Week 13 Vs The Colts
- Thread starter Curt S Loew
- Start date
You’re assuming the game plays out as it did. Nobody knew what would happen. You have to play to maximize the amount of time you have left.
Yup. Play calling going conservative when they should have been looking for the kill shot changed the entire game
We are stuck with Mayo for another year. It would make Kraft look bad if they fired him and that isn't gonna happen.
Yup. And especially when it is clear to see that your best player on offense is Maye. Put the ball in his hands and let him win you the game.
With at least two, probably three phantom holding calls I wish this referee crew was assigned the Scottish game.
I'll go to my grave convinced of two things:
1. There were 3 missed holding calls on the helmet catch by the Giants O line, and
2. Kevin Faulk made that first down

This team lacks balls. They suck, they are horrifically coached, they are undisciplined, but they also play scared. Just a terrible product all around.
Maye and Gonzalez once again the bright spots. I am depressed we are stuck with Mayo/Wolf for the foreseeable future.
Nah, what if he runs, though? Can't break him, can't ruin him! Best to just make him suffer terrible defeats every single week without even trying.
I don't agree, because letting the clock run down minimizes the ability to run... they scored on 3rd down on a pass.. but they couldn't run there, which had been one of the more effective plays because if it was stopped time runs out. Assuming they will score on you is surrender, make a play, and play to win the game.
Colts had time/timeouts for maxing out plays on their end. They scored on 4th and Goal anyway. Mayo should just use the timeouts and control what he can. You gotta use them there.
If we control for the Henry drop/pop on the one TD throw and the pre-snap penalty on that other one… but then throw in 60 yards on the ground!
The Red Zone trips were so bad.

Failed red-zone trips for the Patriots... No. 1: Lack of spacing leads to coverage sack. FG. No. 2: Back-to-back holds turn 1st-and-goal at the 2-yard line into 1st-and-goal at the 22-yard line. FG. No. 4: Missed 25-yard FG. No. 5: Dropped pass at the goal line is picked off.

Idk. Let's see who's available. It's pretty clear Mayo is not up for this job. It's malpractice to throw good money after bad in this league. Maye has a chance to be awesome. You don't squander that on pride. If some shiny object turns up, Kraft may think hard about it. Ultimately he looks good if the team wins and that's not looking likely with Mayo.
No. There was a Patriots game in 1992, or 1993, thereabouts, on Monday night. We never got a Monday night game in those days we were so lousy. Anyway, it was pouring rain all game and for some (lighting?) reason, the field looked red. It sucked, man. We lost but I think I turned it off before the end.
At least, we have a quarterback now.
why do they need to “mentor” Mayo?
The head coach of a football team shouldn’t need a mentor on the sideline (which isn’t to say they should have advisors or people to bounce ideas off of). Maybe if he was some incredible coordinator and wanted a veteran on the other side of the ball (like McVay and Phillips).
but Mayo sucks and is completely unqualified. There’s no reason to waste years having a babysitter looking over his shoulder every week. Just dump him and find someone who doesn’t need hand holding
You're right I was off by a down. Meh, I'm fine with trying to end the game with a stop, I can see the case for extending it, but I think compared to his normal problems it's a defensible strategy, defense just failed to execute as normal.
Three fourth down conversions plus the two point conversion on that last drive. That’s four do-or-die plays by Indy and they got them all.
If they have to keep him (because Kraft won't get rid of him), I'd at least like to see someone come in and help teach him how to become a better HC.
And on the heels of 4-13 no less. NEP starting to look like the other bottom feeder franchises.
Holy shit. Is his headset actually connected to anyone else or is it just a prop?
Drake is so good. Just really happy we (seemingly) won’t be in QB purgatory for the next 10, 20, 30 years. To only have one Mac Jones between your HOF QB and a stud 22-year-old Josh Allen redux is pretty fucking lucky. Especially after 6 championships. We deserved to be in QB hell for much longer than this.
its doesn’t really though once they got inside the red zone. They had all their timeouts. They have every play in their bag at that point. You to maximize your time for the next drive.
I think all is going according to plan. Drake is getting experience and the Pats keep finding a way to come up short. This team needs high draft picks, not meaningless victories against other scrub teams. I say keep up the good work. Keep Maye safe and bring forth the 2025 mock drafts!
Someone should tell him him he's not getting into the Hall even after he's dead if he hangs on to Mayo.
Yes. 1989-1993 were my college years, in Boston, this is absolutely was 1992 looked like.
Exciting game and no hit to draft position. Logically that’s the absolute best outcome. However, I’ll probably need a few hours to let logic kick in.
Not really. Both teams were relatively devoid of fight. This team has sucked but based on talent and coaching they should not have a win or really a close game.
Plus Maye.
The 92 Pats were more similar to the 24 White Sox IMHO
Those two Stevenson runs after the pick….they would have been better off kneeling it for fuck’s sake.
