In his past two games Michel has not looked like a natural pass catcher. I can't imagine spending that high of a pick on a RB who doesn't excel at pass catching for this offense.

In case anyone’s wondering why I’ve spelled Sony’s name 3 different ways, it’s because you have to not suck balls in order for me to care how your name is spelled.  

 

[GoBirds]

Kick returner gave up 5 yards being scared of a tackle. 

 

[SayWhat?]

Their offense has had zero flow with this Michel business.  Mind numbingly dumb.  He must touch it on 70% of the snaps that he’s in on.

 

[conlilnew]

The Hoodie is determined to show everyone he was a genius when he picked Michel in the 1st rd

Totally agree, have implemented the same on Dallas QB.

He looks like he has oven mitts for hands. 

He’s jealous of the hands on gingerbread cookies.

DET must be 18 for 20 on 3rd down? Anyone able to find this stat?

Is there no place to find this? I've searched and can find nothing.

3rd downs

Detroit 6-9

Pats 2-7

 

[Hilts]

Michel is doing a great job keeping his o-line from getting too tired. 

 

[Buffaloes]

Hitachi Michel 

 

[SameSongNDance]

NE should've drafted Johnson.

 

[conlilnew]

Blount and Michel need to stay on the sidelines

 

[SameSongNDance]

Holy #### 14 more yards for Johnson. DET has to do it. 

 

[kyoun1e]

Holy #### 14 more yards for Johnson. DET has to do it. 

He's running through massive holes.

Pats D horrendous.

 

[SayWhat?]

Holy #### 14 more yards for Johnson. DET has to do it. 

He won’t, because his coach is in an underground competition with Belichick so see who can get their least effective RB more snaps/touches in this game.

 

[Bossman]

3rd downs

Detroit 6-9

Pats 2-7

OK ... DET failed with two FG's and an INT?

1st downs

DET 23

NE 8

TWENTY THREE first downs and they've only converted 6 on 3rd down? Jebus Christmas this Pats defense is bad.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Play by play would be where I’d start.!

 

[SameSongNDance]

So NE has been thrown on by Bortles and run on by the Lions. Oof

 

[Bojang0301]

Brady is struggling really bad with getting the ball to his WR’s this year. I don’t hope the best for anything Patriots but that organization better hope Josh Gordon is the fix to those issues otherwise were going to have to start having the uncomfortable conversation about Brady’s age.

 

[Hilts]

Holy #### 14 more yards for Johnson. DET has to do it. 

And break their record? They've got a chance at cementing their place in history, and you want them to blow it by giving their most talented running back more playing time?

The same conversation people have had a few games into the season for the last 5 years?

 

[Bojang0301]

No, we’re talking sub 35% completion percentage to WR’s.

 

[Mt. Man]

FG time again!

Still only a 2 score game, but hey, a scoring drive is a scoring drive.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Down 13. Do the Pats wake up & get the ball to White? Or do they continue the Toshiba Michellll experience? 

 

[Fool-on-Stoopid]

Play by play would be where I’d start.!

yahoos "Box score"

 

[Buffaloes]

Funai Michel

 

[Joe Mammy]

Josh Gordon Fix, Josh Gordon Fix Oboy.

Fear the Fish!!!!!

 

[Bossman]

Pats gonna run out of time here.

MIA going to win that division? I don't see the Pats able to beat a quality team with this defense.

They are a 9-7 team this year ... maybe worse.

That's the worst division in sports for like 2 decades. Ryan tannehill isn't changing that

 

[conlilnew]

Brady needs Gordon and Edelman

 

[Todem]

Grounding.....all the way man. 

 

[themeistersinger]

Given how poorly Michel has been playing, why not give Burkhead more action (in addition to White)?  Has Burkhead lost something this year?

Given Burkhead's lack of usage I'd have to consider cutting him, but give Michel's lack of production you'd think why not switch to Burkhead?

I would think a Burkhead/White tandem makes much more sense than what they are doing now.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Huawei Michel

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Wonder who forgot to run their route? 

 

[Bossman]

Thats BS ... the ref was open deep

 

[Mt. Man]

Super delayed intentional grounding.

As long as you get it eventually, right?

Seeing an intentional grounding call is like seeing a unicorn

 

[Hilts]

Brady trying to channel his inner Cam Newton. 

 

[Mt. Man]

Must be outstanding coverage, because Brady has sooooo much time.

 

[Fool-on-Stoopid]

Unnecessary Roughness that sack hurt the QBs feeling 1st down

 

[GroveDiesel]

Gronk looks like he's running with cement shoes on.

 

[Bossman]

DET score here will be the nail in coffin for the Pats.

... and have I mentioned that DET hasn't punted yet?

 

[Arodin]

Seeing an intentional grounding call is like seeing a unicorn

And seeing it called on Brady is like seeing a unicorn dancing a jig while shooting rainbows out of its horn.

If you put these players in different jerseys people would have vastly different opinions of them. Seriously, put Philip Dorsett in a Jets jersey or Cordarelle Patterson in a Bills jersey, Rex in a Texans jersey, Hogan in a Jacksonville jersey... this is not a well put together offense. They have Brady and they have Gronk. They lost their cornerstone LT and then the 1st round rookie to replace him. It’s almost as if the Pats have out Pats’d themselves.

 

[Bojang0301]

Gronk looks like he's running with cement shoes on.

Looked same as last year to me. Everyone else looks like #### though. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

It finally worked.

BB is a great coach ... best ever ... but he's horrible with player personell. His drafts are very weak.

Scott Pioli was the man making those decisions back when they had quality talent on defense.

Almost like it was intentional...
