I am not an offensive coordinator, but I can sit here and tell you what AVP is going to do.\u00a0 On the first five 1<sup>st<\/sup> down plays, all were running plays.\u00a0 All of them got stuffed putting Drake Maye in 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and long.\u00a0 They passed on only one play on first seven 1<sup>st<\/sup> downs and that was a completion. \u00a0In fact, Maye was 6 of 7 on 1<sup>st<\/sup> down passes through 3 Quarters.\u00a0 AVP needs to go.\u00a0 Either elevate TC McCartney or install Ben McAdoo as the Offensive Coordinator.\u00a0 If I had my way Van Pelt wouldn\u2019t be allowed on the plane home.<\/li>\n<li>Maye was the offense today. He had 95 yards rushing, the most yards rushing by a Patriots QB since Steve Grogan in 1977. \u00a0Passing Maye was 29\/41 for 206 yards, a TD and 2 INT.\u00a0 \u00a0He also threw another ball that should have been intercepted.\u00a0 Add in a crucial fumble too.\u00a0 He is making rookie mistakes.\u00a0 He is playing sooner that he should be, and it shows.<\/li>\n<li>Please tell me why Layden Robinson started at Right Guard. That meant we saw the 8<sup>th<\/sup> different Offensive line combination after we had back-to-back starting lineups.\u00a0 Yeah, that was pretty stupid putting a mid-round rookie up against Jeffrey Simmons.\u00a0 Let\u2019s line up the rookie RG next to a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year Center that hadn\u2019t played until he was thrust into the starting lineup in week 6 after just 4 days of practice with the team.\u00a0 He is essentially a rookie too.\u00a0 So AVP switched Michael Onwenu back to RG and puts in Demontrey Jacobs at RT.\u00a0 This was the same lineup the Pats used for the previous two weeks.\u00a0 Now they make another critical mistake.\u00a0 They let C Ben Brown and his 3 games of experience go one-on-one with Simmons. \u00a0The Patriots runningbacks had 15 yards rushing on 12 carries.\u00a0 Do you think the Zone Blocking scheme is working with this personnel group?<\/li>\n<li>Eliot Wolf needs to share some of the blame. His 1<sup>st<\/sup> Draft Class, outside of Maye, has been a complete bust.\u00a0 Caeden Wallace is not a LT and can only play RT.\u00a0 Well, I think he can play RT.\u00a0 He hasn\u2019t been healthy enough to play much at all this season.\u00a0 Layden Robinson was selected in the 4<sup>th <\/sup>\u00a0round.\u00a0 He is not the player I would have taken (see my Draft Analysis).\u00a0 I wanted Mason McCormick because he can play both Guard and Center. \u00a0McCormick\u2019s PFF Blocking grade is 57.4, ranked #74 in the league.\u00a0 Michael Jordan is #87 and Layden Robinson #92.\u00a0 Ja\u2019Lynn Polk and Javon Baker have been busts.\u00a0 Polk was supposed to be a reliable blocker.\u00a0 He had two penalties in limited playing time, one for holding and the other a procedure penalty for not being set. It appeared that he was lined up on the outside of another WR in the slot.\u00a0 They were both on the LOS and Polk moved back but didn\u2019t get set in time.\u00a0 If he had stayed put, he would have covered the slot receiver making him an ineligible receiver, and probable penalty.\u00a0 Polk also didn\u2019t catch his one target.\u00a0 Neither of the receivers are fast enough.\u00a0 Wolf traded the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> round pick to LA Chargers who selected the guy I wanted in Ladd McConkey.\u00a0 He is ranked #26 WR in the league by PFF.<\/li>\n<li>All three Patriots TE\u2019s can\u2019t block. This is another reason why the run game isn\u2019t working.\u00a0 We have three pass-catching TE\u2019s.<\/li>\n<li>Jerod Mayo was asked why he didn\u2019t go for a two-point conversion after Drake Maye\u2019s TD pass as time ran out. Mayo wouldn\u2019t answer the question.\u00a0 A critical decision point that Mayo just took the safe route and kicked an extra point.\u00a0 Tennessee\u2019s defense was gassed.\u00a0 Jeffrey Simmons faked an injury and took a play off because they were so gassed.\u00a0 I would rather lose going for the win than what they did in OT.\u00a0\u00a0 They played not to lose rather than to win.\u00a0 Grow a pair of cajones!<\/li>\n<li>Marte Mapu either can\u2019t tackle or doesn\u2019t want to tackle. He whiffed twice in the game on critical 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Down.<\/li>\n<li>Kyle Dugger rumors of him being on the trading blocked were becoming pretty hot with the unexpected listing of Dugger on the inactive list. Diana Russini of the Athletic posted that Dugger was a player being floated out there by the Patriots along with Godchaux, Thornton and Bourne.\u00a0 After seeing Mapu play, I would rather have Dugger who can tackle but can\u2019t cover.\u00a0 There is no way I would trade Godchaux.\u00a0 He is one of two stout Down Linemen that can stop the run.<\/li>\n<li>Demario Douglas made a spectacular catch one-handed down the sideline. However, he also had a critical drop in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0He finished with 7 catches on 9 targets<\/li>\n<li>Kendrick Bourne had 4 catches for 41 yards. I didn\u2019t like that he cut off his pass route short of the sticks and took the pass out of bounds short of the 1<sup>st.<\/sup>\u00a0Later he had another illegal procedure penalty for jumping the count.\u00a0 Dammit look down the line and don\u2019t go until the ball is hiked.<\/li>\n<li>With all the penalties flags this officiating team threw (8 against the Pats and 10 against the Titans), how can the crew miss the blatant hold of Jahlani Tavai when he blitzed up the middle in OT. \u00a0I was very annoyed at a call made against Ben Brown against Jeffrey Simmons.\u00a0 Brown won that battle on-on-one battle and dropped him to the ground.\u00a0 Again, the star treatment, if that is Simmons then it must a be a hold!<\/li>\n<li>Tavai led the Pats with 11 tackles of which 6 were solo.<\/li>\n<li>Hunter Henry had another good game with 7 catches on 8 targets. His only missed catch was play that should have been called pass interference or holding.\u00a0 Henry did a double move of a quick out and up.\u00a0 The defender was beaten, and stuck his arm out, holding Henry going down the sideline. No call.<\/li>\n<li>Stevenson was credited with 5 catches on 5 targets. However, he and Maye are to blame for a swing pass that was thrown slightly behind Stevenson and bounced off his shoulder pad.\u00a0 It was ruled a fumbled lateral which Stevenson recovered.<\/li>\n<li>What was wrong with Antonio Gibson? He was targeted only once for a 12-yard pass completion and ran the ball just once for -1 yard.<\/li>\n<li>Marcus Jones was terrific again as a Punt Returner. His 1<sup>st<\/sup> Punt Return was 44 yards.\u00a0 Late in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> I couldn\u2019t believe Tennessee was so stupid that they kicked the ball to him.\u00a0 Jones returned it 25 yards to the 50-yard line to put the Patriots in field position for the final drive with under 2:00 on the clock.<\/li>\n<li>Bryce Baringer had a very bad day punting for the Pats. It seems he is having another season when he starts off hot and then tails off.\u00a0 He only averaged 42.3 yards per punt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This team is
