I am so frustrated by the performance of this team.\u00a0 I don\u2019t take moral victories \u2026 a moral victory is a LOSS!\u00a0 I had hoped going into this game that the Patriots would be close in the 4th<\/sup> quarter, with an opportunity to win.\u00a0 They did that, only to give it away with a porous secondary.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be fooled by the final score, it should have been 53 \u2013 29.\u00a0 Dak Prescott gave away two TDs with an End Zone interception that was his fault, and he fumbled at the goal line.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A loss is a loss. The Patriots are finding new and creative ways to lose games.\u00a0 All they needed was a stop by their defense with 2:11 seconds left.\u00a0 No, the secondary acts like a sieve and lets everything pass through them.\u00a0 This is a recurring theme that the defense can\u2019t get off the field late in the game when they need to make a stop to secure the game.\u00a0 The frustrating thing is they could be 5-1 with a little more discipline and consistency.<\/li>\n
  2. Dallas has more talent than the Patriots do. CeeDee Lamb is un-coverable.\u00a0 He shredded the Patriots secondary for 9 catches on 11 targets for 149 yards, and 2 TDs.\u00a0 \u00a0The Patriots don\u2019t have the team speed to match up with the Cowboys’ receivers.\u00a0 Their top three receivers (Cooper, Lamb, and Wilson) are better than any of the Patriots receivers.\u00a0 Why can\u2019t Bill Belichick draft and develop Wide Receivers?\u00a0 Is the offense so complicated they cannot handle it?\u00a0 Veteran wide receivers that came here (Chad Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Demaryius Thomas, Antonio Brown, and Eric Decker) couldn\u2019t handle the Patriots receiver reads.\u00a0 The only Vet that did was Randy Moss and he is Hall of Famer.<\/li>\n
  3. Some of the Unrestricted Free Agents on Offense have not lived up to the contracts they signed. Specifically, Kendrick Bourne should have had that slant pass from Jones, instead of it bounces off his hands into the hands of Trevon Diggs for a pick-six.\u00a0 Later in overtime, Nelson Agholor drops a very catchable ball and that leads to a stalled drive and punt.\u00a0 Dallas proceeded to score the winning TD on that drive.\u00a0 The Pats’ defense was gassed after being on the field for 89 plays. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jonnu Smith doesn\u2019t get off the hook either.\u00a0 He has lost all his confidence and is a shell of himself.\u00a0 \u00a0I think he is occupying a roster spot that could go to a more productive player.<\/li>\n
  4. On the winning TD, Jalen Mills was 8 yards away from CeeDee Lamb. Lamb lined up in the left slot and Mills was playing outside technique to force Lamb inside.\u00a0 Lamb jogged off the line of scrimmage (no press coverage or jam at LOS) then seeing there was no safety help in the middle of the field, accelerated across the field while waving his arm, leaving Mills in his dust.\u00a0 Too easy!\u00a0 Blown coverage or the wrong technique, it doesn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 Another all too common mental mistake that is causing the Patriots to lose games.<\/li>\n
  5. The secondary was flat-out awful giving up 445 yards in the air. However, that number is very deceiving.\u00a0 Mills was the main culprit having been targeted 7 times and giving up 5 receptions for 75 yards and 2 TDs.\u00a0 I thought JC Jackson had a bad game, but the stats don\u2019t bear that out.\u00a0 Jackson was targeted 8 times and gave up 4 catches for 48 yards.\u00a0 That means the Patriots defensive scheme didn\u2019t have Jackson on Lamb all day.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 So 4 of Lamb’s 9 catches were against Jackson, who also had 2 Pass Breakups.\u00a0 There was also a questionable Defensive Pass Interference in the end zone against Jackson.<\/li>\n
  6. Prescott completed 10 passes to his backs (Elliott had 7 and Pollard 3). The TE\u2019s accounted for 6 more catches.\u00a0 Prescott had all day to pass.\u00a0 Yes, Dallas got called for 5 Offensive Holding penalties and 2 Hands-to-the-Face penalties.\u00a0 The Patriots had little pressure on Prescott all day because Dallas holds on every play.\u00a0 They just had an officiating crew that would call it 5 times.\u00a0 The Patriot had no sacks.<\/li>\n
  7. Please explain to me why the two penalties against the Cowboys OG Connor Williams weren\u2019t marched off against Dallas? There were 37 seconds left on the clock at the end of the game with a 2nd<\/sup> down and 10 yards to go at the NE 40 yard line. \u00a0\u00a0Williams was initially called for holding.\u00a0 Then he was assessed a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct for complaining vehemently.\u00a0 Unsportsmanlike conduct was a dead ball penalty and in my opinion, should have been assessed after the initial penalty was marked off.\u00a0 Instead, the refs only gave the Patriots the choice of the two penalties.\u00a0 If both were enforced the Cowboys would have been pushed back to their own 35-yard line instead of the 45.\u00a0 One pass for 25 yards and they are in FG range for the game-tying FG.\u00a0 Ten more yards would have required running another play and completion at the least.<\/li>\n
