Does he think Mac Jones doesn\u2019t have arm strength?<\/li>\n<li>Belichick responded they made mistakes on all three critical calls. Why didn\u2019t any report ask Belichick if hiring Matt Patricia was a Mistake?<\/li>\n<li>Prevent defense prevents the team from winning the game. How does Keenan Cole get open to complete that pass (Good call or Bad call)?<\/li>\n<li>There were only two video angles of the having the second foot in bounds. Having the game flexed out of Sunday Night, reduced the number of cameras and the High Definition cameras in play at the game.<\/li>\n<li>I thought Cole was out. The officials claimed they couldn\u2019t definitively change the call on the field.\u00a0 Cowardly is what I would call it.\u00a0 If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it&#8217;s probably a duck!<\/li>\n<li>Patricia\u2019s inability to get plays in on time cost the Patriots timeouts and a TD. Not getting the TD inside the 5 and settling for FG eventually cost them the game.<\/li>\n<li>Loved the game from Rhamondre Stevenson. He ran 19 times for 172 yards (9.5 yards a carry).\u00a0 Wish they went to OT and the offense continued to March down the field.<\/li>\n<li>Marcus Jones played great up until that last play against Keenan Cole. He held Davante Adams to 1 catch on 2 targets.\u00a0 The other was a big pass breakup against Adams.<\/li>\n<li>The Patriots&#8217; defense held the Raiders scoreless until the controversial call in the second half.<\/li>\n<li>Jacobs had 93 yards on 22 carries (4 yards a carry) but it felt like they had Jacobs in check during the second half.<\/li>\n<li>Officials were brutal throughout the game. They badly missed an illegal procedure and missed a call on Jermaine Eluemunor.\u00a0 He got a jump of almost a full second into his pass-blocking set.\u00a0 Another missed call was a hitch by the Raiders&#8217; long snapper.\u00a0 He double-clutched.\u00a0 When a long snapper is going to snap they stick their butt out towards the punter.\u00a0 This is what he did but never snapped the ball.\u00a0 That is a deliberate attempt to deceive the punt block team.<\/li>\n<li>Loved Kyle Dugger\u2019s pick-six. He obviously studied the film and picked up a tell (like in poker) from the Raiders.\u00a0 He saw the formation and sprinted to the spot for the INT and a TD.<\/li>\n<li>Too many dropped passes by the Patriots&#8217; receiving corps. Meyers, Henry, Agholor, and Bourne all dropped catchable passes.<\/li>\n<li>This was the worst game I have seen Mac Jones have. He wasn\u2019t sacked once.\u00a0 He had time to throw despite the two edge rushers.\u00a0 He missed some wide-open receivers.\u00a0 He was 13 of 31 for only 112 yards.\u00a0 Take away that big 39-yard reception by Meyers and he would have been under 100 yards.\u00a0 I am beginning to question Mac Jones&#8217;s arm strength and his ability to get the ball downfield.<\/li>\n<li>The much-maligned offensive line had one of their better games. The team ran for 226 yards on 32 carries for 7.06 yards per rush.\u00a0 They did allow a few pressures as both McDermott and Brown were beaten by Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones, but they didn\u2019t give up a sack.<\/li>\n<li>Jakobi Meyers stood tall as a man and accepted responsibility for the last play. He said he tried to be the hero and that he never saw Chandler Jones.\u00a0 The fact is that Jones was knocked flat to the ground on the big Raiders logo in the middle of the field.\u00a0 Black uniform against the black logo.\u00a0 Jones blended right in.\u00a0 He sprang up and was suddenly in a position to intercept the lateral.\u00a0 No excuses, dumb play from an experienced player.\u00a0 Stupid call by Patricia.\u00a0 If you aren\u2019t trying to throw the Hail Mary pass then sit on the ball and go to OT.\u00a0 The way the Patriots were running the ball they would have dominated the OT.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots, uncharacteristically for Bill Belichick-coached teams, played scared and made unforced mistakes in Sunday&#8217;s loss against the Raiders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":44852,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[22815,23201],"class_list":["post-44847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-news","tag-2022-patriots-season","tag-patriots-vs-raiders"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MORSE: 16 Observations from an Embarrassing Week 15 Patriots&#039;
