I can't believe the Pats are just willing to put the entire game on their D without running Maye at all. I mean... I get that Veabel is a defensive guy but you're one slipped defender away from getting best and you're unwilling to play the ace up your sleeve.
Shanked Pats punt has Broncos on the verge of FG range. I'd be tempted to fire Vrabel if the Pats lose this game without leaning on Maye running the ball.
We just drafted two edge rushers in the second round and they usually take two to three years of development at the NFL area. Edge is the one spot where FA > draft feels necessary. Adding another high pick rookie doesn't add much immediate help. You need a quality vet in that rotation.
What an idiotic fuging 3rd down play call. I wouldn't run a single traditional straight drop back pass play in these conditions. Put your mobile QB on the move with an option to run. This is so fuging obvious. Why do they keep refusing to do it?
The forward pass is basically out of the playbook at this point with these conditions. The Pats having the better running QB is a huge advantage. Will they realize it?
I'm baffled that the Pats haven't realized by now that their best offense today is just letting Maye run. My offense would be a steady diet of read options and RPOs. Pretty much every play call would have a Maye run option built into it.
That was definitely a "we're going for it on 4th" play call except the play went absolutely nowhere. Might as well just go on 4th on any 45+ yard FG attempt in these conditions.
