Game Thread: WEEK 4

[DJ]

It seems like the Russell Wilson trade has been completely irrelevant so far

Over-rated.

What kind of BS play calling is that Belichick! Utter BS!!

Bro, you got a defensive coordinator, calling your plays.

Better team won. Simple as that.

It looked like they tried like hell not to for quite a while

I love it. You simply can't win with second guessing assholes. Belicheck has made a living making that EXACT same call, even with decades of being right, one single time is all it takes to be attacked.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Over-rated.

We are Yucking it up in the Seahawks board.

Russell hated our Ol? Now look at the shit he's got

It's time we stop being "homers" with BB and say that he appears to be losing it a bit. He has to take over and call the plays there.. He just has to.. Patriots played a hell of a game but I am going to call out BB when he needs to be called out...

Packers ARE the better team though, I will certainly give you that but the Pats showed they can get it done

Orrrrrr.its time we accept that coaches lives are built on whether or not their decisions work.

So we can only call out players?

He isn't losing it, he just doesn't have a QB that is Brady. The difference in this game is one team had a QB and the other had a rookie QB that hadn't played and they don't know what they have. I don't know too many coaches that get that game to OT or keep it as close as he did. Hell, they actually had a chance at this game and he played it just like he needed to.

Yes he did. However, the 3 and out play calling I am talking about.
I
"losing it" is wrong wording, just the only thing that came to my head. They didn't even give Zappe a chance on the last drive. I totally agree with the first run but to hand the ball 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage again I just don't get. Before you all jump on me I know I am not a coach

I said Denver's OL wasn't very good and Broncos fans were telling me how it was.....LOL.

I understand...Pats fans have been going nuts over Patricia and Judge...

 

[DJ]

And Denver's great defense didn't do very well in stopping Jacobs today.

He had a monster game.

 

[redseat]

I understand...Pats fans have been going nuts over Patricia and Judge...

As we should be. Total head scratcher... But I have to take the good from this game.... IF given a chance it does seem like Zappe could be something and the Pats were in position to actually beat the Packers

A lot of Seahawks fans were saying it on this board...

Great arm, can win come from behind games.

That said, mobility was fading, limited vision over the middle of the field, breaks the pocket, does not help O-Lineman (actually throws them under the bus, watch the Pat Mcafee show on that lol) by failing to step up in the pocket, holding the ball too long, and dropping WAAAAAAY back.

There was a glaring number of concerns with Wilson, who IMO is still a HOFer but I still graded the trade favorable for Seattle. Yes I'm a Seattle fan, so people will argue "Well you're just a Seattle fan!" but I graded it (I think B Seattle, D Denver?) objectively, watching the guy basically every game since he started his career. I think Wilson is spent. He's done... it was a QB that relied heavily on legs/defense/ground game, and I think it 100% shows with what's on the field.

 

[fastforward]

I was impressed with most of the rookie QBs in preseason, Zappe included. I didn't see the Patriots @ Packers game.
