Changing my take:
This board accepting a lack of clock management down the stretch is the reason why this city can't win. You don't demand fucking excellence. I blame stupid fans that think it's okay to give Brady the last possession with 2 minutes. Another market would have flayed Reid for that sh*t. |

Let's frame it this way:
Surely everyone here agrees that Mahomes and the offense had a better chance of winning this game at the end. We know who our defense is. Wouldn't you rather play to your strength? I'd have rather lost with the offense on the field than with the defense. Period. |

Mahomes is the reason we were in a position to win, he's sure the **** not the reason we lost. Stop blaming him or that side of the ball. |

If that were at all true the offense would have scored a lot more than zero ****ing points in the first half.

Andy had designs on something in the 1st half, and it went horribly wrong. NE's D was fresher obviously in the 1st half, but it's still bizarre. Amazing how much there is to consider, like if our offense had aired-it-out from the jump. That's why we love the game! |

I don't understand how this is so difficult to understand. In basketball, you get the ball back with 20 seconds left at half court and you are ahead by one point. You don't score right away, you let the clock run a bit and try to score with a few seconds left. That puts the other side in a bad position where its tough to come back.
Here, we are talking minutes instead of seconds but the same concept applies. Yes you want to score and that is the first priority but you can waste the clock by methodically moving down the field. We gave them a bunch of time and plenty of timeouts to go get a touchdown. Every time they needed to score, they did. They got stopped early on when they had the lead but when they needed it, they kept converting. You can't trust your defense to stop them. Again, look at how the Patriots win so many of their games. They waste the clock when they need to and give the other team hardly any time to go get back the lead. It's the formula for their multiple Super Bowl appearances and wins. If it's earlier in the game, hell yeah push the ball down the field, get ahead and put the pressure on the other team. When you are in the last part of the game, you have to play the clock. If you don't, you lose. It's exactly how we lost this game, it's how we lost the last Patriots game, it's how we lost the Rams game. How many losses do we need to have this way before people can see it's a problem?

In basketball, you easily walk down the court and set your offense in scoring range for the optimal shot. In football, every yard of ground is contested. Just getting into scoring range is hard enough, let alone scoring. Reid would’ve loved to have the ball 1st and goal at the Pats 3 with 1 minute left, but there was no guarantee we could get into that situation, and no guarantee a series of short passes and runs even gets us into scoring range. |

Basketball and football are not the same sport. Horrible analogy.
In basketball you can stand there and dribble the ball with no negative repercussions. You can't just run the ball for first downs until there is :01 left and then throw a TD. If you could execute at that level consistently every team would be trying to do it on every drive. Just stop posting this nonsense. There's no such ****ing thing as a 4-minute offense when you are trailing.
