The strip sack was not his fault, but the interception at the end of the game was. \u00a0He should have led Pop Douglas.\u00a0 Immediate reaction was that Douglas was not looking back for the ball. \u00a0Maye was 30 of 40 for 282 yards 2 TDs, fumble and the INT.\u00a0 He was blitzed on 50% of his throws, sacked 3 times and pressured 25 times.\u00a0 His QB rating was 100.2.\u00a0 Can you imagine if he had the receivers and the time that Stafford had?\u00a0 This was by far the best game of Drake Maye\u2019s brief career.<\/li>\n<li>Kendrick Bourne had a very good game and was 5 catches on 5 targets for 70 yards and a TD. Why wasn\u2019t he targeted more.\u00a0 Nice bounce back game since he was benched lasts week.\u00a0 Mayo wouldn\u2019t admit it, but Bourne was benched because of poor decisions in the Titans game.<\/li>\n<li>Hunter Henry had another nice game with 6 catches on 9 targets for 63 yards. The Rams made a good effort in shutting Henry down with two pass breakups late in game.<\/li>\n<li>The Defense lost this game not Drake Maye and the Offense. Defensive Coordinator DeMarcus Covington never made the adjustments and remained in Zone way too long.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Zero turnovers again this week.\u00a0 They are the worst defense in the league at creating turnovers.\u00a0 \u00a0They are on pace to have the fewest number of turnovers in franchise history.<\/li>\n<li>No pressure against Stafford, and zero sacks. Give a mediocre NFL QB that kind of time against a zone defense and they will shred it apart, just like Stafford did.\u00a0 I;m not saying that Stafford is mediocre.\u00a0 He showed why he is still considered an elite QB.\u00a0 That TD on the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> play of the second half against zero coverage with help over the top was a disaster.\u00a0 That was a game changer.\u00a0 Stafford ran down the field and signaled the zero sign, indicating that he knew they were in zero coverage, and he toasted them.\u00a0 Kyle Dugger is a horrible pass defender and had just 3 tackles in the game.\u00a0 Jon Jones was beaten off the line and dove to try and break it up.\u00a0 \u00a0I actually think the team is better off without Dugger in the lineup and Jon Jones at Free Safety.<\/li>\n<li>Why did the Patriots stay with Christian Gonzalez as a boundary corner rather than man up on the bigger Nacua. They eventually had Gonzo on Kupp, but that left Marcus Jones on the bigger Nacua, who beat M Jones on an easy slant.<\/li>\n<li>Dropped passes by Boutte (2) and Bell were crucial in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> half.\u00a0 Maye was cooking and those plays derailed the Patriots momentum.<\/li>\n<li>Ja\u2019Lynn Polk should never see the field again this year. He should be inactive the rest of the year and learn how to be a professional.\u00a0 He made three crucial mistakes which caused the Patriots to miss out on opportunities.\u00a0 Drake Maye was motioning Polk to move close to the formation to cut off the Safety blitzing.\u00a0 Polk misses his block and the safety tackles Stevenson to stop the play.\u00a0 Then with 4:57 left in the game and 4<sup>th<\/sup> and inches at the 19, he moves forward out of his stance and gets called for a critical procedure penalty.\u00a0 This forced the Patriots to kick a field goal.<\/li>\n<li>Ben Brown is a feel-good story but the fact is that he is the worst Center in the league. There is only one Center with a PFF rating worse than him and that was Nick Leverett. \u00a0\u00a0This team misses David Andrews very badly.\u00a0 Brown missed another twist by the Rams front four that led to the Maye strip sack.<\/li>\n<li>Why has Antonio Gibson played so little? He ran 4 times for 18 yards a 4.5 yards per carry, and he is an excellent receiver.\u00a0 At the end of the game JaMychal Hasty was in the game at a critical time.\u00a0 Was Gibson hurt?<\/li>\n<li>Marcus Jones led the team with 9 tackles and had a carry for 5 yards. I would like to see him on Offense more and utilize his elusiveness in space.<\/li>\n<li>Special Teams had a very up and down game. Javon Baker opened the game with a nice 46-yard kickoff return. \u00a0\u00a0He followed that up with muff on the next Kick Off return and only returned it for 19 yards.\u00a0 He was benched after that.\u00a0 Bryce Baringer had a bad game and only averaged 37 yards on 2 punts. \u00a0One punt was when the Patriots decided not to try a 54-yard Field Goal and then Barringer punted it into the end zone instead of pinning the Rams deep.\u00a0 The other was a 32-yarder at the12.\u00a0 That breaks his streak of consecutive games with a 50-yard punt.\u00a0 Curious call by Mayo to not try the Field Goal, probably because Slye was horrendous at that end of the field in warmups.\u00a0 The worst play was allowing Extra Point to be blocked.\u00a0\u00a0 Demontrey Jacobs whiffed on an interior block.<\/li>\n<li>The Patriots were badly outcoached in this game. They are rookies too and it really hurts the development of the young team.\u00a0 As I mentioned, Covington was awful.\u00a0 Mayo showed his inexperience by not asking for a measurement on a 4<sup>th<\/sup> and inches.\u00a0 Alex Van Pelt makes some curious calls every game, especially running Stevenson when Maye was cooking.\u00a0 On one short yardage goal line play, Maye could have easily rolled out and walked into the end zone if he kept the ball.<\/li>\n<li>The penalties really hurt the Patriots. I was unhappy with the officiating. Calling Vederian Lowe for an Illegal Procedure penalty for not lining up on the Line of Scrimmage was bogus.\u00a0 Lowe was inside of Guard Michael Jordan.\u00a0 Perhaps it should have been Jordan who got called.\u00a0 However, on the same play Jared Verse was offside by jumping the snap.\u00a0 Even Mark Sanchez called it during the broadcast.\u00a0 The Procedure call wiped out a big catch by Hunter Henry of 17 yards to the LA 15.\u00a0 Another time the Rams jumped offsides and the officials blew the play dead.\u00a0 That should have a free play for Maye to chuck it deep.\u00a0 Earlier in the game they called Rhamondre Stevenson for a 15-yard chop block penalty. \u00a0\u00a0Jared Verse had beaten Vederian Lowe cleanly, and Lowe was not engaged in a block when Stevenson went low.\u00a0 I have already mentioned Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk\u2019s repeat offender status.<\/li>\n<li>The Patriots just don&#8217;t have the talent.\u00a0 The release of WR Tyquan Thornton a 2022 2nd round pick, leaves the Patriots with Guard Cole Strange (a 1st Round bust), CB\/PR Marcus Jones and RB Kevin Harris (Practice Squad) left from that draft.\u00a0 \u00a0Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk is looking like a bust.\u00a0 WEe could have taken Ladd McConkey with the pick we traded to the LA Chargers.\u00a0 Add to this the difficulty the Patriots have in attracting good Free Agent talent, and they cannot match up with other teams in the league.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This loss to the Rams was a very frustrating loss since it was a very winnable game. \u00a0I will
