He can do it, and has done it... He needs some help from his D and the skill players on O... Also he did this with no semblance of a ground game.. NE new he was gonna throw, rest if the team needs to step up like he has... Tannehill can't help the stupid fumbles, and the D's inability to make a stop when we needed it.... The whole stadium knew the Pats would run it... Our D was the weak link the last two weeks
 
I think the offense (not just Tannehill) needs to help itself more. I believe we have what it takes to be a very good passing team. That is the strength of this team and needs to carry it. We need 60 minutes form that group, no stupid fumbles, INT's, bad snaps etc. We all know the running game and defense, especially the CB's, are terrible. The passing game needs to carry the team.
 
He definitely missed some throws and he ****ed up but overall it was a positive second half and this game. the most important position on the team is a rookie learning on the job. I have confidence that the system that Gase has installed and the learning curve will catch up. It takes time and that has been proven time and time again.

We have played two teams, that if we are honest better than we are at this time and, we should lose to. We need to break it out against a weak Browns Team and play the Bengals tough and post bye we should see a much better product on the field. I have no illusions of the playoffs this year but we should be pushing for it next season and into the future.
 
Yesterday was about as discouraging as it gets. Not only are we still years away from contending, but we found out that New England will be just fine when Tom Brady retires, which we've been hoping and wishing for for years. I've been back and forth on whether or not football is worth the stress and frustration. Like maybe I should find a team that doesn't piss me off every week for years, but I haven't been able to do it. Now I have a deadline. If Brady retires, and Garopolo takes them to a division crown. I'm out. Hopefully we can avoid that.
 
Since that 2008 victory in Foxboro the lowest point total that New England has scored against us is 27 points in Foxboro. They average 32 points per game in those victories over the last 7 years. Tannehill had been in 4 of these games so he knew he was going to have to score some points to win. While the second half effort was heroic he has to get away from those stinker 1st halves that put us down early. History said he would need to outscore the Patriots. 3 points in the first half won't get it done in Foxboro.

See ya later
 
Looked like more garbage time stats to me. I dint really see that as "putting the team on his back". Definitely can't blame the entire loss on him. Major team L

On the sideline while our defense was methodically and brutally slaughtered. Those early 3 and outs are a killer, but a defense can't let an offense do whatever they want for the first 3 drives. Unacceptable.

Where have you been? We haven't been able to stop NE in Foxboro since 2008. You can't go 3 and out multiple times to a team that scores 32 per game against you in their home stadium over the last 7 years. Be ready. The early scores by them were expected by me. We needed to keep up to have a chance.

Exactly, let's not act like the offense were missing easy scores, although they eff'd up with two fumbles, an int and a botched snap the D as is way too customary allowed a back up to abuse them. The first half was a cluster f*ck both sides of the ball, at least the offense got going second half, the defense not so much.

So he put the team on his back and wasn't able to carry them so he fell over like a turtle and wasn't able to get off his back then Brady ran from the sideline and pounded the sh*t out of his ass. Hopefully, the seed that Brady left in tanny grows into a QB

So there is 10 year olds posting on this forum, stupid ****ing post
 
I love reading the 'It was garbage time stats" arguments and that "he lost the game on the interception" yadda yadda yadda. One simple truth in both games, the defense needed a stop in both games when it counted the most and failed twice.

Yeah the Seattle game was a complete team misfire, there were ample mistakes to pass out in that game that cost Miami the win but giving up 136 yards a game rushing (almost dead last) is not going to cut it. Garbage time or not the only reason it wasn't a final of 31-3 was Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill at least got the team into position to tie the game, hell the defense couldn't even give him the ball back with timeouts to use, the only reason there was a shot on the last second hail marry was missed field goal that 95% of the time is made. The defense did nothing special at all, zero. People bitch and moan about Tannehill's "huge" contract (which is actually pretty normal by comparison) but give Suh a free pass on his massive top of the league deal.

Wanna see a defensive player earn is contract look no further than Miller. When the game was on the line and Denver needed a stop against the best QB to come out in 2012 (I'm just kidding I really don't believe that at all to be honest because without a team around him he hasn't done dick either) Miller steeped up and made a huge play to seal the win. Our D has had two chances to be the hero but like the past years they are just a zero (zero on stopping a final drive, zero on getting a turnover, zero on stopping a 3rd and long, zero on stopping a run, zero on stopping a 3rd string QB) 114,375,000 / 0 = zero

When was the last time the Pats scored 3 straight (TD) possessions on us to start a game in Foxborough? With Tom Brady no less? I'm not giving the offense a pass here because Gase should realize we have to be far more aggressive on first and second down, particularly using the pass to set up the run instead of vice-versa. It's pretty obvious the run game isn't going to be serviceable until our passing attack is respected enough. With that said, Jimmy G looked better against us than Brady has in years! That's unacceptable. We've looked bad against these guys before, but never to the point where I thought they were going to put up 40 on us in the first half. No matter how you slice it, the defense should have performed much better in the first quarter. Both units, honestly.
