Pros, Cons, & Observations. Week 7: Implosion in London

Editor’s note: Systemic Suck starts at the top. The team was not equipped to compete in the NFL from the second Jerod Mayo was anointed. The overall approach, system, staff, and roster are a failing product with very little upside. The Kraft’s bet on themselves thinking they had anything to do whatsoever with the success under Brady and Belichick. It is now digging their franchise back into the hellscape that was the early 90’s with their top decision makers all learning on the job. All due to hubris. And we are not even half way through the season.

PROS / CONS / OBSERVASTIONS from a Week 7 Implosion in London

 

Observation- Coach Vibes called them soft after the game.  Good for coach vibes. They're a bunch of pussies.  Players agreed with him as well.  Several veteran again citing undisciplined defensive play.  New internal criticism to the party as well as Kendrick Bourne cites players not taking care of themselves before the game, and not being ready to play. 

 

There is a legitimate culture problem with the New England Patriots.  What started it ? And why isn't it going away?

 

Con-   Opposite problem of last week.  This time, they knew when the game started.  However thought it ended after the first quarter.  Which led to them getting run over in the game.  Jaguars controlled the game from the second quarter on by running the ball.  No adjustments made by Covington, who sucks as a coordinator.  Players looked tired and disinterested on defense. 

 

No one is ready for the position they currently hold. 

 

Pro- 3rd and 10 plus is no longer and automatic punt or FG attempt.   Drake Maye converted two 3rd and long attempts into passing touchdowns.  He pushes the ball downfield.  Looked better, 26/37 276 yards and 2 TD's.  Ball out on time again, scrambles to throw, looked more accurate.  He generally showed improvement.  Needs a lot of help around him. 

 

Con- Polk is opening the door to bust talk.  As is tradition with patriots 2nd round picks.  3 Targets , 0 Catches, fell on 2 point conversation.  Maye put 2 good throws on him that would have extended drives that he screwed up.

 

What do you do with him ?

 

Observation- Lawrence looks like a lesbian so we sort of held him in check.  Defense still does that ok I guess.  However without many lesbian looking qbs ahead could be tough sledding.
