Embarrassing, Ugly and Putrid, take your pick!<\/p>\n
My mother said that if you don\u2019t have anything good to say about a person, don\u2019t say anything at all.\u00a0 If I do that, this would be a very short article because I didn\u2019t see anything good in that game.<\/p>\n
When Christian Gonzalez went down with a shoulder injury, the wind went out of the Patriots sails.\u00a0 Immediately, the Cowboys went after Myles Bryant (5′ 9″) with CeeDee Lamb (6’2″) for a TD.\u00a0 Game Over!<\/p>\n
This was the worst loss deficit (35 pts,) in Bill Belichick\u2019s coaching career.\u00a0 They are down to Myles Bryant, Jalen Mills (S), and Shawn Wade as their cornerbacks.\u00a0 Kyle Dugger again got burned as the Free Safety.\u00a0 He made a nice hit, but the receiver had already made 15-yard catch.<\/p>\n
The lines on both sides got their heads handed to them.\u00a0 They were non-competitive.<\/p>\n
You have to give the Cowboys Defense credit, they are elite.\u00a0 However, Jones looked like a deer in the headlights.\u00a0 He threw off his back foot too often.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t have the arm strength to throw off his back foot.\u00a0 He made a throw across the field and completed it and I said to my wife that QBs are instructed as youth football players not to throw the ball across the field.\u00a0 Jones does it once and then thinks he can do it again (pick 6).<\/p>\n
Why wasn\u2019t Jones benched for fumbling when a player came from behind and knock the ball out (scoop and score)?<\/p>\n
Jones should have been replaced at halftime.<\/p>\n
Mike Gesicki is a slot receiver and not a TE.\u00a0 He can\u2019t (won\u2019t) block to save his life.\u00a0 Play him as a slot receiver and put Parker and Smith-Schuster on the bench.\u00a0 Maybe they can cut them as far as I am concerned.<\/p>\n
What is up with Michael Owenu?\u00a0 He is coming off an injury and missed the entire off-season and pre-season.\u00a0 Owenu is playing for his next contract, and with three drive killing penalties he will unlikely be re-signed.\u00a0 Here is the sequence at the start of the 2nd<\/sup> quarter.\u00a0 The Patriots drive to the 50 and Owenu gets called for a false start.\u00a0 That call was completely blown by the officials as the player across from Owenu made a move signaling the snap and Owenu reacted to it.\u00a0 That should have been encroachment on Dallas.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s 3rd<\/sup> and 15 and Jones completes a nice pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster for 14.\u00a0 On 4th<\/sup> down at the Dallas 41 Bill O\u2019Brien calls the Tush Push and Jones takes a dive into the ground.\u00a0 Bill O\u2019Brien, stop calling the Tush Push play, Jones is no runner. He is not Tom Brady and won\u2019t get that one yard you need.\u00a0 I thought O\u2019Brien called a very poor game.<\/p>\n Next, the Patriots Defense had their best series of the game with a 3 and out for \u2013 8 yards to force a punt.\u00a0 The Cowboys got off a big punt and Douglas tries to return a kick inside the 12-yard line and losses 2 yards.\u00a0 It\u2019s 1st<\/sup> and 10 at the Patriots 10 and Owenu comes through with another false start.\u00a0 Jones coughs up the ball (knocked out from behind) and a scoop and score.<\/p>\n What the heck?\u00a0 Bailey Zappe is the 1st<\/sup> person out to speak to the media after the game.<\/p>\n The Matthew Judon injury may be season ending.\u00a0 The early report is a bicep tendon injury.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t which is worse, losing Judon and Gonzalez or losing by 35 points?<\/p>\n Greg Bedard says the Patriots just don\u2019t have the talent to play against a top team like Dallas.\u00a0 They have no depth and have been racked by injuries.<\/p>\n There is no margin for error for the Patriots.\u00a0 They have to play perfectly, and they just aren\u2019t good enough to overcome problems.\u00a0 Per Mike Giardi, the Cowboys played a disrespectful defense by playing man, up in their face and dominating the Offensive line against the run and in the pass rush.<\/p>\n The good thing is we are onto New Orleans at home next week.\u00a0 It\u2019s not inconceivable the Pats could be 3-3 after 6 games!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My mother said that if you don\u2019t have anything good to say about a person, don\u2019t say anything at all.\u00a0 If I do that, this would be a very short article because I didn\u2019t see anything good in that game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":48250,"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":[11,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-commentary","category-patriots-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
