Brilliant call by Belichick. Our young ST coach got outmanuevered there.

The challenges yesterday were dubious at best. He has work to do there, starting with whoever in the booth is advising him to make the challenges in the first place. as for the decision to go for it vs. kick the FG, absolutely the right call. You're playing the best D in the league; you have to take the shot to go ahead right there. No guarantees you're getting back there again and to do what? Kick another FG just to tie?

And they will have tough games as well. Will you be on here saying that when they do? Because all young QBs will have their ups and downs.

Agreed. With the defense at the level they're playing they'll be in every game. We have to hope Josh continues his development, get Singletary back on the filed, and they should be good to go.

Yeah, you have no idea if that's true. We will see how things go.

I have not lost faith in the kid. He got a lesson yesterday from the best HC and best DC that has ever coached in the NFL. That said, while I anticipate young QBs will make mistakes, I think it is a legitimate criticism of Allen that he has to stop making the same mistake over and over. He cannot keep throwing late downfield into coverage, hoping to make a big paly happen. The first pick he has to see the safety, the other two you just cannot make those throws into the into of coverage the Pats had. The first 4 games, you can see how much potential the kid has. You don't lead your team from behind in three games like he did to win (and may have yesterday if he hadn't gotten hurt) and not have what it takes. But he has to play smarter.

The moment was too big for him today. He failed the test today, but there is another test next week. He has time to pull his grade up.

I hate Belichick, can’t stand his crap attitude in interviews, can’t stand how he always bends the rules. But I don’t think there is any denying he is the GOAT. And that as long as he coaches them we are swimming upstream

And you said we’ll that’s just one. Same crap you pulled on the BBMB- make outlandish statements and when proven wrong either change the subject or claim you never said what you said. Sad to have such little integrity.

Hyperbole to prove a point. Everyone knowing anything about football knows this is Winston’s make it or else year because he just hasn’t been very good. Or would you also have traded an entire draft for him?

You said no one in their front 7 would start for us, you now admit that’s wrong. Another example of your opinions having no merit.

Van Noy starts in a heartbeat.

And it’s taken him 5 years to play a good game. Your opinions aren’t worth anything as it comes to evaluating QB play.

I dismiss everything you say about QBs because back in the BBMB days you wanted to trade the entire draft to pick Jamies Winston. Plus you only show up here when they don’t play well. Your opinions in QB play are worthless. Allen got schooled by a master today. He needs to have a Gore or another wise vet sit him down and convince him that the success of the team is not all on him, and he has to stop making that same mistake of throwing late into coverage.

Refs didn’t lose it. We made dumb mistakes.

Your veterans have to be the ones not making mistakes in big games. Smith was a big negative today.

I expected he’d Struggle against a Belichick D. But he HAS to learn to not make those late throws downfield. It does not work in the NFL. And when you have the caliber of defense this team has he has to stop taking those risks.

Normally I say we lose to NE because they’re just better. Not today. Today we lost because of dumb mistakes. We matched their talent and beat ourselves.

Stupid stupid stupid

I would have kicked but understand going for it.

I don’t care if it costs us the game. We need to go destroy the guy who made that hit.

Now THINK!!! Cmon Josh

I don’t know what it will take for the kid to learn. I think he’s going to get there but he has to get it through his head that those throws do not work

Why change calls from the short routes that worked the first drive?

For all criticizing Fouts, he is doing just what he should do as an analyst. We played like dog crap first half, and he said so. We had a really good drive and he said so. And our D is killing it and he says so.
