  1. Mr Inconsistent

    Even Belicheck can't fix that. Maybe just maybe this McDermott guy knows what he's doing?

    And that Pat run D without Nickovich,Sheard and Long,all vets, looked horrendous. Maybe the time has come sooner than we think. No injuries and we're competing

    Run D was BAD. Pass rush even worse. I mean the interior of the Pats D did well mostly against those crazy option shovel passes KC was running, but Hunt carved them up. It was nice to see 😀

  2. LOL ok I actually just watched it a third time and I changed my mind a bit. Gilmore took a REALLY bad first step off the snap, threw his balance off to the point where even if he's playing the flat he's too upright if Hill makes a great cut which he's well capable of. So even if it technically is McCourty's responsibility over the top, Gilmore's positioning and leverage has him in no man's land WRT being able to adjust to an out or stay connected on a go...I'm going to say he wasn't necessarily responsible for the TD, but that wasn't good cornerback play at all.

    It's probable that Gilmore wasn't in position for the out route either if that's what they would've thrown, I see it like you. But after Hill carved up downfield I still don't think that's his play.

  3. I'd have to watch it again to be sure, but it looked like they were showing blitz with a deep safety but dropped the LBs and McCourty back into a cover 2...I think McCourty was late and missed his read which was Gilmore playing the flat and outside leverage on the WR in anticipation of safety help. In that situation I thought Gilmore did his job fine.

     

    *K just watched it: they actually did blitz but from the R side...it's funny but you watch 12 from KC, I think he's supposed to break his route off once he sees his man rushing QB. Smith checks briefly him going over the middle and then sees the blown coverage on the other side of the field and hits Hill, but it was basically a combination of luck on the miscommunication between Gilmore/McCourty and a great job of the KC left tackle to diagnose the blitz and stunt inside. If not for the blown coverage I think they've got the right defense called, not really Gilmore's fault IMO.

    What I saw as well. And other than that play (arguably) it seemed like Gilmore played really well for them, especially since the Pats got no where near Smith all night.

  4. It was obviously a breakdown in zone coverage. Thought it was on McCourty but it was still a lot of fun to watch.

    McCourty went WAY too far towards the middle of the field. It seemed clear Gilmore was playing the short sideline zone looking for the out, Hill made a double move and it was over.

  5.  

    His durability was a bit of an issue. And we had him when he was young. You usually don't get more durable with age. I don't see Gilmore aging well.

    Also valid. And I didn't expect the Bills to pay him what he received from the Pats, not even close.

     

    But some people here had unrequited hate for the guy, and he shut a lot of receivers down while he was here. These same posters go apopletic about Hogan and Gilislee leaving, both mediocre guys. Gilmore has more talent in his left foot than both of them put together.

     

    Bobo is right about MG too. The goalline TDs were nice and look nice on the scoresheet, but he was mediocre last night.

  6. It may have been McCourty. Nevertheless, it looked good seeing Gilmore run like a clown.

    Cool I guess. I thought he was one of the best corners the Bills had in a while, tackling issues being a big negative of course.

     

    Also, in the 1st half tonight it looked like Gilmore was playing very well when he was in man.

  7. I said he was expecting help...you don't play that route open to outside shoulder five yards off unless the call is help over the top.

    Right I got you I misread. Exactly - everyone saying he got roasted on that particular play is either still salty or don't know what they're looking at.
