That took away an Interception at the 18-yard line.\u00a0 Even the CBS Referee Expert, Gene Steratore agreed that it was incidental contact and should not have been called.\u00a0 He never goes against his fellow officials when doing his analysis.\u00a0 The Patriots can\u2019t catch a break.<\/li>\n<li>The Patriots move the ball down the field on the opening drive and are at the 33-yard line when Layden Robinson is called for holding and wipes out a 15-yard run by Antonio Gibson. \u00a0That makes it 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and 15 at the 43 and Maye completes a short pass to Pop Douglas.\u00a0 Slye attempts a 53-yard Field Goal and misses.<\/li>\n<li>I wonder where Joey Slye will be next week? Not on the Patriots I hope.\u00a0 That was the 7<sup>th<\/sup> missed FG by Slye and the team actually brought Practice Squad kicker John Parker-Romo with them on the trip to Arizona. Not only did he miss the Field Goal, but it was against Arizona, the team that turned Chad Ryland into a kicker.\u00a0 Arizona moved within Field Goal range after taking over at the 43, and Ryland proceeded to kick a 49-yard Field Goal to go up and never look back.<\/li>\n<li>Drake Maye was perfect in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> half, going 10-10. It was mostly underneath passes.\u00a0 He completed 19 of 23 passes for 202 yards, an interception and TD.\u00a0 He threw only two passes greater than 20 yards. One was an overthrow of Boutte (who is not fast) and the other was a dime to Kendrick Bourne (who laid out for the pass) for a beautiful 37-yard reception.\u00a0 They finally took the training wheels off Maye and let him roll out in short yardage in the Red Zone and he walked into the End Zone.\u00a0 The other 4<sup>th<\/sup> Quarter TD was a scramble and improvisational shuttle pass to Pop Douglas.<\/li>\n<li>Two short yardage running plays were blown up on consecutive 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and 4<sup>th<\/sup> Show some imagination AVP.\u00a0 Finally in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Quarter you let Maye roll out on a play in the Red Zone.<\/li>\n<li>Offensive line was the 10<sup>th<\/sup> different unit they played this year. Robinson was awful at Left Guard and Ben Brown rolled two snaps back to Maye, which are considered to be fumbles and recoveries by Maye.<\/li>\n<li>Got to give credit to Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. They averaged 5.3 and 4.7 yards a rush.\u00a0 Gibson also had 2 catches for 21 yards.\u00a0 He also had a 15-yard run called back on Robinson\u2019s holding call.\u00a0 I have been saying this for weeks now.\u00a0 Gibson needs to touch the ball more.\u00a0 Good things happen when he gets the ball.\u00a0 He is just 26 years old, and he should be given a multi-year contract now.<\/li>\n<li>Scott Zolak was so frustrated at watching the Patriots stink out the joint, he asked his play-by-play partner Bob Socci if he could swear on-air. He did at one point taking the Lord\u2019s name in vain.<\/li>\n<li>Bourne was 3\/3 and Douglas was 3\/3, Hunter Henry 4 for 4, Austin Hooper 3 for 3, but Kayshon Boutte was just 2 of 5 targets. Boutte also mouthed off after the game about the play calling by Alex Van Pelt.\u00a0 &#8220;We knew they was gonna play man the whole game,&#8221; Boutte told Doug Kyed after the game. &#8220;But I feel like it&#8217;s disrespectful when they go man first quarter, you know? So I feel like we need to be better at attacking that instead of being shy about it.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Boutte was responsible for the interception, having it go off his hands right into the hands of Cardinals defender Sean Murphy-Bunting. He shouldn\u2019t be shooting off his mouth after that kind of performance.<\/li>\n<li>It appears that Ja\u2019Lynn Polk ran the wrong route again. The Pass went to the back corner, and it appeared that he flattened out his route to the side of the End Zone.\u00a0 He looked back to the QB and coaches with palms up after the play making me think he ran the wrong route again.\u00a0 He was on the field for 20 plays and had that lone target in the endzone.<\/li>\n<li>On Defense Christian Gonzalez was outstanding with 3 Pass Breakups in the endzone on Marvin Harrison Jr. Harrison only had 2 catches on 6 targets for 32 yards.\u00a0 The color commentators Jay Feely and Ross Tucker loved Gonzalez play and went so far as to say he should be a Pro Bowler this year.<\/li>\n<li>Dugger may have had 10 tackles, but he had a very poor game. Bad angles missed tackles, and he can\u2019t cover.\u00a0 The team is better without him.\u00a0 Jabrill Peppers played one of his worst games as a Patriot.\u00a0 He also took bad angles and missed tackles.\u00a0 Neither one is a Free Safety.<\/li>\n<li>Kyler Murray completed 75.7% of his passes against the Patriots. No Interceptions ??? of TDs.<\/li>\n<li>After the game, Jerod Mayo was asked about running the ball on two consecutive attempts being too conservative.\u00a0 His response \u201cYou said it I didn\u2019t\u201d.\u00a0 That implies that he was throwing his Offensive Coordinator under the bus.\u00a0 This needs to be watched over the course of the last three games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s hard to watch the Patriots play this poorly.\u00a0 They had a week off to prepare for this game and this is what they put on the field!\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about the players and the coaches, not showing up to play.\u00a0 That\u2019s not all the players, as many played well including Drake Maye.\u00a0 Others like Vederian Lowe should have stayed in bed.\u00a0 I also blame Jerod Mayo for not giving Lowe the hook after he looked like a turnstile in the 1st Quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":56830,"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":[],"class_list":["post-56859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-news"],"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: 15 Observations form the Patriots&#039;
