Penalties fall squarely on our coaching.

Rashid usually makes up for his mistakes. A TD will do it.

That just it. We’re watching a talented group of Players who need a COACHING Staff.

Thinking about it further, there could be an argument for what Bill Belichick is doing as a GM. The Patriots have a lot of cap space, all their draft picks, and had a good defense until they lost their best player in Matt Judon last week. The theory would be that you take a shot on a young QB, make sure that young QB is actually good, and you delay on investing big in offensive weapons until you are sure actually have the QB. Once you get the QB, you spend the cash to win now. So although the Patriots have been mediocre to bad for a few years, they haven't broke the bank to be mediocre like we have, they have a war chest ready for when they have the right QB to bet the war chest on. They will likely take another shot at a new QB in the next draft.

The problems with this strategy are that maybe you destroy your teams winning tradition while you wait (but maybe you destroy that anyway if you bet everything on Mac Jones when he has shown you nothing and break the bank to get him weapons).

The second problem is that the Patriots have seemed to miss on getting Jones discount weapons to avoid breaking the bank. From N'Keal Harry to Schuster Smith to Parker to Elliott the Patriots could be said to be wasting whatever budget they do have on discount garbage. Then again, maybe its Jones making them look like garbage.

I could see an argument for the Patriots or another team keeping Belichick around as a GM, though his days as a coach are done I think. But the other problem is he is not brining in good assistants to modernize the plays or challenge him, he is bringing in the good ole boys he has worked with in the past. Much like us. So I think his conservative spending philosophy at this stage may be sound, but his conservative staffing of assistants is not.

We still run AK up the gut on first down.

dizzle88 · 10-08-2023, 02:58 PM

So the offense sucks again now

Guess it was nice for a half.
