Patriots/Buccaneers thread

Even worse than the punt at the end of the first half.

Yeah, and even if he makes it you’re still leaving the GOAT near a minute to get TB in position for a FG.

 

[scottsp]

FG from 56 in those conditions seemed a little odd to me, too.

 

[Hoofbite]

I can’t believe Belichick kicked it there.

What was the plan Bill? You make it then lose to Brady going down and kicking a FG in 59 seconds.

yeah. That’s the plan. Fail on 4th and then what?

 

[Blake]

Bill can be real petty.

Mac Jones as a rookie put up better numbers than Dak did under the same conditions in 2019 in Gillette, maybe even worse, considering the rain and talent around him..

Patriots had number 1 defense that night.

Its 4th and 3 not 4th and 10. Odds are actually pretty good that you convert. Better odds than your kicker tying his career long in that weather

Rain was way too heavy.. a lot of yardage to overcome.

That stadium is silent...those Pats fans know tonight with Brady coming back, this was the official closure of their run of dominance. It might be a long time before the Pats are contenders again

 

[jwitten82]

They already gassin up mac jones for putting up 17 pts lol

I mean he did play pretty good, considering he has no weapons, one of the reasons Brady left. I get BB is a defensive coach but damn, you have to give your QB some weapons

 

[CATCH17]

yeah. That’s the plan. Fail on 4th and then what?

Let’s see..

My options are kick a 57 yarder in a monsoon and give Tom Brady 59 seconds and 2 timeouts to get the team in FG range..

Or

Attempt getting a first down, shorter FG, and no time left for time..

Bill screwed it up.

 

[khiladi]

Patriots had number 1 defense that night.

Zeke also rushed for 86 yards and Dallas had a much better OL line. And Dallas had “Air Dak” in year 4…. And Mac Jones doesn’t have anybody around him.

 

[khiladi]

Remember when Nick Folk was kicking for us…

Mac Jones is going to be real good. This may be the last year the Bills get the run of it. Depends how long Belichick holds on.

yeah, the odds are so good that teams routinely punt on 4th and 3 or less.

 

[DFWJC]

Wow, from 56 yards in the monsoon and he hit the goal post...inch from making it 37 in a row.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

It’s situational dude. In that instance BB should have went for it, just like we should have went for it on 4th and 6 against TB in the first game.

 

[khiladi]

The only advantage Mac Jones has going into the Patriots over when Dak went into the Cowboys is the HC….

 

[DFWJC]

Mac Jones is going to be real good. This may be the last year the Bills get the run of it. Depends how long Belichick holds on.

Josh Allen isn't going anywhere though

Meaning he doesn’t have Zach Martin.

Mac Jones > Dak (WHAT A BUM!)
