However, you can feel good about the performance of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\" title=\"New England Patriots at PatsFans.com\"><strong>New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> against Philadelphia yesterday.\u00a0 In typical Belichick style, his defense keeps them in the game until the offense can figure things out.\u00a0 The game is close in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Quarter with a chance to win the game at the end.\u00a0 Yes, there is plenty of room for improvement and they put themselves behind the eight ball with a poor 1<sup>st<\/sup> Quarter (Trailed 16-0), but the offense adjusted, and Mac Jones had his best day as a Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Mac Jones outplayed Jalen Hurts statistically, but not when it counted.\u00a0 He was 35-54 for 316 yards and 3 passing TDs.\u00a0 The one interception, an overthrown ball, ended up being a pick six and the difference in the game.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He missed Kendrick Bourne on another deep throw because he had too much arc on the ball and underthrew him. He was wide open for what should have been a TD.<\/li>\n<li>Do we need to question Jones arm strength or was it just throwing off his back foot?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cI definitely let the team down tonight. \u2026 We couldn\u2019t score because of me.\u201d &#8211; Mac Jones<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They gave me the ball twice to win the game, and I couldn&#8217;t do it.&#8221; \u2013 Mac Jones<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We certainly did enough things to make it competitive. we had our chances&#8230; We just need to make a few more better plays. There were multiple opportunities all the way down the line.&#8221; \u2013 Bill Belichick<\/p>\n<p>You must be encouraged by how both the Offense Defense and Special Teams played in this game.\u00a0 There was no hesitation getting plays into the game.\u00a0 The Offense was playing with pace.\u00a0 With two rookies (Sidy Sow LG and Antonio Malfi RG) on the line and a starting Tackle (Calvin Anderson) who didn\u2019t play a snap in Pre-season the Offensive line played well.\u00a0 They were good against the pass and mediocre against the run. There is obvious room for improvement but there is also hope this group can gel into a cohesive unit capable of dominating the opponent.\u00a0 No team ever won the Super Bowl in week one!<\/p>\n<p>Penalty calls cannot be passed over and I thought the officials were quite inconsistent.\u00a0 Two critical offensive holding calls against the Patriots were very questionable.\u00a0 Bill Belichick was on the sideline berating the official.\u00a0 Additionally, there was an obvious taunting play where Marcus Jones had a return and was tackled out of bounds and the defender got up and flexed while standing over the prone Jones.\u00a0 That is taunting 99 times out of 100 but wasn\u2019t called.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rookies \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, they played great.\u00a0 Keion White is a beast and gave All-Pro Right Tackle Lane Johnson fits.\u00a0 His presence was felt on the field.\u00a0 We already talked about the play of the rookie Offensive Lineman.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Marte Mapu didn\u2019t play much but had 3 tackles.\u00a0 He did play Free Safety some.\u00a0 Christian Gonzalez was picked on as predicted buy he came up huge in the 4th quarter when he broke up a fourth down pass attempt to DeVonta Smith.\u00a0 He ended with 7 tackles of which 5 were solo.\u00a0 Pop Douglas had 4 catches for 40 yards.\u00a0 Kayshon Boutte played a lot more than I thought he would.\u00a0 He had catches ruled incomplete because he made a rookie mistake not keeping both feet inbounds.\u00a0 I bet he will be working on that all season long until he can do it in his sleep.\u00a0 The last one was on 4<sup>th<\/sup> down when he would have made the 1<sup>st<\/sup> and kept the drive alive.\u00a0 Bryce Baringer was great at changing field positions.\u00a0 He averaged 45.2 yards per kick with a long of 65 yards. \u00a0He had 4 of 5 punts inside the 20 and 3 inside the 10.\u00a0 The other kick was a touchback.\u00a0 He is a weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t go without mentioning the Kickoff Returns by Ty Montgomery.\u00a0 He had a 43 yarder in his 2 Kickoff returns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Placekickers \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jake Elliott won the game for the Eagles going 4 for 4 making kicks of 58, 51, 41 and 32 yards.\u00a0 On the other hand, the Patriots and Bill Belichick can be criticized for not kicking and going for it at the 9:32 mark of the 4th Quarter at the Philadelphia 17-yard line. \u00a0He didn\u2019t let Chad Ryland kick.\u00a0 If he taken the Field Goal, the Patriots were playing for field position at the end of the game to kick the game winning Field Goal.\u00a0 Belichick can\u2019t get off easy on this one.<\/p>\n<p>Myles Bryant had the game of his career.\u00a0 His tackling was very noticeable with 6 tackles and 5 solo.<\/p>\n<p>The Defense played well holding the Eagles to just 3 points on their 1<sup>st<\/sup> drive and made them run 14 plays to get there.\u00a0 The 70-yard pick six wasn\u2019t the Defense\u2019s fault, and the turnover at the 26-yard line gave Philadelphia short field.\u00a0 Overall, they held the Eagles to 257 yards of Offense, 97 rushing including holding Hurts to 37 yards.\u00a0 Hurts only had 154 yards passing.<\/p>\n<p>Ja\u2019Whuan Bentley was his steady self, leading the team with 9 tackles.<\/p>\n<p>Where was JuJu Smith Schuster on the final play for the Patriots?\u00a0 He was on the sideline!\u00a0 Kayshon Boutte was in.\u00a0 Was this injury related or was he just ineffective?<\/p>\n<p>The Tight Ends were 8 of 9 when targeted with Hunter Henry getting a TD and making a great grab late.<\/p>\n<p>This game was much closer than I thought it was going to be.\u00a0 The Patriots played well enough to come away with a victory but let it slip through their hands at the end instead of grasping that golden ring.\u00a0 I am encouraged they will be a competitive team this season and they will get better.\u00a0 Lack of playing time together in the Pre-Season showed.\u00a0 Philadelphia can get away with that because they are a veteran team.\u00a0 If Sidy Sow had played Left Guard all Pre-Season we may have had a different outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, things don\u2019t get better right away as they face the Miami Dolphins next Sunday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are no such things as moral victories in the NFL.
