Last week the Bills blitzed 10 times and Maye completed 8 on those to the point where they stopped doing it.\u00a0 New Orleans sat back and played zone and the Patriots Offensive line gave Maye time and he completed 18 of 26 for 263 yards and 3 TDs.\u00a0 His Passer Rating was 140.1.\u00a0 I liked Maye\u2019s left-handed pass when rolling left out of the pocket. \u00a0\u00a0He threw the ball beyond the Line of Scrimmage, and since he was out of the pocket it wasn\u2019t intentional grounding.\u00a0 Later in the game he scrambles and takes a sack rather than force the pass and possibly make a turnover.\u00a0 That was the only sack of the game.\u00a0 A couple of incompletions were on Kyle Williams and Pop Douglas who ran the wrong routes in the 4<sup>th<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>Kayshon Boutte had the game of his young career. In my preview of the Saints, I said to look out for Boutte today.\u00a0 My thought was that the Saints were going to double Stephon Diggs, leaving Boutte open.\u00a0 That\u2019s 5 catches for 93 yards and 2 TDs.\u00a0 He averaged 18,6 YPC.\u00a0 He is very good with contested catches.\u00a0 He had two of his receptions in the final drive including the 21-yarder on the sideline where he got his feet in bound and was ruled down in-bounds.\u00a0 Boutte has had 16 of his 18 catches been for 1<sup>st<\/sup> downs.\u00a0 His last 10 in a row are for a 1<sup>st<\/sup> down (or TD).<\/li>\n<li>That was a smart challenge Stretch Streicher and Vrabel. The Patriots challenged the Boutte catch with 2:36 left in the game.\u00a0 The Pats said he was downed in-bounds, which would, keep the clock going.\u00a0 The Saints were out of timeouts, and the Patriots won the challenge and were able to run the remainder of the clock out. \u00a0\u00a0On that play, Rhamondre Stevenson had a big blitz pickup that allowed Maye to complete the long developing play.<\/li>\n<li>They also challenged the fumble of Juwan Johnson with the punch out by Jahlani Tavai and recovery by Craig Woodson. They won that one too!<\/li>\n<li>Drake Maye and Pop Douglas finally got on the same page. He had 3 catches on 4 targets, 71 yards, 23.7 YPC and a TD.\u00a0 He also had another 51-yard TD called back on a bogus penalty.\u00a0 His running and yards after catch were tremendous.\u00a0 You also have to give Douglas credit for his downfield blocking.<\/li>\n<li>The Offensive line was clean on Pass Blocking \u2013 No Sacks. Will Campbell was tremendous and much better in Pass Blocking than I thought he would be after the pre-season and Training Camp.<\/li>\n<li>The Patriots won the turnover battle 1-0. Drake Maye had 2 fumble recoveries (his own and Garrett Bradbury\u2019s).\u00a0 Craig Woodson had the other Fumble Recovery.<\/li>\n<li>The Run defense was outstanding again. None of the Saints runner got 50 yards rushing and kept them to 73 yards total.<\/li>\n<li>Robert Spillane led the Defense with 11 tackles. Christian Ellis chipped in with 7 Tackles and a Peanut Punch Forced Fumble on Juwan Johnson.\u00a0 \u00a0Craig Woodson had 6 tackles.\u00a0 You also didn\u2019t hear his name as getting beat.\u00a0 Charles Woods had a punch out on Olave\u2019s fumble that the officials mistakenly ruled incomplete.<\/li>\n<li>Marcus Jones had a terrific game on Defense. He had 5 tackles, a sack, and 3 Pass Breakups.\u00a0 He also came back from being injured to complete the game. Jones is the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Patriot since 2003 to have 3 PBUs and a Sack in the same game.\u00a0 Th last was Richard Seymour with 4 PBU and a Sack on Nov 23, 2003.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf_reveal lazy size-full wp-image-63036\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27308531_168390408_lowres-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rhamondre Stevenson\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Stephen Lew-Imagn Images)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Bad<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rhamondre Stevenson has to go. He made only one carry for more than 4 yards and that was 7 yards.