Lol Gronk is not made for speaking on TV.

He's struggling to string sentences together.

Taysom needed to lead him a little more.

Still running on 2nd and 10.

Why do we throw short of the first down marker on third and long?

Pete reverting to his old ways again.

Kamara option route 5 yards short of line to gain

Because when other teams do it to us they get a first down so we think we can do the same thing.

Terrible play call on that third down. They looked like the offense we’ve seen all year… 2nd and 10 run up the middle, throw short of the sticks on 3rd

Okay wake up offense, let's go.

It's easy to criticize Pete Carmichael where we sit in front of computers with access to internet forums with fan suggestions on how to improve the offense, but to be fair Pete is an aging man in a noisy stadium having to remember those same fan suggestions from reading them earlier in the week, sometimes its hard to do that for 4 quarters and it's easier to just treat the playbook more like pin the tail on the donkey. There is a lot of pressure on Pete Carmichael not to call Dennis Sean and not to call Derek Drew, and asking him to also remember down and distance and call appropriate plays may be too much. Sometimes Pete needs to focus on the basics and just pick 3 plays and label them 1, 2, and 3 for the downs, but then he has to remember whether those are supposed to be for downs or quarters, and why there is no play with a 4 written on it, so he writes 4 next to a play where all the receivers run go routes just to be sure.
