Losing their QB for some games didn't likely help either

I don't think they have the depth some other teams so, DT injuries has hurt their run d too

W their rook lt hurt new England really can't protect maye

The next best thing works, and that's when we go tempo after the first first down. Something to note: we still score on our first drive at an insane clip, and our d has been much better in second halves than first halves. There is a recipe in there that our coaches have touched on leading us to potential glory, frankly it's on MCD to solve the d early and pressure Brady to stick to the effective game script

So unbelievable play calling by the bungles in this second half. Just awful. Good thing their punter got high before the kick, shanked it like early film happy Gilmore

Also, with those two monster dts hurt the faketriots can't stop a gut run well

Holy cow that was an inspired goal line stand by the kittens

Every time a flag is called in favor of ne, they rush to call it. When it is against them, they convene and feel bad about calling it

That's been the story on the road all year. We won after the bye vs worthless Carolina, and over the useless jets week 2, but we have faced 5 bad road teams and lost lame uninspired games to 3 of them on the back of turnovers and bad offense. And I think you are 💯, it's because of focus and energy

W the kicking talent and the ball they use now, we are going to see teams to for 60+ regularly, which means a good first down or two little ones off of a near average kick off start of your own 35 is a 3 point drive. Kinda tiring the game into basketball

You might be right, but given how great he was last season, and how he played week 1 this season, I feel like it's a mental thing. Just like Lamar and the rest of that team, they have adopted the attitude of their head coach, which is being a scummy front runner

That flag came out so late on the return, but my gosh what a kick for the fg!

How are the jets icing Baltimore's run game so bad?

If Indy loses today, they could totally drop 2 more

Seeing them out the and job on easy mode with the jumbo sets and double the who can catch is going to give me an annurysm.

Ne bothers me so much. They simply added a bunch of big people on o and d, they just out physical everyone upfront without breaking the bank on do it all linemen. Number one run d in the NFL, and most of their wins are in one score games where it kinda came down to the wire, which means no one had to stop running.

How the hell are these idiots from Ohio going to get me a win here without a top 5 wr and top 5 QB playing? Why do I hope? Also, aren't we rooting for KC to win today?

At no point during his prior pump fake or throw was the DB not in a better position to catch the pass than the wr. I need these losers to steal one so if course they revert to type

How flaco didn't identify that DB breaking on that route is a mystery to me. I honestly wonder if he has an eye sight problem

And no designed an runs. When a front runs up the field and the DBS are in man, Allen can go for a quick hitter run and do damage. The fundamental strategy was poor all night, mainly because Houston very often knew what we were running because we refuse to disguise and break tendencies

I really hope you are right!! To the oppie: I did a lil effort post. Our team by the deep numbers is basically in line with what we have been since 2023, with the exception that we play down to bad opponents on the road, turning the ball over multiple times and losing games we were heavy favorites in. If they actually eliminate that (I think Brady pulling his head out and not being so predictable gets us 75% of the way there) we can beat anyone

I dunno if it palmer or Allen's error there, it wouldn't have mattered a the gave Davis collision either way (well, we'd get a other shot at least). It felt like we had the game about to won when Gabe cought the dime to the right side, but then he could get his other foot down because he was reaching with his arm to brace his fall, I think that's from being out of football for the better part of a year and being called on to catch a ball in a high leverage situation vs the best d in the NFL. If waddle really was available for a 2026 1st making that trade may well have saved us our last two losses. He hurt us in Miami, and I'm sure he woulda helped us. Also, I think we get another 7 vs Houston if waddle was playing over shavers or Elijah.

These contracts really don't make our front office look competent. The rams and eagles and KC tend to pay a lot for very good or great players, we pay average to good guys. We gotta land one elite and one top tier guy to get us over IMO.

i'm convinced we walk over pittz, and if NE drops the next one to cincy the division is fully in play.

if we are judging with a constant standard, benford was a worse signing than groot. he's hurt more, a rookie (max) and a second year guy (bishop) have had more big plays than he has, and most importantly he's being paid like 65-70% of what a top guy at his position gets, while groot is getting under 50%. now, the reality is benford has not been himself and has been hurt, if benford stays healthy it will be a decent to good signing, same w groot. cook was a slam dunk, shakir is a good bill but i think you can get guys like him so he's not that super important to us imo, but im not the qb or coach so i could be wrong. from a production pov shakir is worth it even w his injuries and mistakes so far. bernard just isn't good enough imo. he had that one year where he filled out the stat sheet after edmunds left, which made me think it was a good non signing of edmunds, but i think we signed the wrong 2 of the 3 lbs we drafted. i love hoyt but his suspension and injuries make him zero, obiewan has been decent but the suspension hurts. bosa has been an outstanding signing for us, even tho he's hurt now. samuel, knox, milano, taron, palmer (i like him, but he's simply not produced), coderington, rapp, possibly ed due to injures, and before that von white, and diggs (and the safties when they got old)are the reason why we have holes in the roster. the value we've gotten from them (in many cases zero as they left the team or were hurt) would easily be replaced with draft picks, allowing us to sign some actual studs.
