The New England Patriots entered uncharted waters six weeks after the season.
The Patriots have not held a record in October since 2002, Tom Brady’s first full season as New England’s beginner quarterback, and Sunday’s 18-12 loss to the Denver Broncos puts the Patriots at 2-3 a year.
The Patriots have had a tough season, especially in the last two weeks, and have shown prospects along the way, but nothing can excuse their Week 6 defeat to the Broncos offensively at a numerical disadvantage. They’ve still beaten Denver even with only two internships in the last two weeks.
The Patriots’ defensive controlled to prevent Denver from scoring a touchdown, but let them down to score six goals on the field. The New England offensive, with Cam Newton in the middle, simply couldn’t reach them.
No one to come.
Here are our main problems since Sunday’s defeat. All statistics are complex up to PFF.
In all, Cam Newton finished 17 of 25 for 157 yards with two interceptions and 4 sacks, while receiver Julian Edelman completed two passes with two goals for 38 yards.
Adjusted completion percentage Of Newton’s 8 failures, a hit on the punch line had an adjusted finishing rate of 70. 8.
– Newton only 0 out of 1 in deep passes.
– Newton under voltage of 1 four folds. He managed four out of eight for forty-five yards with a low-voltage interception.
– Newton held the ball, on average, for 2. 78 seconds consistent with the dropback and 2. 34 seconds consistent with the pass attempt. His season average is 2. 8 seconds consistent with dropback and 2. 6 seconds consistent with pass attempt.
– We’ll have a lot more on that later in the week, but how much longer can patriots hit their heads against the wall and keep jogging with open receiver N’Keal Harry and closed end Ryan Izzo as headlines without seeing what?Can players like Jakobi Meyers, Devin Asiasi, Dalton Keene, Isaiah Zuber, Gunner Olszewski or Kristian Wilkerson just do?Harry didn’t catch a pass on two targets. And the fact that he was attacked only twice the attack is the most heinous. Izzo hit three passes for 38 yards but missed after a 16-yard reception.
– However, this is what it comes down to: the Patriots’ open receivers and closed wings are Damiere Byrd, Harry, Julian Edelman, 34 and Izzo. It’s bad. There is no other solution, and one wonders how it was given up to this point since last season just as difficult.
– Harry and Newton weren’t on the same page on the Patriots’ last offensive play as the pass traveled about five yards from the mark. Newton was also chasing Harry on a previous coin in the fourth quarter, and the two weren’t on the same page. Harry has the prospect as a first-round pick in 2019. But he doesn’t fit. It does not work. Maybe the Patriots have a Travis Fulgham in their practice squad. They know what was given to them in Harry.
– Newton is also not smart as a pin for the moment consecutive game. Lately it turns out to have a challenge with the passes on the line, and they turn into ball losses.
LT / LG Isaiah Wynn Authorized pressures: two bags, quarterback, two rush / RT Mike Onwenu: two rush James White: quarterback hit, rush LT / RT Justin Herron: Joe Thuney CS: quarterback hit quarterback Cam Newton: bag
– A little context: The Patriots entered the game opposite middle David Andrews (injured reserve) and right guard Shaq Mason (COVID-19 / reserve). The James Ferentz Reserve Center is also on the COVID-19 / Reserve list.
So the Patriots put Herron, a rookie, in the left guard and Onwenu, some other rookie, in the right guard with Wynn, a left guard, out of position in the left guard, Thuney, a left guard, out of position in the middle and Jermaine Eluemunor at his usual right attack point. That was until Eluemunor left the game with an ankle injury.
That led Hjalte Froholdt, the Patriots’ ninth offensive lineman, to the right guard, pushing Onwenu to the right shot. The Patriots moved in with Wynn at the left take, Froholdt on the left guard, Onwenu on the right guard and Herron on the right shot. in the middle of the moment.
Essentially, the Patriots’ offensive line, through it all, reached its breaking point, and getting Andrews, Mason and Eluemunor healthy will resolve the upsets they faced as pass and run blockers.
This does not fully forgive Wynn’s problems, and in fact it is something to watch for, as it has been incredibly forged overall this season, suffering a calf injury.
URBAN ATTACK
Elusive QB Cam Newton notes: 10 yards after the touch consistent with the attempt, a failed shot of RB Rex Burkhead: 1. 8 yards after the touch consistent with the attempt, two shots have moved away from wr Julian Edelman: one shot has moved away from RB Damien Harris: 2. 67 yards after the touch through attempt, an RB shot has moved away from James White : 2 meters after the touch through attempt, a shot has moved away from
– Until the offensive line is healthy, it might not be worth investigating those problems too thoroughly, because the Patriots’ ground game has been this season.
– However, Harris did not appear as he did in the fourth week. We again wonder if you will maintain the leadership position when Sony Michel returns from the COVID-19 injury/reserve reserve reserve.
DEFENSE PASS
CB JC Jackson coverage: two stuck on targets, 43 yards, interception, two CB Jason McCourty break passes: 1-1, 41 yards LB Ja’Whaun Bentley: 2-2, 34 yards Kyle Dugger: 2-3, 31 yards SSS Adrian Phillips: 1-1, 17 yards CB Jonathan Jones: 1-7, 16 yards, INT, PBULB Anfernee Jennings: 1-1, 7 yards Stephon Gilmore Stephon: 0-2FS Devin McCourty: 0-1
– Jones, who divided his time between corner and security, had one of his games as Patriot. Jackson and Gilmore were also outstanding.
– Dugger played a bigger role this week and seemed forged in terms of safety.
– Gilmore received a ghost penalty in the finish area when he didn’t even seem to have clenched his fist, it was an absolute call from the referees.
Bentley Pressure: Captured, QB hitOLB Shilique Calhoun: QB hit, hurry up OLB John Simon: captured DT Adam Butler: hurry up Deatrich Wise: hurry up
– Outdoor Patriots supporter Chase Winovich played sparingly, with a total of only 22 out of 64 defensive shots imaginable. Rookie supporter Anfernee Jennings (28 shots) really played more than Winovich.
– Calhoun played a bigger role, watching the ground for 54 shots.
RUN DEFENSE / TACKLING Bentley: shortcuts, a failed Phillips tackle: shortcuts, a failed Dugger tackle: 3 Jones stops: 3 stops Simon: two stops, two failed tackles Wise: stop Calhoun: stop DT Nick Thurman: stop Devin McCourty: stop Terrence Brooks: tackle failed: tackle failed
– Patriots are giving in 135 yards on 37 hauls. The offensive part Phillip Lindsay totaled 101 yards in 23 hauls.
– Since the Patriots were reduced to 3 defensive tackles with Byron Cowart at COVID-19/reserve and Beau Allen still in the injured reserve, it may have been worse for the Patriots.
– Thurman, who left the education team, ended up betting 20 shots. Lawrence Guy’s veteran defensive version played his highs (49) of the season. Adam Butler, who got stuck in the game, controlled 20 shots.
– The more extensive use of Jennings appeared to be similar to the patriots’ superficiality as defensive tackle. Jennings plays internally and outdoors as a supporter and is a larger frame with 6 feet and 3 inches, 259 pounds.
