If our hobbled defense is game planning to stop Maye running, we've already lost.

He is averaging 6 runs a game.  You ignore that at your peril.

Josh putting the team on his back AGAIN, because he has to. F# ff Beane

Joe Brady needs to be fired. Win, lose, tie. He has to go. This offense is way too inconsistent and predictable. A decent coordinator can develop some semblance of a passing game with what we currently have. He doesn’t adjust the offense to his player’s strengths. It’s like putting a square peg in a round hole. 

Not just Brady, it’s more than that!

This thread has such a different feel than the ones during the week.  🤣

This is reality

[ShakAttack]

This offense kinda relies on their chunk gains (rushing) on first down.... and there's Cook for 1 yard on first down... uh oh

End of the day,  Mcdermott is going need to explain that no challenge play which gave PATs 7 points

This is easily explained. He was saving it for a random defensive timeout and didn't want to lose the timeout

[ngbills]

Not gonna learn

[The Frankish Reich]

McD overdressed for the occasion. Shed a layer or two, buddy. Sends the wrong signal.

[finn]

They're selling out to stop Cook. It's working.

Texans are rolling in their game btw

They are going to win out…

Cook is having a good season.  But I can't remember a single game where we successfully established him as a good first down runner.

You ever notice how when Maye avoids a rusher there is always someone wide open? 

that's because our WRs give up running the route after 2 seconds because they can't shake anyone.

[HappyDays]

Pats run defense without Milton Williams has been impressive. I didn't expect this. Need to stick with it though and hope they wear down

[Niagara Dude]

Stop running on first down,  Pats are loading up for first down runs

[stosh64]

This is disgusting!

[SC STATE NUPE]

Do we have any plays that really makes blitzing defenses pay? 

[ShakAttack]

lol

[KOKBILLS]

Pats doing the same thing they did in Buffalo and the Bills have zero answers

So So So tired of Seans defense.

I'm on the verge of hating him for it.  You're supposed to specialize in defense how are you not embarrassed???  

[BuffaloBillsMagic1]

This is pitiful.  What offense are we running?
