Drake, and I’m not being biased.

Oh I agree and I watched Calebs first game. The fact Maye did more with less is very telling imo and why I thought Maye was the best QB in the draft. There is just something with him.

Texans redesigned uniforms look way cleaner than their original Pats rip off uniforms they've worn since 2002. They actually did a great job.

I hope the Pats are ready to unveil a new cleaner look in the off-season.

Thats the 2nd time Maye has driven to the redzone this season and then AVP just not bothered to score a TD....

Maybe use it as red zone practise for the rookie? Just idiotic coaching.

Absolutely infuriating.

Boutte beats Stingley clean for the TD. Can't believe we thought about releasing him when, outside of Pop, we have a truly woeful receiving crew. Maye-Pop-Boutte + a top end WR and a decent offensive line and the Dynasty is back.

EDIT: + an OC who isn't A-VEE-PEA

Mayo's press conference is not impressive. Guy seems in over his head.

When u loose 5 straight games.. kinda hard to muster up excuses..

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Wait what more was Gonzalez suppose to do? He almost made a play from where he was coming from.

Gonzo was on the complete opposite side of the field, not even sure what people are looking at. Look at the assclown Roy, what the **** was THAT? Fire that fat slob right now, don't even let him take a shower, throw his **** in a shopping bag and throw it outside.

 

[Real fan 02]

I've been as critical as anyone of Mayo, but I thought his press conference was encouraging.
I think we win next week.

We can't win in the states so hopefully we get one over seas

 

[JMC00]

Caleb Williams and Drake Maye went against the same exact defense in the first games.

Who did better?

QBs vs Texans this season



Richardson 9/19 212 2TD 1 INT

Williams 23/37 174 2 INT

Darnold 17/28 181 4 TD

Lawrence 18/33 169 2 TD

Allen 9/30 131 1 TD

Maye 20/33 243 3 TD 2 INT

 

[Real fan 02]

Maye can play. Please don't ruin him before next year. Also, I'm excited for Douglas to breakout with actual QB play.

As long as AVP isn't coaching defense and covington isn't coaching offense next season well be much better.

Shows the team wasn't serious about releasing him. That was only chatter from some media and posters.

Ok, got it.

Who is #22 with the whiff of a tackle? Marco Wilson?

And Christian Gonzalez looked to be dogging it a bit in pursuit.

Defense is regressing. We need another tall, athletic boundary corner.

Thant was phucking Duggar with the abysmal whiff of a tackle.

Maye had more TDs today then Brissett had all season.

 

[reflexblue]

As great as that throw was, I thought the 4th qtr throw to Bouttee said it all. It was an even better throw.

Id have to see it again. The thing that impressed me about the 40 yarder was how far he threw it with soo little effort.

 

[PatriotSpy]

Bring in a coach with an offensive background and saleh as dc and we’re a better team.

Reid
Koc
Shanahan
Jim harbaugh
Lafleur

All offensive coaches in a passing league. Pats have had a long line of head coaches with defensive backgrounds but I think considering the current passing era it’s time to change that.

KB still working his way back so I expect him to be slow coming around. But yes I agree Boutte has talent.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

Our backs ran with hesitation and tbh looked like they were running scared. Huge difference in running style from 38. A run game would have helped a bit today.

 

[jdlboot14]

Seems Mayo has gotten a lot of heat from his post-presser which I didn't see yet.
But, he seems checked sorta out. It's all corporate cliches and trying to appear old & wise.
Not sure who is to blame for the D - Covington or Mayo - but it's gotten so much worse since last year.

 

[Real fan 02]

Thant was phucking Duggar with the abysmal whiff of a tackle.

Meh.. we are depleted and devoid of talent on defense I'm not really as bothered becuase I expect them to struggle without Barmore, peppers or Bentley.. those are huge losses. Gonzo looked tired to me..

 

[KCSVEN]

Clear nerves with Maye, good to have game 1 out of the way, he’ll get much better. Has great deep ball and that showed, went thru reads, some accuracy issues on a couple passes, bad INT and bad tipped ball. Rookie mistakes with top 5 NFL skills shown. Loved the scramble, head up to make a big play.
