Three GIFs that Defined Patriots Loss to Chiefs
Well, there were some hard choices this week as to which stinker plays I chose to represent the atrocity that went down in Kansas City. Here they are in all their non-glory.
This first one set the tone for the night to an extent. Close ball game early in the second quarter with a manageable third-and-two on the edge of field goal range. They try to run a sweep that gets BLOWN UP, especially my boy Stork in a “welcome to the NFL” moment. No sustained blocks, no push, and the Pats are punting.
This second one comes on third down of the Pats first possession of the second half. A critical situation where they could’ve gotten off on the right foot to actually make it a game. What do they do? Take a sack and a fumble. Luckily Solder somehow recovers it, not that it really mattered.
Finally comes a running play that was pretty much how it went this night. Dont’a Hightower looks like he should’ve blown his knee out and Chandler Jones gets completely sealed off, which happened a lot this game. Not to mention a missed tackle by Wilfork. This play sums it up – defense is right there to make the plays, they just don’t make them and the result is a big gain.

Mike, do you believe deep down in your heart this team can win the Super Bowl? Does this team have enough talent or are the daunting holes at OL, WR, and DL too much to overcome?
Winning the Super Bowl is about two things – staying healthy and getting hot at the right time. And by right time I mean for the three or four playoff games, not in November and December.
The best team in the NFL doesn’t always win the Super Bowl. The hot team that makes the key plays at the key times does. I still don’t see why the Patriots can’t be that team, but clearly they have to get a lot better. And they will be.
The biggest problem is these Patriots will always be compared to the great Patriots teams and players of years past. But this is an entirely different team, even if some of the players are the same. They have to find their own identity.
We don’t know what that is yet. And neither do they. So we’ll see just who they are over the next 12 games and then we’ll see how things go from there.

The problem with bad pass protection is the quarterback knows it’s bad and, human nature being what it is, starts to speed up his play. Tom Brady has done that. He even did it against Miami which, considering it was Week 1, tells you there had been protection problems in practice. The Patriots mostly use a short-drop passing attack, so it seems intuitive that it’s not exactly bad for a quarterback to speed up. But it doesn’t work that way. Speeding up means distorting the synchronization of route concepts. The Patriots’ passing game hinges on that synchronization.

I’m certainly not writing off the Patriots. Things can certainly look a lot better in a hurry. And really, isn’t it nice to have a little early-season drama? I don’t know about you guys but it’s usually all we have until the end-of-season autopsy. Losing to the Bills or Cardinals is one thing, but looking offensively inept is another. Everyone’s piling on this week but here’s a huge chance to right the ship in just four days.