  8. Dallas kept the Patriots in the game with 12 penalties for 115 yards. However, the officials blew a call in Overtime by not calling a facemask on Dallas covering Nelson Agholor.\u00a0 On the 3rd<\/sup> and 3 from the NE 46, the pass was a back-shoulder fade that Agholor reach back for but he was raked across the facemask, jerking him back.<\/li>\n
  9. Cowards that is what Bill Belichick and his coaching staff are. In OT It\u2019s 4th<\/sup> down and 3 at the NE 46 with 7:53 left.\u00a0 The Patriots defense is gassed and has nothing left in the tank.\u00a0 Rather than go for it they punt.\u00a0 According to Evan Lazar, the analytics says the play was to go for it.\u00a0 Bill Belichick defended it this morning on the WEEI Greg Hill show by stating they were playing for field position, in which Dallas started at their own 20-yard line.\u00a0 The second instance was at the end of the 1st<\/sup> half with 1:30 left on the clock, the Patriots kneeled down rather than attempt to get into FG position.<\/li>\n
  10. Isn\u2019t it time to take the handcuffs off Mac Jones? The kid has proven he makes sound decisions. The interception was not his fault.\u00a0 Sure he will take the blame because he doesn\u2019t want to throw a teammate under the bus, but clearly Kendrick Bourne should have had that pass.\u00a0 He was 2 for in the red zone with TD passes and should have had a 3rd<\/sup> but for a holding penalty on James Ferentz nullifying a Jakobi Meyers 25 yard TD.<\/li>\n
  11. That Ferentz penalty was a killer. Another case of one person breaking down and the play was nullified.\u00a0 To make matters worse, the very next play blew right by RT Yodny Cajuste and a strip-sack, punishing hit on Mac Jones.\u00a0 Turnover, and instead of being up 21-7, the momentum turns.\u00a0 The fumble resulted in an FG by Dallas.\u00a0 That was 10 points off the two Patriots turnovers.<\/li>\n
  12. It’s been a revolving door at the Offensive Line tackle positions.\u00a0 RT Cajuste was replaced immediately after giving up the strip-sack. \u00a0If I can see it on TV, Patriots OL coach Carmen Bricillo must be able to see it.\u00a0 Cajuste can\u2019t play the right side.\u00a0 Consequently, Michael Owenu can\u2019t play the left side.\u00a0 He replaced Cajuste at RT.\u00a0 Isaiah Wynn fanned against Randy Gregory and he too was replaced, this time by Justin Herron.<\/li>\n
  13. Mac Jones was ranked as the 20th<\/sup> QB out of 32 starters in the NFL. The last 4 (29-32) were all rookies, Trevor Lawrence, Davis Mills, Zach Wilson, and Justin Fields.\u00a0 Trey Lance was not listed because he is not the Denver starter.\u00a0 \u00a0Jones hit the 70% completion mark for the 5th<\/sup> time in 6 games. \u00a0\u00a0Overall for the season, he is at 71% (115 completions on 220 attempts).\u00a0 Mac Jones is not the teams’ problem.\u00a0 It\u2019s the lack of skilled players around him, especially at WR.<\/li>\n
  14. The running backs played well, especially Damien Harris who hit the century mark with some hard running yesterday. He did not get stopped for a loss at all yesterday.\u00a0 He had 8 rushes of 5+ yards, 2 of over 20 yards and a 6.72 average, and a TD.\u00a0 The Pats ran for 120 yards on 27 rushes and a 4.4 average.\u00a0 Dallas was held to 121 yards on 31 rushes and a 3.93 average.\u00a0 Rhamondre Stevenson failed to pick up a blitzing safety off of play-action.\u00a0 It was a difficult player to pick up, but it forced Jones to dump off the pass.\u00a0 The Patriots miss James White in this situation. \u00a0\u00a0JJ Taylor was inactive again.\u00a0 If he was going to be inactive this many times, why did they trade Michel?<\/li>\n
  15. The Patriots are playing un-Patriot like football. They are the ones making the critical mistakes that shoot themselves in the foot.\u00a0 We have had such a great run of 20 years with outstanding fundamentally sound football that seeing the breakdowns by individuals at different times in the games, stalling drives or giving the opponents opportunities or scores has been frustrating.\u00a0 This week, it\u2019s a blocked punt because of a missed assignment, coverage lapse when you think you have inside help from the safety, missed block for a strip-sack, holding call brings back a TD pass, pass interference in the end zone. \u00a0In order to get back on the winning side, the Patriots must eliminate these breakdowns.\u00a0 They could easily be 5-1 at this point of the season rather than 2-4.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
