Commies takedown Pats postgame thread

The roughing call was embarrassingly bad. The officiating was horrendously bad. That crew needs to go. I'm being serious, just put flags on the QB.

I loved the rush from Henry. Get him more snaps please cause no one else sniffed the QB.

The takedown was textbook. If the NFL starts calling that roughing the passer consistently they gotta be outta their fucking minds.

4-5, I am going to start referring to this record as The Rivera. He's just a 4-5 kinda guy.

The NFL needs to quit being cheap and have full time officials. NFL is consistently inconsistent in their officiating. These guys should be doing more in between games to be getting in to game shape and this shouldn't be a side job for them. I don't mind a rule as long as it in enforced equitably and consistently.

I'm curious how this compares to all his other midseason records as coach of this team. Seems like we have the same flow every year - slow starts, losing record halfway, baller November record (10-1 last two years plus this year iirc), followed by December mediocrity to end up just outside the playoff picture.

Mac Jones will not be starting in NE next year. He missed so many passes. Del Rio should have been sending a lot of pressure.

EB was better today but on the drive where Sam threw the pick, run the ball there dude.
He is still way too pass happy. Get in the I and run BR. You had 3 timeouts. smh..

Perfect team for Forbes to get some confidence. Hope he can continue to play like he did today.

Outside of the int Sam played great in spots. We gotta take the good w/ the bad. He threw some absolute dimes. We all gotta remember we are basically playing a rookie and w/ that comes rookie bs.

And give Ron some credit. He had one of our defenders fall down and play hurt so he could take a look at the incomplete pass.

I thought the player faked being hurt because Ron was not challenging the call on the field. He gave the guys time in the booth to get Ron to challenge the play.

Referee Adrian Hill said afterward that the hit was clean, but that the flag was thrown because of how Henry landed on Jones.

“The ruling on the field was that the defender came down with forcible contact, chest-to-chest,” Hill said in a pool report. "He didn’t perform one of those acts to remove most of that body weight – a gator roll or a clear to the side when he was coming in. He came down directly with that force on the player, so the category was full body weight.”

Anybody got replay footage of the sack?

Somebody from the staff might've given him that instruction - I just saw a case a week or two ago where some other coaching staff told a player to fake an injury. Don't recall the team but I'm sure it will be in the news when they get fined for doing it.

Either way it was the right call in that moment, that was a good challenge. Idk why they don't make those plays reviewable by the official - we shouldn't have to waste a challenge on a bad call.

The call was pure horse shit. I don't care how that scrub tries to justify it. Absolute joke out of all the football I have watched this year that is the first of its kind. Typical fuckin nfl bullshit. Refs crooked as they come.

29 rushes for 124 yards….EB, I need more running but this is a start

Me seeing this weeks rushing stats and causally looking at Seattle avg giving up like 160 on the ground the last 3 weeks:
