Two plays in a row. Mapu blocked another Pick 6.Fuck. He was gone if he holds onto that.
Yeah it was Mac. What has he done this year to make you feel otherwise.I still think something was dysfunctional about the offense those last two years. Even with BOB and Mac in the bench.
Pretty close to the orchids of asia so he is happyHope Kraft is enjoying this
-10 points.It would be nice if dugger would make a goddamn play for once in his life. A pick six easy.
Don't you think the playcalling an the defense and the overall preparation would be worlds better with BB?This roster is not a .500 roster under any coach. Like the data supports that this is one of the worst rosters in the entire NFL. I love BB but he isnt a miracle worker.
Don’t worry, this is all because Bentley is out.Remember when everyone said they’d be better when Barmore was back? lol
Most Pats fans I know hate him.Dugger is so fucking overrated by Pats fans
He's inactive today.Is there a scenario where Milton can play 2nd half? None of this is Mayes fault but it feels like the only entertainment I could possibly have
the missing piece!!Don’t worry, this is all because Bentley is out.
Mayo has cost this team at least 3 wins with his in game coaching and it's impossible to understand what he's costing them with his off the field coaching.Don't you think the playcalling an the defense and the overall preparation would be worlds better with BB?
This is fucking amateur hour.
The defense managed to be pretty good/decent the past 4 years with mediocre talent and lots of injuries. Similar spot this year and it fell off a cliff. GM had issues last 5 years, but I miss BB the coach.Him watching his 3rd round pick,, 25 year-old 6th year Div II, Mapu getting torched?
Bad teams don't get calls. I have said that jokingly but it's 100% true.The Mapu play - Miami’s RT false started, no call. Miami’s LG held. No call. Dugger had a clear path for an INT (and maybe pick six) but the ball clangs off Mapu’s back, because he isn’t looking back for the ball.
Just unbelievable stuff.
I don't think they'd be .500.... I do think the defense would be much better. Bill has shown many times he can get a decent defense out of dogshit.... also I think Steve was a very good playcaller, and I think Covington is not.This roster is not a .500 roster under any coach. Like the data supports that this is one of the worst rosters in the entire NFL. I love BB but he isnt a miracle worker.
if only I could put my finger on one clear thing that changed? hmmmThis was a top 10 defense last year.
I guess I’m just saying, it was dysfunctional with or without Mac. Something was off.Yeah it was Mac. What has he done this year to make you feel otherwise.
If Kraft let's BB trade Mac and sign Baker, we're a playoff team right now
Also bad teams get the shittier crews. Good crews go to games people are gonna watchBad teams don't get calls. I have said that jokingly but it's 100% true.
That's a great point, I hadn't thought of that.Also bad teams get the shittier crews. Good crews go to games people are gonna watch
Kraft was not giving Baker Mayfield $100 million dollars. No fucking way.I guess I’m just saying, it was dysfunctional with or without Mac. Something was off.
If that Baker scenario was really on the table, it had have been fun to see.
I am not a Mayo fan and I suspect he isn't the one who will restore this team to competitiveness. But what I am seeing is a team that cannot execute basic stuff because the individuals are getting beaten routinely. I am not ruling out coaching delta but my lifetime of sportwatching leads me to believe that talent overcomes all coaching deficits. Coaching can overcome talent deficits but only briefly. This team has a huge deficit of talent, especially at most skill positions.Don't you think the playcalling an the defense and the overall preparation would be worlds better with BB?
This is fucking amateur hour.
It was, Kraft shot the idea down because he wanted another son like Brady.I guess I’m just saying, it was dysfunctional with or without Mac. Something was off.

They have 4 false start penalties in one half. That is 100% on coaching. I don't care if it's fucking high schoolers out there, you cannot accept dead ball penalties from your team like that and yet Mayo does nothing to fix it.I am not a Mayo fan and I suspect he isn't the one who will restore this team to competitiveness.

Lazar has said all year all Covington has cared about is stopping the run with base defense. The Shanahan offenses just carve up this defense with the passing game.I don't think they'd be .500.... I do think the defense would be much better. Bill has shown many times he can get a decent defense out of dogshit.... also I think Steve was a very good playcaller, and I think Covington is not.
Trust me, I've amateur performances at Crazy Girls. They aren't all this horrifying.This is fucking amateur hour.
But there are clear things that are coaching, like penalties and tackling, that are absolutely killing this team. The coaching is a bigger problem than the talent.I am not a Mayo fan and I suspect he isn't the one who will restore this team to competitiveness.

I enjoy your posting, but some of your takes are insane. Like you were completely a Mac sympathizer, yet think Tua sucks? I don't get it.Zooming out, this feels like one of those “two steps back” games you get when you are rebuilding. Kind of like that awful first game against the Jets where you play so badly on so many levels it just feels like the sky is falling.
I still maintain Tua sucks. McDaniel’s game plan and the talent are carrying him.
It wouldn’t change the outcome but it’s so frustrating to watch Miami commit the same penalties as NE but get zero flags.Bad teams don't get calls. I have said that jokingly but it's 100% true.
Tua has incredible touch. But he’s definitely the kind of guy that needs a deep, strong supporting staff.Zooming out, this feels like one of those “two steps back” games you get when you are rebuilding.

Everyone knows the Pats stink and everyone knows the OL is awful. They are going to call holds on the NE OL because they are anticipating them.It wouldn’t change the outcome but it’s so frustrating to watch Miami commit the same penalties as NE but get zero flags.
I'm sure they miss him. Our current linebackers blow.Don’t worry, this is all because Bentley is out.

The only way to break that pattern is to get better.
