Or, you know that you cannot stop running QBs worth a damn and it's been going on for years, you know that Fields can't do anything well BUT run, and you anticipate their strategy for their attack.
What does this even mean?
Exactly what I said. Poorly coached teams commit penalties at a high rate, it's one of their most enduring traits. The Pats have committed an ungodly number of penalties this year. Why hasn't the coaching staff fixed that?
LOL what? Meyers took his eyes off the ball because he was about to get hit. That's not a "preparedness" issue. The Patriots prepare in terms of fumbling/ball security as well as, or better than, all the other teams in the league. This is widely known. Sometimes players fumble anyway.
Look at the play again. Zappe held the ball incorrectly. That's lack of attention to detail and practice at work. That play appeared to all the world that they didn't practice it before running it. I'm sure that's not true, but they certainly didn't practice it enough.
I'm not sure what this means either.
Decision-making and field reading was poor all night.
They clearly got clobbered. And it's inexcusable.
Only thing we seem to agree on.
I honestly have no idea where they go from there. It's been a 3 year rebuild and they've accomplished nothing.
