Skins vs Pats - Game day thread

Anybody putting this game on the coaches doesn't know shit about football. You should be embarrassed.

Not sure why I feel encouraged about this lose but I do. I really think this team is showing improvement. I also think we have our franchise QB, and his name is not Robert.

Everyone that's here knows I'm not always the nicest to either guy, but they weren't the problem today. I actually likes most of the qbs plays and most of Grudens calls.

For all the mistakes on the road to best team in the world, 17 point loss not to shabby. Usually for is that's a 35 point loss.

I think the coaching was the least of the problems. This could've been an entirely different game had the RBs and receivers actually shown up.

Kirk Cousins actually played well!

You are right, if we hadn't made all those mistakes it probably would've been a competitive/interesting game. But the Pats have lost 4 times at home since 2009, and even if we had played a flawless game I doubt we would've handed them their fifth loss. The talent level and the cohesion they have is undeniable. They aren't the best team in the NFL by accident. We just aren't on their level yet.

I feel strangely ok with the loss too. People will say we got our asses kicked and we suck and cousins stinks because they will look at the box score and draw their own conclusions. Go Bucs. Our season is far from over. We picked the wrong day to drop 8 passes and an onsides kick too. Grant had it but couldnt hold on to that either. Maybe the patriots inflated our receiving gloves?

This game kind of reminded me of the game at Pittsburgh in 2012. A tough team in a tough environment. Good chance we were going to lose anyway, however so many drops, and the better team just slowly extended their lead over the course of the game.

I just hope that the team doesn't lay an egg against a very beatable Saints team.

Your good with that o performance? So lets blame it on the drops. We put up 20+ points if it wasn't for the drops?

Embarressed should be Jay and the offense staff...cousins played ok, can't blame him

Chico23231 · 11-08-2015, 04:40 PM

Another thing, this is after a bye. This isn't a good look for Jay and staff...not at all

I can think of two that would have taken us into scoring position. Others extend drives. The drop / int les directly to 7 for them. No doubt those 8 drops make atleast a ten point difference. No doubt.
You take away those drops I think we win 20-17 or something along those lines. You cannot really blame anyone other than Garcon n Carrier for not focusing.

Jay schemed Derek Carrier open on that first quarter drop, that was going to be a scoring drive if he makes that catch because he easily gains 40 on that play. There were several other drops on third down that killed drives.

And are you going to put the Matt Jones fumble on Gruden too?

It's the fucking Patriots bro. I don't know what you were expecting to see, but I know that they're 48-4 in Foxboro since 2009. And you thought WE were going to be the fifth??

We are not ready to compete on that level, to expect Gruden to come up with anything given the immense mismatch smacks of football ignorance. He was fine. We had no shot to begin with, but when the team drops eight passes I dunno what the hell you expected.

We were a few bonehead plays away from making a real push to be the fifth. We let the impossibility of the task get in our heads.

No one is arguing that the drops weren't a pathetic, but lets be real here, the 2 biggest significant drops were both in the first quarter. The rest of the drops were on fairly pedestrian typical short yardage routes that even if caught would have had minimal gain.

The Pats also had a wide open TD drop. I can't remember if they still ended up scoring a TD on that drive or not though.

The pathetic showing by the offense was certainly not helped by all the drops, but there was much more wrong than just the drops.
