Love hearing the boos from NE fans after a win. How low that franchise has sunk so fast. Few years ago they were competing for super bowls. Now they are competing for a top pick

Maybe Mike White isn’t better than Mitch

That should seal it. Nice jobs boys.

My guess is they are running a very simple defense with little disguises and obviously with mostly backups.

Milton looks like a gamer. Really good game from him

This game has got to be incredibly frustrating for patriots fans knowing they want to lose

Let’s see Bass’ leg

Patriots run defense looks poor

If I’m not mistaken, I believe he has an incentive for getting one or two more interceptions. It looked like he was hoping Milton would throw it to the short guy and Rapp would pick it. He didn’t think Milton would be looking way down field

Not a great look for Rapp

Cook has passed 1k already right?

Do we have a RG3 Kirk Cousins-like QB controversy in NE?

Classic bills defense giving up 12 yards on 3rd and 13

Are patriots starters in outside of Maye?

Surprised Rasul is playing

Whelp. Mitch ain’t Josh. Looked like he bobbled the snap some though which slowed him down

Thank God they benched Josh. Form on that handoff was horrible. No way we were gonna win with him in

Is that a full sack for Von or did AJ get half a sack on that?

Disagree big time. Last year our offense was basically Allen going out there and making magic happen. There was no rhythm, run game was weak besides Josh’s scrambles, and Josh and his receivers were constantly on different pages. his scheme did not work well with our personnel.

I’m really hoping we do minimal game-planning. Just run our standard sets on offense and defense and see how our players match up

Is this a practice injury? We can’t stay healthy on the back 7 ever

First off, calm down on the rhetoric. I’m not getting into an argument with you. I’m simply stating what I believe to be objective points. That’s a fair point on Tre, but know one thought his injury would make him pretty useless at this point. Or maybe it’s both the injury and changing systems. Also, Poyer was slowing down, but the drop off in changing systems with getting older only exacerbated his ineffectiveness. Keep in mind, he was still a solid player for us last year. And I’m not saying McD is our only option. I’m saying what I think Terry is probably thinking. And your opinion doesn’t matter and neither does mine. Only Terry’s. one last thing to consider, how many times has a new coach taken their team to the Super Bowl within their first two years on the job. I can only find 5. Not great odds.

Sounds like an excuse to bench him so they can throw the game for obvious reasons. Totally understand them doing it. Why risk his health for a meaningless game that would actually hurt the franchise if they win? My only problem is when they portray they are doing everything in their power to win this game.

I mean our defense is built around a pretty unique system and a lot of its players are system players. Have we had any defenders leave our team and go be successful elsewhere under McD? I’d argue no. I can think of Levi Wallace, Tremaine Edmunds, Tre White, Poyer, Jordan Phillips. I’m sure there are more. All those guys were successful with us and regressed after leaving the Bills. Plus you think of players like Hamlin, who are subpar athletes, but are solid players for us right now is because they’ve been developed within our system. They have experience in the defense and how it functions. I can guarantee players like him will struggle in another system. Even Benford would struggle if we went or a largely man defense in my opinion. Or at least he wouldn’t be nearly as good as he is in the current system. Same with Bernard. Keep in mind, the talent level on our defense is not very good. We really don’t have any elite players. Just players that are greater as a whole

It’s not that I don’t want to win a championship It’s just my objective opinion on the matter. if there was a coach that I believe could come in right away and win a championship I’d do it in a heartbeat. If you fire McD you lose all player development, now need to bring in new players to fit the new scheme, and rebuild the culture. That’s a couple year overhaul which takes us past Josh’s prime. So we are basically in no man’s land. Which is why I think we sit pat with the current regime outside some major catastrophe