\u00a0 I noticed on the play that Stevenson insists on carrying the ball with his arm under the ball and not gripping it \u00a0up tight next to his shoulder. \u00a0He is begging for the ball to be knocked out. He had 13 carries for 18 yards, a 1.4 Yards Per Carry (YPC).\u00a0 He has no vision and badly missed on open hole to his right.\u00a0 I was furious that he was in the game with the ball at the two-yard line.\u00a0 I wanted Henderson in the game in the Red Zone.\u00a0 Overall, the run game is awful, and they were 2.4 YPC on 31 carries.<\/li>\n<li>The line isn\u2019t doing the job either in the run game as they only had 73 yards total with Maye accounting for 28 of those yards.<\/li>\n<li>Drake Maye is not a good short yardage runner on QB sneaks. I also didn\u2019t like how he ran out of bounds at the two-yard line after a 20-yard run.\u00a0\u00a0 He didn\u2019t take on the DB and launch himself into the End Zone.\u00a0 I think he is a little soft.<\/li>\n<li>We made Spencer Rattler look like an All-Star. He completed 20 of 26 passes for 223 yards but no TDs.\u00a0 Neither team was good in the Red Zone.<\/li>\n<li>Blake Grupe was 4 for 4 on Field Goals, not what I expected for a Kicker that only made 10\/15 of his kicks coming into the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This Officiating crew was absolutely abysmal. They threw the 4<sup>th<\/sup> most flags coming into the game.\u00a0 They need to be disciplined or fired.\u00a0 Adam Archuleta, the former NFL Safety and color analyst for the game was appalled at the Offensive Pass Interference call against Stephon Diggs that took away Po Douglas\u2019 TD.\u00a0 The initial contact was beyond 5 yards was initiated by the Defensive player.\u00a0 Gene Steratore, the CBS Rules Analyst and former NFL Referee, even agreed with Archuletta.\u00a0 Steratore notoriously sides with the on-field officials.<\/li>\n<li>Archuleta will surely be reprimanded because of his reference to disgraced NBA Referee Tim Donaghy.\u00a0 He compared the refs in this game to Donaghy who bet on games that he officiated. This single call was the worst I have ever seen.\u00a0 The call was made so late that the TV Analysts didn\u2019t even know about it.\u00a0 It gets worse.\u00a0 The Olave catch and punch out fumble was another call that both Archuleta and Steratore both agreed that it was a fumble. The pass was called incomplete.\u00a0 The Official could have called this a fumble and reviewed the call because all turnovers are reviewed automatically by the booth.\u00a0 Instead, they make the wrong call.\u00a0 I would have challenged the call, but Vrabel didn\u2019t since it was 4<sup>th<\/sup> down and they would get the ball back at about the same position on the field after a punt.<\/li>\n<li>Later in the game the ref on the sideline called Stephon Diggs for Offensive Pass Interference.\u00a0 I can\u2019t argue that call because Diggs did push off slightly like most veteran receivers do.\u00a0 However, on the very next play the Official allows Saints defender Quincy Riley to maul Mack Hollins right in front of him.<\/li>\n<li>The Patriots had 11 penalties for 93 yards. The Patriots eventually scored on that drive.<\/li>\n<li>Who thought it was a good idea to run a corner blitz on the 1<sup>st<\/sup> defensive play of the game. The corner, Carlton Davis, showed the blitz before the snap and gave it away.\u00a0 That left Kyle Dugger, (who couldn\u2019t cover my mother \u2013 and she is dead) in one-on-one coverage.\u00a0 If I know that Dugger can\u2019t cover and has no football instincts, why doesn\u2019t the Patriots coaching staff know this.\u00a0 \u00a0To make matters worse, they run this play three more times.\u00a0 Rattler gets the ball out in 2.63 seconds.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing that we got two sacks.<\/li>\n<li>Fourth and 7 at the Saints 39-yard line with 6:29 left in the half, and Garrett Bradbury snaps it wide left, and I mean wide. Maye jumped on the ball for a 14-yard loss which set up a New Orleans\u2019 go ahead \u00a0Field Goal.\u00a0 Maye also fumbled on a QB sneak and recovered his own fumble.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots overcame Saints and the game Officials of Adrian Hills
