happening all too often the last 3 years. I want to see Maye, it’s hard to watch your below average QB just throw the game away. Defense wasn’t great, ST had a FG blocked, but we all know that sack was absolutely killer. You run the ball there you get a couple yards and kick a 38 yarder to go up 6

 

[Delicate Genius]

You need a good veteran QB like Brissett in there to avoid unnecessary sacks.
