Would’ve been good if Allen didn’t take that sack

Absolutely. Taking a sack to take you out of easy field goal range is a big mistake for young QB's. Have to know that they need to throw the ball away (or at the feet of a receiver) in those circumstances.

Well, that does it.   

 

I just know they're going to sign Chase McLoughlin off the Chargers practice squad and he'll become a star in NE...

I believe the Chargers just promoted McLaughlin to the active roster.

Yep, you're right.   I took my post down after I realized he was on the active 53, not the practice squad.

 

Anyway....Chase will probably become a star for the Chargers now!!

I like Chase.  Somehow, though, the Chargers have rarely had good luck with kickers.  (One of the reasons they had to promote Chase.)

I honestly wanted Chase to get a long look over Hauschka this preseason. As the Patriots did this year at the punter position, we should always be looking to get similar performance from cheaper players.

He cost us most likely two field goals Sunday, enough to tie the final score.  And when he loses yards he can really lose yards with those spin out of a tackle and retreat another 7 yards trying to make a hero play.

Obviously its a mistake but Haus needs to drill that 49 yarder.. Allen didn't take it from a 35 yarder to 49, he lost about 4 yards on the sack

 

You need to drill a 45 and a 49 yarder realistically even if Allen made a dumb mistake

Ideally, yes. But my original comment was quoting a poster that said Hauschka was having "easy misses". Anything 40+ is not easy. He missed from 49 and 62 yards. Those aren't easy misses.

Talk about abusing the system...they are trying to get a new kicker for right now so Gostkowski can have time to work out his "yips" and then come back next year.

P*ts have been abusing the system for almost 20 years.  It is old news.  Hip surgery is new, surprised T*m's private therapist did not give him something for it.

Come On Man!  Get the facts before posting nonsense.  He's having hip surgery.  Do you think he's faking surgery?

The surgery doesn't have to be some big scary serious procedure.  A minor clean up procedure technically qualifies as a surgery for the headlines.  I'm not saying this is the case, but I wouldn't put it past Belicheat to say "Let's get you booked in for an endoscopic tune up so we can say you're injured and having season ending surgery".  I mean just look at his injury report shenanigans and the meme of Brady being listed as "questionable" for 15 years straight.
