Last game the Pats were awful coming out at the half. Hopefully today their awful half is over !
 
240 yards of offense against our improved defense. i swear, mediocre qb's always look great against us for whatever reason. i saw tannehill against the pathetic jets and he sucked

That tends to happen when your offense can't stay on the field.
 
LOL! Some McDaniels bashers are killing him for not running the ball enough and you are killing him for running the ball.

You're not looking at the context.

He ran it......WITH VEREEN.......3 STRAIGHT TIMES.
 
Put the blame on the offense where the blame belongs - On Brady. Brady has been awful this game and it isn't McDaniels' fault for that. Brady is letting his balls get batted because he is staring down receivers and his passes are off when he does get the ball beyond the line of scrimmage. I blame Brady for the offense today.

Brady isn't calling 1st and 10 draw plays. Brady isn't keeping arguably our best 1st down runner to zero carries. But Brady is playing like azz. Brady isn't deciding to go quick pass heavy against a team that surrendered 661 yards rushing in 3 games.
 
Meh. If you're trying to defend those three straight draws, not sure what to tell you. Might as well have taken 3 knees at that point. Passive and "playing-not-to-lose" strategy to end the half.

No because those draws ate up more clock than taking a knee. It was the right thing to do was to play conservative and make them use their time outs and then try to pin them deep on the punt. It was the punt that screwed up the strategy.
 
The only thing I don't understand with McDaniels is why we run the end around with Blount and between the tackles with Vereen. What the heck is that about?
 
Gray has had like one great game and one good game and people have turned this guy into Walter Payton.

You are 100% correct only because BB/McDaniels won't let him out of their doghouse
 
Hey McDaniels, can we get out best offensive weapon the ball?

Gronk has been invisible so far.
 
last 3 weeks , 2 mins before half have been nightmares.
 
Come out 2nd half with ball with some urgency get a TD.

lol come on you know its gonna be a 3 and out. Defense is gonna have to play like it has these last 6 games in the 2nd half which has been absolutely shutdown.
 
People complaining about the runs on the last drive...

Just think, you'd all be moaning if they passed it 3 straight plays and they were all incompletions. The idea of running to burn Miami TOs was good the execution was awful.
 
You're not looking at the context.

He ran it......WITH VEREEN.......3 STRAIGHT TIMES.

I still don't get what is wrong with that? The Pats were trying to eat up the clock and force them to expend their time outs. If the punt coverage didn't screw up, the Dolphins would have had to had moved about 40 yards in about 20 second to kick a field goal with no time outs. The strategy was right.
 
You are 100% correct only because BB/McDaniels won't let him out of their doghouse

I would love to see why Gray is so "overrated" too.
 
LOL! Some McDaniels bashers are killing him for not running the ball enough and you are killing him for running the ball.

Do you know the difference between Vereen and Gray? Really, Rob has someone hijacked your account today?
 
Offense has struggled for several weeks. No quick fix. But improvement essential
 
Remember a time when the pats were fearless with Brady at the end of the half...I miss those days...
 
A touchdown to open the second half please!
