It's a long season. I'm interested to see how they respond but I'm concerned.

 

How is it the defense can go from awesome last year to looking this bad by acquiring the "best defensive mind in the game".

 

I want Schwartz back.

 

They looked this bad on defense for one main reason to me. They played 8-10 yard cushions on all downs regardless of distance. 1st and 10...10 yard cushion on Edelman same as on 3rd and 1. Dion Lewis 10 Yard cushion always. With that big of a cushion closing on quick passes allows the WR to make the catch and get head and hips around to get up the field. Poor game planning especially because I don't believe Edelman can beat them over the top. Bad strategy and no adjustment from coaching staff after the first 15 successful conversions from the Patriots.

Every week is a new game....

 

Sometimes you just get smashed. Look at New England* vs KC last year on MNF. They looked like they didn't belong.

 

Clean it up, make adjustments, learn from this, and just work.

Yeah but we were playing probably the best offense in the league and a good QB. I guess we will see next week tho

This is an amazingly disappointing loss today but this team will be fine. Those throws and plays Taylor made in the 4th quarter will pay dividends later in the season in key moments. This team will be in the hunt all year.

As bad as it seemed it only counts as 1 loss.

 

Taylor can learn from it, improve, and adjust.

 

I want to see this DL be a factor. I'm worried about the lack of plays made by Hughes, Mario, Dareus....

 

This DL should be unblockable

Disagree. I think the three games (Weeks 9, 10 & 11) after the bye-week decide our season as these are all divisional games - two being Prime Time. We should pick up at least 2, maybe 3 wins out of the next five leading up to that point. At worst this leaves our record at 3-4 or 4-3 going into the bye-week.

 

Week 9 - Fish @ home.

Week 10 - @ MetLife Stadium

Week 11 - @ Gillette Stadium

"No adjustment from the coaching staff" is a gross understatement. It was pathetic coaching. And why not another on side kick at the end? Did they expect Brady to turn it over again?

We can easily rattle off a dozen ugly things about this game - and despite that with over a minute left they had the ball down by a score.

 

They are going to win a lot of games this year - maybe even week 10. :flirt:

I don't get how you don't play press coverage.

 

If they get past you a few times it's better than letting them get 10 yds every pass play.

I agree, lack of press and only bringing 4 was a loser over and over. When is someone going to figure out how to beat theses tools. Three guys owned the opposing 11.
