Are Patriots done without Brady, Sure seems that way


Recommended Posts

The Patriots looked awful against the injured Forty-Niners. Cam Newton was clueless. Garapolo another former Pat QB, played decent with a strong running game.  More importantly the Patriots are without a bonified quarterback and look out they are 2-4.  The Pats couldn't catch a cold in this game.  On the flip side, Brady still looks like Brady granted with a much better team... but he is throwing darts.  I didn't/don't want to gloat too soon and I suppose the Pats could turn it around, but wow how the mighty have fallen.  Any thoughts and observations on how bad they are?  I guess we will see next week.

It is more than Br*dy for large part of their defense took a year off.

It does appear that Bellicheat is in conflict between picking earlier in draft and winning games but I think at this point he has enough excuses that he can tell himself it was not me and next year will be better.

Watching that game all I thought was ....uh oh Belicheat won’t get beat 3 games in a row. We better be prepared for every wacky blitz, trick play , and punt blocking formation in the rule book....

 

Why do you think he will confine himself to rule book?  He has not in past.

 

And Bills need to need to get control of themselves and have better walk throughs on plays.  Less movement and more getting to line of scrimmage early so those in booth can help on things like formations.

A fellow Bills’ fan and friend of mine said the following, a few hours ago...


Bills win next week, we will win division, three games up on Pats.

I was very happy today, we got some players back. We were sloppy but that is our third win on the road, hard to do in the NFL. We never punted once.
 
Both Bills and Pats have brutal schedules.Bills next two games home to NE and Seattle, which makes NE a must win.
 
Think we will be favoured by four or five. 
I am liking NE QB situation.
I have lost to Brady too many times.
I will wait for the Bills to hopefully beat Patriots next Sunday before I get excited If pats win that game, they are one game back. You guys have counted them out before.  Go bills “
 
Exactly. This is a massive, Division winning game, for the first time in a generation!

San Fran ran the ball all over Foxboro, for almost two hundred yards.  They attacked the edges of the pats D, so that NE was breaking out their 6-1 front from the Rams SB to try and hold contain.  Didn't work, but I don't think the Bills can threaten that like SF did.

 

Now if the plan is to go into Foxboro and throw the ball 40 times I'm worried.  Because that's when you'll see every wonky disguised coverage, fake look/trap and blitz BB can think of.

Have you been watching the Bills play.

 

We are in for a very difficult game next week.  We could barely bet the Jets.

 

I never understand why people on this site talk such trash.

No, he'll do what's he's done for 30 years. He'll find a way to stop Josh.

Cam looked like he did last year before he got surgery. I hope he is OK and didn't come back too soon. That said, the Patriots are absolutely the worst they have been in a long, long time, and I don't think it is entirely because of Brady leaving.

I will count the Patriots out when the clock hits 0 after we beat the stuffing out of them for the second time this year

 

Until then there's the fact that Belicheck is still on a "ruthless pursuit of a competitive advantage"

And that in the past, he has repeatedly beaten McDermott and stolen his lunch money

Until then, I'm going to say no and predict that next week we will be complaining about our run defense giving up 260 rushing yards and that little prick Edelman throwing a TD pass on a trick play. And Josh Allen completing only 50% of his passes. 

 

I would never predict that outcome or bet against our Bills, but I'm not counting the Pats out or thinking they're "done", either.

Its a strange thing to think, but the Pats may have been looking past the 49ers and to the Bills game. We are the team to beat in the AFC East, and I hope it may stay that way for the next 10 years, but it starts a week from today.

He has somehow kept that graveyard of a roster competitive this year, the sooner Belichick retires the better.

If the plan is to go into Foxboro, we have some serious issues because the game is in Orchard Park.

I would suggest there is no chance the Patriots "looked past" San Fran.

 

That's not a thing; it's just something sports fans talk about.

I agree 100%

 

Except we definitely looked passed the Jets and that's why we let our kicker score all of the poitnts today.

The Patriots have lost to the Seahawks, Chiefs, Broncos and 49ers.

 

Of those teams, the Bills have lost to the Chiefs and have yet to play the other 3. So the rougher part of the Pats schedule has been earlier than the Bills.

 

Until the Bills start beating teams that the Pats lose to, I'm considering them as neck and neck in the division. (And let's not lose sight of the Phins, either. Tua could just make them significantly better. We'll see.)
