Offense leaves this team with almost no room for error and the defense couldn't get a stop when they really needed one all day. It is what it is with the offense, but i thought the defense looked poorly coached. Kept getting sliced by the same short yardage throws that were there because of the soft coverage and too many times it didn't look like everyone was on the same page. Geno Smith looked like a top 10 qb, that's how easy a lot of these throws were for him.

Can't only rely on the run. You gotta throw.

Jacoby is too slow and indecisive in those moments as we saw today

Hell baby
If the Blocked FG is a make we are talking about this being a win. Special Teams matters, just like we learned last year

Still generally encouraged but they're not winning the next two games. 1-3 and then see if Tua is playing or not.

Even when you beat the Chiefs you know there will be a flag

If the kick is made it's a 6 point lead with 3:52 to go. Geno Smith carved them up all day. It's not nearly as simple as you're making it out to be.

They better hope Maye is gonna be a star. I was banging the drum for MHJ. But considering Jacoby was going to be QB, he wasn't gonna throw to MHJ, sadly.

Unfortunately I think the combination of the Pats OL and Jacoby Brissett at QB would lead to limited production from Harrison.

Sure for this year then you draft a QB in the upcoming draft. Harrison was the best pick even ahead of Daniels and Williams. Pats screwed up the draft

This is about what one can expect from a tight knit, motivated lunchpail Patriots roster. Aside the secondary defensive scheme and play, they kind of played to expectations for their talent the rest of the way.

It is disappointing to see they have zero tolerance for missed points, but at least they do seem to play for oneanother and with some grit and determination. That is a good culture to build upon even if short terms W/L aren't in their favour.

It is very concerning the absolute beating Brisset is taking out there because at this rate Maye will be playing out of necessity by week 5. Brisset is getting trucked and taking hits not many other QB's are taking and you can see the D doesn't have any fear of penalties for being overly physical with him. That "land on top" hits on Rogers or Mahomes would have been penalties but Brisset is getting the journeyman treatment from the D and refs and that shouldn't be the case. You can also see why he is so respected in the room given the gumby game he has just getting trucked but back up every time. He's a gamer for sure.

The OL has to be a priority to improve in the off season, by signing some UFA's and drafting.
It was nice to see Henry have a good game.
White is emerging as a core player along with Gonzalez.
There is no doubt we can run the ball effectively, however, this won't last as teams will learn to defend this.
It will be a big test for the offense to make some adjustments against the Jets next week. I cannot see us running the ball effectively against them.
