Except they were in the red zone at the end of the game with 17 points so I guess they could of scored 20 if that would of made you feel better.

My statement is still true.

Play calling wasn’t fine. You liked the chicken sh*t play calling when we took the lead after the John Brown TD? That’s coaching scared. They hoped to squat on the lead with Edelman out and it bit them

in the a**. 

I don't think they sqauted on the lead. What exactly did you want? I had few issues with play calling today. That's a great defense.

NE would have taken him away. He missed a 6'4 TE. I understand what people want but it's not about how tall they are.

You weren’t complaining on his throw at the end of the first look dude you just hate the guy I’ve seen your posts

Run d was awful. 1st down play calling was way too conservative. Simple as that. 

 

Yep.  I agree.

 

Steve Smith just kinda called that out.  And added we don't have enough playmakers.  Also true.

Nevertheless, like the Ravens game, it came down to a 4th and goal and we just couldn't punch it in.

 

Considering these are likely the top 2 seeds in the AFC: can't be too down.

What was the point spread? What did they win by? Can't beat Vegas and the Refs.

He creates separation better than any receiver I've ever seen

He runs off the line uncovered

if you watch closely on their last TD, Brady committs false sart twice, he has his hands on the center's butt and he moves both hands,. Philips jumps on the first one.

Because they use pick plays.

Sorry but the biggest takeaway is the run D.  

 

The Steelers and Cowboys bizarrely gave up on it way too soon.

 

The Pats were not going to let that happen.  

 

And our tackling is getting worse.  

 

This is fair, we looked so soft on those 2 long drives that kept the offense on the bench in the first half.

Can’t wait until we get those participation trophies at the NFL honors show.

That was a near impossible pass, almost impossible to complete because of the Angle.

On a second look it was very tough 

[Ray Finkel]

We just can’t score points.

Experts from their homes say otherwise.

The biggest issue I have is with the way they covered Edelman. They let Taron Johnson cover him 1 on 1 in the first half and Edelman torched him. They finally started bracketing him sometimes in the 2nd half but he comes back and they leave him wide open on the first play he returns. The Patriots have 3 players who can hurt you in the pass game. Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead, and James White. We let 2 of those 3 guys hurt us in this game and its just unacceptable. Bracket Edelman all game or stick White on him then have Milano shadowing White/Burkhead out of the Backfield. Its not rocket science, thats what I didn't get.

 

To me we could have won this game. We got extremely conservative when we got up 17-13 which I believe is more of a McDermott call than it is a DaBoll call. We have seen that in the past. The problem is most of the time it works out and we end up holding on to win. We have been bit by that twice now this year and tonight and the Browns were those two examples.

 

Allen is what he is. He is a clutch kid who has some serious accuracy issues. To be fair he laid two absolute dime tonight that were probably 2 of his best throws of his career. He needs to hit Knox in the endzone there at the end. In conclusion, I like that Allen has the clutch 4th quarter gene. It didn't happen tonight but if he just could somehow figure it out in the 1st half of games he wouldn't need all of these heroics at the end. I still think we are a year away. With 9 or 10 draft picks, and a winning team plus 90 million we should be able to attract some top to middle tier guys to come in and help.

Milano was terrible. Edmunds invisible. I counted 20+ missed tackles. Taron Johnson on Edelman? Frazier got dominated by Belichick. Josh missed 2 tds to Knox if he has any TOUCH on the ball. Daboll is the worst part of this team. He's gotta go Immediately. Get playmakers this spring.  We're the only team in the NFL with 2 receivers. Just deactivate everybody else.....Roberts, Williams, McKenzie, Foster......

They manipulate Edmunds, just got outcoached

Ford is a guard, period. That's what he played in high school and in college until injuries made him switch. He is a guard!

He may be able to play tackle in the future but not now. He can't pass block on the edge.

Would have been nice to know that before we traded up for him.  He’s going to get Josh Allen killed.

I can do both. He missed plenty of throws. When he made plays I praised him. Needs more consistency.

Every time.  Meanwhile, NE gained an average of 8 yards on first down.  Absolute killer.

 

Yep. And we were getting no push. So change it up. 

 

Also, those criticizing that pass to Knox, definitely a pass we want back. That being said:

 

- don’t run a qb draw on first down when our lines been getting no run push.

 

- don’t leave your tackle on the edge when he can’t block speed to save his ass.

 

- don’t forget to identify/anticipate the blitz on 4th and long. 

 

The Knox pass could have tied the game and would have been a great play. One Allen wants back. That being said, it ain’t nearly the reason we didn’t score on that drive.

Best scoring defense in the NFL.

How impactful was the Non Facemask call on Allen on the QB sneak? The Bills would have had it 1st and 10 from the 15 with 3:08 left. But NO even though he's the QB and all the officiating eyes are on the sneak, NO CALL! Very curious how that happens!
