A Few Thoughts about the Pats Game - Post yours as well

Chris Simms take on the game and the Bills weaknesses + the way the Patriots match up is pretty brutal and matter of fact:

Have not had a chance to rewatch the game.  See a ton of great stuff being at the game, but miss the LOS stuff. What I want to see is how bad were the penalties. Seemed they were thrown every time we had a positive play..maybe coincidence?

 

Pats defense seemed to force Josh to his favorite right side rollout a few times and shut him down.  That being said, he seems like he is trying harder to not be Josh, than being Josh. What I mean is he’s trying to be a pocket passer and at times this year he looks a little indecisive doing it and misses out on QB runs he could of had, or wide open receivers downfield.  When he does run, again looks indecisive at times and misses on what could be classic Josh runs and gets only a few yards.  If they are asking him to be a pocket passer and let the game open for him, that is not how he is wired. Josh needs o be Josh.  Let him do what he wants in the moment.

 

With our defensive issues, letting Josh play at his best is imperative.

one more observation if someone hasn't said this before.

 

this is the third straight year where the team lost in week 5.

 

all three years, they scored EXACTLY 20 points

 

lost 25-20 in jacksonville week 5 2023

lost 23-20 houston week 5 2024

lost to patriots 23-20 week 5 2025

And of those only Houston was even arguably a team of comparable standard. The way this latest one is different is I was at the London game and Josh sucked, and Houston last year Josh sucked. He threw a bad pick on Monday and didn't play his best game by any stretch but he didn't suck. Previously it has taken Josh playing really poorly to lose those games. The worry is this roster lost with Josh playing okay. Their secondary is a major, major issue right now. I think if you told anyone before the year Benford was gonna play as poorly as he has that would have been entirely predictable.
