Week 5: Saints at Pats

[Al Zarilla]

Bill has entered the Willie-Mays-On-The-Mets stage of his glorious career.

Or Namath on the Rams or Unitas on the Chargers to keep it in the sport.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

I mean, who isn’t?

Rex Ryan?

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Extra, extra special teams

 

[cshea]

Glad we have the highest paid long snapper to send grounders back there

 

[Brohamer of the Gods]

WTF was that?

 

[Harry Hooper]

BENTley

 

[Deathofthebambino]

It hung in the air long enough for both guys to have a play.

LOL, except one guy was laying on his back when the ball got there. Kind of hard to pick it from there.

That's a standard 50/50 ball to your outside receiver that he got one hand on, then 2 more hands on and couldn't come down with it.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

I'm not saying Matt Patricia deserves an apology, but at this point it looks like he was a run of the mill bad OC instead of an all time horrific one that made it impossible for any players to perform with. Not to mention, a whole lot of the stuff we criticized last year about being shotgun heavy, not passing from under center, not running play action was just either Mac's preference or what they believe he's better at.

Why did they run a lot of play action in year 1 for Mac then? Personnel in year 2 and 3?

 

[ifmanis5]

What does Bill do nowadays?

He has Cora-like energy.

He takes a lot of notes. I wonder if he archives them.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

It hung in the air long enough for both guys to have a play.

He took three steps back and just threw it in the air. The DB has as much right to the ball as the WR

 

[shawnrbu]

They quit.

 

[thestardawg]

Nice attempted tackle here. This team has quit

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Glad we have the highest paid long snapper to send grounders back there

 

[johnmd20]

Woof. Every play is bad.

 

[GPO Man]

I’m just rooting for the other bad teams to win now. Bears got a win so that’s a plus.

 

[8slim]

I just spent the commercial break explaining to my son that he’s now experiencing what it was like to be a Pata fan when I was his age (late 80s/early 90s).

 

[JOBU]

Lol. Ok

 

[TeddyBallgame'sDirtbagSon]

Hashtag sad

 

[ifmanis5]

It looks like they have quit. It's Dick MacPherson level effort today.

 

[bigq]

I blame the Patriots' miserable performance on their uniform choice.

 

[Ed Hillel]

If I had to watch this offense for 3 years, I'd quit on defense, too.

 

[8slim]

I think the D has quit.

I think the question is whether Patricia broke Mac.

 

[rodderick]

Why did they run a lot of play action in year 1 for Mac then? Personnel in year 2 and 3?

Don't know. Maybe it was their way of protecting Mac at first and they thought he couldn't rely on that if he wanted to improve, maybe he got more say in the offense and stated he didn't want play action/under center heavy play calling. I mean, they went right back to it with Zappe, so it's Mac related in some fashion.

 

[patinorange]

You think they should have cut Cardona this offseason or something?

No, I thiink they should cut him after the game.

The Patriots have run 15 plays and have 50 total yards, 24 of which came on one completion to Demario Douglas.

A huge percentage of our yards over the past two games have come on two plays by Douglas

 

[shawnrbu]

Taysom!

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Ugly.

 

[FisksFinger]

I just spent the commercial break explaining to my son that he’s now experiencing what it was like to be a Pata fan when I was his age (late 80s/early 90s).

I think you had it better

 

[RedOctober3829]

Blow this team up.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

He took three steps back and just threw it in the air. The DB has as much right to the ball as the WR

Exactly my point

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Does Sunday Ticket have an “I didn’t expect my team to be the worst in football” rebate? Asking for a friend.

 

[kartvelo]

at least they're consistent. everyone sucks.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I don't even think the defense noticed Taysom Hill was in the game.

 

[8slim]

I think you had it better

Nah, he got to experience 2014-16-18.

 

[OnWisc]

We’ll have a decision to make the way things are going. Can’t land a top 5 pick and miss on it.

 

[ngruz25]

All the fantasy experts told me Achane was a one game wonder.

 

[Helmet Head]

They quit.

Yep, they have. Sad

 

[ShaneTrot]

How did this team beat the Jets?

 

[8slim]

This place is gonna be EMPTY after halftime.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Saints are really good!

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Now we have zero ability to tackle

 

[heavyde050]

Nice try, defense!

 

[shawnrbu]

Blow this team up.

Need to start at Belichick, don’t you think?

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Taysom Hill just swinging his nuts in Phillips face with that stiff arm.

They're done with competing. It's ok to be bad, but the effort and lack of attention to detail is unbelievable.

 

[jose melendez]

It looks like they have quit. It's Dick MacPherson level effort today.

Effort wasn't the problem with the McPherson teams, at least the first one, talent was.

 

[rodderick]

This is bad, guys. Holy fucking shit.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

I wonder if Kraft is going to call CBS to mute the boos!

 

[Kliq]

Pats are just getting ready to make an inspired, teasing comeback that falls just short.

 

[soxin6]

Injuries and no offense have turned the defense to shit

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

The Saints offense was going to gel eventually. Glad we could help
