Obviously the play called for the other receivers to go deep

The ref in the end zone didn’t think the play was dead as he backed away from the ball when the returner tossed it to him.

I went through the same thing with people about the Zay Jones miss in the Carolina game a couple years ago. It was a very difficult catch but many people were calling it a drop. May not worth the time trying to convince them.

Brees and New Orleans. Second would be Rodgers and Green Bay. AFC I guess KC. Titans will be tough the way Henry is running. I play DFS and thought about picking Henry but I figured Bellycheck always focuses to stop the opponent’s strength. 200+ yards? Man!

I have felt this way many times in the 50 years I’ve been following this team. It’s tough to not go all in on rooting for a team, but it might be healthier.

Yeah, and the Titans going for 2 made no sense. The pick six made it a 7 pt game. Kick the extra point and it’s 8. If New England miraculously returned the kickoff for a score, they would’ve just had to kick the XP to tie. If Tenn kicked their extra pt, the Pats would’ve had to go for 2. Sure, Tennessee making the 2 pts would’ve made it a 9 point lead and game over but there were only 10 secs left. To me, that was a bad decision. The Tenn DB made a bad, selfish decision to score that pick six. If he just fell down, the Titans would’ve just had one kneel down and game was over. Instead they had to kickoff. It was fun to see the Pats screw up the multi-laterals quickly. Since Edelman was a QB, I thought he’d throw it. After he lateraled it to a teammate, that guy threw it 10+ yards back towards the end zone.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

Yeah, he has often mentioned that as a head coach he’s taken some from Reid and some from Rivera. Unfortunately the being conservative comes from Rivera. Rivera’s “Riverboat Ron” nickname is a joke on his reluctance to gamble.

I rarely do. Play a defense poor against the run and they come out throwing. Play a defense poor against the pass and they come out running. Playing against an immobile QB and they only rush 4 and don’t phase him. I do have to give due credit for finally running that screen pass to Singletary late that got 30+ yards. Where’s that been all season? He might’ve scored if Feliciano would’ve blocked someone.

Yeah, how did neither Josh or Morse recognize that nobody was there to block him? Also, empty backfield again.

They gave up too many 3rd and longs all game.

We don’t know what has been going on behind the scenes regarding the deep throws. To my memory, Josh threw a couple up in the 1st New England game with pass rushers in his face that were picked off. After that he’s been throwing them with less air under them and he’s overthrowing. We’ve seen Daboll in the past quite animated on the sidelines with Josh after an INT. Perhaps he lost it and told Josh not to put so much air under those throws and he adjusted and we’ve been seeing the results since. You would think they’d practice the deep throws to perfection but maybe during a game Josh is trying too hard not to throw INTs.

So many to choose from. Some of my favorites: -Fred Jackson’s run with the stiff arm (twice) of the Bears’ Chris Conte, sending him to the turf, that set up the game winning FG - Dawson Knox’s run after catch where he refused to go down - Josh Allen’s hurdle over the Vikings LB Barr - Kyle Williams rushing TD in his last game

CJ Spiller and Stevie Johnson also coming out of retirement?

There are reasons Barkley has bounced around the league and we saw some of them yesterday. The game last season was an outlier.

I’m really surprised that Harbaugh hasn’t been fired by Michigan. He’s 0-5 vs Ohio St.

He flew in there pretty quick to me. My point is it wasn’t a coverage sack as you stated.

That is exactly who I thought of when watching Yeldon today.

Did you watch today’s game? On his second sack, he tossed the tight end aside and blind-sided Darnold.

All guys who either failed in prior head coaching gigs or were first time head coaches.

I guess he can go back to standup as Larry the Cable Guy. ?

Yeah, like MLB expanded rosters in September, although they’re cutting back on the number of players allowed starting with the upcoming season.

I hope you’re right. If the Patriots make the Super Bowl again, I may not watch for the 1st time since SB4

He was Rex’s scapegoat.

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve occasionally watched the show. Usually Tub-of-Lard’s dad is on, who, on top of his struggles with the English language and his thick Cuban accent, rarely knows what he’s talking about.
