Bademosi was beaten on one play, a 3rd down by Agholor. Other than that, he was fine. Ertz and Agholor were always the issue next to their run game. It was never going to Jeffrey. Patricia had the wrong CBs on the wrong guys. Gilmore should have been on Agholor since they could have just used Harmon over the top on Jeffrey with Rowe and his length, trailing underneath on the 5 routes Jeffrey would run. That was the error there. That ear;ly TD never would have occurred if Harmon was told to stay back and mirror Jeffrey deep over the top. I am not even sure what he was doing nowhere near the back of the end zone on that play.
NE's D was without Hightower, Jon Jones (would have started over Butler anyway) and then when Chung went down, only then did Ertz start doing his thing. The D was at a big loss of talent there and Butler let his own teammates down with his actions.
Why are we not holding adults accountable exactly? Can you explain that? How is that somehow BB holds all the accountability, yet the players are the ones who supposedly are the only reason a team wins a game? That kind of contradictory thinking may mean you've got yourself in a pretzel again.
Isn't this partially why BB walked from Brady? All Brady did was lead the Butlers, Amendolas, Gronks, Dion Lewises, etc, into passive-aggressive land on social media and essentially led a coup in the locker room. How this would be praised by any fan is beyond me. And, what's humorous to me, is all of those players I listed above, no one wanted! BB made them millions upon millions. Gronk, Amendola and Dion Lewis were walking IR cases early in their careers and BB made them football players when they go to NE. Those guys owe their millions to BB for giving them a chance and taking his coaching.
Everything else is childish drama garbage by Brady and his bad leadership. I mean, how dramatic from Mr. Giselle. It's puke-inducing and embarrassing for Brady to have done all of this and left this way. Orr didn't do it, Russell, Williams, Bird, etc...No Boston legend behaved like Spaulding Smails on the way out the door like Brady.
I think it's incredible BB was able to get them to regain focus in 2018 to win another, because it's clearly wasn't easy. I also believe the word about BB looking to trade Gronk to Detroit in 2018 and Brady almost not getting on the plane to Detroit in preseason after skipping OTAs like a jerk, too. A JERK. Brady is a JERK.
