Welp, thoughts on the most embarrassing loss in Patriots history
-Congrats to Denver, played a really good game, especially the defense.
-FFS Stephen Gostowski, why did you have to pick the AFCG to miss an extra point?
-Offensive Line played like absolute utter shit. I realize the O Line's been injured and hasn't had a ton of time to gel, but this was straight up embarrassing. Broncos were rushing just three and still getting pressure on Brady. Linemen (particularly Cameron Flemming) were frequently just standing there as Miller or Wolfe just blew straight by them. Absolutely awful play, and if I'm New England, I'd be spending my first round draft pick on this...if I had one, that is.
-Bad game by Brady too. Some of this is excused by the pressure, but he was missing throws all over the field. Those two interceptions were terrible decisions.
-Possibly worst of all, though, was the play calling. I'm not an expert on offensive coordinator duties, but I'd think that on third and 10 or so, it might be worth calling a play that takes the receiver, y'know, beyond the first down line. I don't mind the decision(s) to go for it on fourth down, but the first call was absolutely abysmal, again, largely because it's fourth down. You kind of need a route that goes beyond the first down marker.
