Haven't watched yet tonight but I've been rooting for them all seasonMinnesota looks like trash
Yeah but the Vikes can hang 30 points on them and with that offense the Pats will be lucky to put up 10.I hope the Pats offense is as bad on TG Night! Vikes defense not nearly that good tho
Lucky they missed the blatant penalty.
They can’t stop the run. Will be closer than people thinkYeah but the Vikes can hang 30 points on them and with that offense the Pats will be lucky to put up 10.
They had less than a hundred yards collectively as a team, not sure what game you saw…Defense, special teams, and running ball
The one that makes Bill look like a genius no matter what.They had less than a hundred yards collectively as a team, not sure what game you saw…
We’ll see, sounds like he heard about the Orlovsky breakdown.
A thrilling finish to a win over the Jets obfuscates the real story — the Patriots’ offense is broken - The Boston Globe
It’s hard to pinpoint what’s wrong because the answer is everything.www.bostonglobe.com
FOXBOROUGH — Instant analysis from the Patriots’ 10-3 win over the Jets:
▪ Marcus Jones’s 84-yard, game-winning touchdown handed the Patriots a victory and kept them in decent shape for the playoffs. But Jones’s dynamic play obfuscates the real story of Sunday’s game:
The Patriots’ offense is totally broken.
It’s hard to pinpoint what’s wrong, because the answer is everything.
Mac Jones isn’t seeing the field? Check.
The offensive line can’t block? Check.
The play-calling is disjointed and predictable? Check.
The receivers aren’t getting open? Check.
The Patriots should have won in a blowout. Zach Wilson was totally overmatched as the Jets had more punts (10) than completions (9). The Patriots had opportunity after opportunity to put the game away in the second half, but couldn’t get out of their own way with sacks and negative plays on offense. The Patriots started one drive in the fourth quarter on their 45-yard line, went three and out, and got booed by the fans as they jogged off the field. A few fans even chanted for Bailey Zappe.
The Patriots are going to get blown out if they don’t make major fixes on offense.
It’s great that the Patriots keep winning, but Jones is regressing. Again, it’s hard not to wonder what the offense would look like right now had Bill Belichick stuck with the hot hand in Zappe. But we’ll never know.
The offensive line deserves plenty of blame, as Jones took six sacks and the run game averaged just 3.8 yards per carry. Take out 52 yards from Damien Harris on two runs, both nice individual efforts, and the Patriots ran for just 47 yards on 24 carries (1.96 average).
Well tonight offset/ascued that stat a bit.Vikings are 8-2 with a negative point differential lol
Well tonight offset/ascued that stat a bit.
He live tweeted from a funeral.In unrelated but similarly successful news, I spent the bye week practicing choosing winning lottery numbers.
23/27 for 246. 6 sacks.
That's not exceptional by any means...but also not horrific. I don't know enough to know if those were coverage sacks, but only 4 incompletions tells me he was hitting the open man. 9 different guys with a catch too.
He needs protection for sure... He's not good enough to win you games without it. But there's no reason he can't be decent.
A couple of those sacks he definitely held onto the ball for too long but they were mostly the product of a bad line. He’s all sorts of out-of-sync and his internal clock has been thrown off by the bad offensive line23/27 for 246. 6 sacks.
