Was at the game. Huge and very LOUD crowd. Electricity was high! Yet somehow, the Cards couldn't seem to rise to the occasion.
Overall, they looked slow and often confused on both sides of the ball. I was so surprised to see the defense constantly not set while the Pat's offense came to the line. There were guys constantly pointing and screaming at each other as if they had no clue where to be lined up! Crazy...
Specifics:
- Our defense 100% cost us this game. Embarrassing that we allowed a first time starter, missing two tackles and Gronk, to dominate us they way Jimmy G did. No excuse to allow that and all the MASSIVE 3rd down conversions.
- Badger, playing with the knee brace, is not anywhere close to his normal self. He looked slow and tentative all night.
- We better hope and pray that Brandon Williams is somehow able to learn from this and the many other torchings he's about to experience!
- Our pass rush STILL sucks. Jimmy G had all kinds of time in the pocket and when we blitzed, we were never able to get home... Just pathetic.
- Tony Jefferson played lights out! Great, great game for #22!
- Michael Floyd has never been and never will be a viable #1 WR in the NFL.
- John Brown isn't right... at all.
- David Johnson... Just Wow!
- I thought Hump did a fine job in his first start. But why is it that when the Pats blitzed, they almost always got home or at least got the hit on Carson, and we rarely laid a finger on Jimmy G???
- Fitz.... Just WOW!!
- Bad snap... Cat still should've made the damn kick.
- Drew Butler simply sucks. Kills us!
- Kick Return team is flat out laughable...
I don't know... I hope my gut is wrong... But from all I saw last night, the team and the spirit and the flow all seemed oddly off. Perhaps the team will grow and come together during the season - I HOPE! But that crap last night didn't feel right on so many important levels. Like I said, I hope this team grows and improves from this point forward, but right now, I would say the odds shifted bigtime in favor of a frustrating season about to be unleashed upon us...
