No. Their passing game just sucked.

Has no one seen Unnecessary Roughness?

Yesterday, I was thinking about finally committing to buying an Allen jersey. The curse of players I own jersey's of (they aren't on the team within 2 years of me buying one) seemed like something of the past as I felt optimistic about today's game. We were improving on offense. Our defense did well last game. Brady seems to be finally facing father time or is playing hurt. Either way, it looked like today would be a good game. Oh BBFS, you clever dog. If you're looking for a positive spin on today's game, please move on to the next thread now. 1 - Linebackers - The biggest fear I had going into today's game was how the loss of Milano would affect the game. Fortunately, the complete crap show all the linebackers put on today offset that quickly. Don't get me wrong, Thompson ***** the bed in spectacular fashion. I can't remember a time where I saw so many players run into blocks. It was almost like they were running scripted plays on how not to attack the hole. We were gashed to both sides of the line where the edge rushers were completely sealed off. And on the plays they got to the ball carrier, they couldn't tackle to save their lives. Yes, it was that bad. 2 - Defensive Line - These guys get the brunt of my anger today. They aren't rookies and they are very well paid. This was the focus of the offseason and they have no excuse for the pathetic performance today. If I told you that Brady was hurt/aging and couldn't pass the ball well, you all would piss yourself with excitement. But what do we do? We let them run all over us. They blew us up down the middle, pushed through holes, and overall embarrassed us. Murphy and Lawson were useless on the outside. When they did blitz, they were able to get pressure sometimes, but that was their only positive contribution. 3 - Wide Receivers - Was anyone else not surprised when Croom fumbled the ball? Between drops, lack of ball awareness, the WR's didn't do Allen any favors today and reminded us why we need a true, big bodied #1 guy. These guys alone probably left at least 10-14 points on the board today in a game where everyone decided to equally lay an egg. 4 - NOT A ***** THING'S been working for us. Like this goddamn suit doesn't work for me... and this stinking tie... and this goddamned shirt. IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY WINNING HARD-NOSED FOOTBALL? YOU PLAY FOOTBALL LIKE ED GENERRO PLAYED FOOTBALL. A guy who gave his life for this football team. He was a 140-pound halfback, and HE PLAYED LIKE A GODDAMN WILDMAN! NO! LIKE A GODDAMN RAMPAGING BEAST! And that's the way you got to do it! YOU GO OUT THERE! YOU TEAR THEIR F***ING HEADS OFF, AND YOU ***** DOWN THEIR NECKS! Let us pray 5 - Allen - Yup, he sucked too today. I was optimistic for him after the first drive, had his WR's not let him down so badly. On the next drive though, he was crap. There was pressure and this time he wasn't as elusive as before, but he was off the mark a lot more than he was on the mark today. The Pats dared him to beat him with his arm by loading the box and pressing his WR's a lot, and Allen could come to task. Some of that was on his WR's not getting separation and some is on Daboll for giving him better quick checks, but today was not great for him. Unlike our defensive however, he's still learning and was hurt by his surrounding cast a bit. Doesn't excuse the accuracy and INT's he threw though. That was on him. 6 - Special Teams - I can't. I just can't. Crossman needs to be left in New England. Today was a joke. I can't even write about why without throwing up. 7 - Frazier - You almost have to applaud the timing of articles this week talking about Frazier getting consideration for Head Coaching opportunities this week. Again, in a week where Brady isn't Brady, you give up how many rushing yards and to who? C'mon man. You got absolutely schooled today and it was a joke. If I told you Brady's stat line today, you'd assume we won or it was close. To squander this opportunity is pathetic. 8 - Daboll - Yup, you're in here too. You actually have some speed in Foster and McKenzie and you can't have then run underneath routes at all? You threw deep to Foster in the sun, but then didn't later as the game went on? The Pats stacked the box and had NO SAFETIES back on quite a few plays and we are tossing slant-out routes? Are you kidding me? I was really hoping to see some adjustments after the Pats did it a few times, but nope. You've done well recently Daboll, but today...not so much. 9 - McDermott - How does it feel to have Belicheat steal your lunch money and put you in a locker. You got outcoached all day today. Your players didn't help out from time to time, but you were still within a score after the first quarter, saw their entire game plan, and still got taken it to you. I'm sorry, but this game is as much on you as anyone. You were straight up out prepared, out executed, and did nothing about it in the game. This was easily your worst coaching job of the season and you had to do it against the Pats?! Thanks buddy. 10 - Pats Fans - Anyone else notice that the Pats fans all looked like Ivy League school fans? I'm talking suits, families that JC Penny would put on a catalog? I don't know why it bothered me so much, but the fans at the game looked like they could have easily been watching a croquet match. I can't wait until the empire falls and the stadium is empty. These are the weakest fans in the NFL and don't deserve their success. By the way, I waited a solid two hours to write this so I could calm down. How'd I do?

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6681/charles-clay Doesn’t say who’s reporting it. Healthy scratch for the Pats game is interesting.

How do I set up an auto-reply for any thread started regarding the Patriots that says: ”Good. ***** them”

Hey now, I can’t be held accountable to what I said over a month ago. This is the Internet.

Love this. Showed enough to back up or start in spots if needed. Cap question. Does it all hit next year?

This was reported in the first few weeks of the season. Surprised to see them bring this up again like it’s new

Good. I hope they get blood all over them

In case you weren’t sure who the true dumpster fire of the NFL was....

The moment you don’t feel quite right and only alcohol is the only thing that makes you feel normal, you’re an alcoholic. If you can make the choice to stop drinking for a week, actually do it from time to time, and don’t feel any adverse affects, you’re not an alcoholic. Saying you could, but don’t actually do it, doesn’t count.

Like Brady, they sit down when they pee in their Uggs

Just rename the thread “who should I add to my ignore list” for anyone who picks the Dolphins. Allen beating Brady in Foxborough is a no-brainer. Especially when it means something to them. This whole season would be a success to me in that moment

In the history of dumb questions and useless threads, this has to be the grand supreme. And I was here for Skooby

I love a good joke and an all about going along with them, but this...... I’d have to buy a new skin suit to even try. So all I can say is; I hope it burns when you pee

Nice write up. I hope the refs mail it in more often. It was a much more watchable game than the past few weeks

It’s both to me. I think the line created better holds at times, but I also think the young guys made plays that Shady hasn’t this season I’m not worried about him at all. If anything, I expect a bounce back game. He got picked on his first few games and then really turned it on as a rookie. I’m just acknowledging how he’s had some bad looks the past few weeks.

Can I just take a second to let you know how much I love your screen name and avatar. You should switch up the pic every once in a while though. The bloody nose while holding flowers, him on his go-kart....

Can’t it be both? I saw more arm tackles broken and guys escape piles today than I have all season. I don’t think it’s just one or the other.

Dear lord baby Jesus, please don’t let this turn into another Allen accuracy fight.

Are you flirting with me? Because if so, it’s totally working

Get....the....*****.....out....of....here.....

It’s the lupus man. It gets ya

Drinking or old man fingers hating these crazy kid's keyboards? ?

Zay is a slot receiver being lined up at #1. He's just not going to be that guy and will be good when they can move him back after acquiring a #1 guy this offseason. I don't call him out because I just don't have those types of expectations of him. That's not a slight, just who I think he is.
