The Pats scored more points than us. if this......bs if that......:bs bs, bs, bs. its a team game and there are many reasons that we lost. There is ONE primary reason. We were outscored. The defense gave up too many points The offense didn’t score enough points. the refs screwed us. the defense failed us!!! yeah, but the defense failed us because the offense couldn’t move the ball effectively which led to the defense being on the field for 31+ mins. this is so nauseating All the defense had to do was stop them on the first set of downs each series and our offense could have had more opportunities. 75 yard drive from the one is ridiculous. Make a stop get off the field. I know nauseating.... Edited December 22, 2019 by Meatloaf63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say the same thing about almost every big play in the game. if this.... if that..... it’s a combination of all things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzReaper Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 We lost because our defense forgot how to do the most basic thing in football.... Tackle. They really need to clean that BS up. It's been an issue all year... Idk of it's bc they're small fast guys or whatever but they have a tackling problem and I hope McDermott and Frazier get after them about it this week... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response was to the thought it was the offenses fault the defense was tired and on the field too long, they controlled that by not getting their job done.

DuckyBoys Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 game was lost at the line of scrimmage Pats consistently ran for 4-6 yards a carry setting up manageable downs for Brady Bills could not run the football leaving Allen in third and long way too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 im'a go out on a limb here and say that the primary reason we lost is because they had more points than we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh was off in the first half too. But we needed one of two stops at the end and couldn't get it. The Pats matched up and down the field at will.

DC Tom Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 It came down to what it always comes down to: Patriots don't make mistakes. If you make mistakes against them, you lose. And this year's offense has a sandlot element to it, where they, if not embrace mistakes, at least accept them as opportunities for Josh Allen to improvise big plays. That'll beat a lot of teams, but not the Pats. Plus...it doesn't hurt to pay off the officials. It was pretty funny that the ref had to admonish the timeskeepers that the clock stops on the visiting team's incompletions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many more games does this unit have hand the offense the game? Yes it’s a team game but one unit has been absolutely the best the other is terrible. Let’s not forget what our bread and butter has been and that’s the D! The D is tired. Cry me a river. D doesn’t want to get tired, they should Cowboy up so to speak and get their butts off the field instead of being frog-marched backwards for 2 long drives in the first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to give our rushing game some of those percentage points. Ignoring Allen's rushing yards we racked up less than 50 yards yards for the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perfect at all, but the blame falls on the defense before it falls on Allen. i dont know about this. I think we have become accustomed to our D shutting down opposing teams while we muddle enough O to win. they were out there a huge amount of time.. you 3 n out a ton against the pats..points will be scored. not to mention the D provided a very short field and 3 points for us. at what point can we ask the O to bail out the D. sustain drives to give them a rest. tackling was definitely a issue but there were plenty of opportunities to put this game out of reach that the offense simply didnt execute. hit the recievers that were wide open and we win the game.

Chaos Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Allen did not win the game singled highhandedly. This does not mean he lost the game. The team ran for 49 yards (without Allen) and the defense could not get off the field. Allen had no turnovers, 2 TDS and a 103 QB rating yesterday. He did his part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
