Too many points left on the field... and what's Gronk doing on that final play!?!?
Yes, the entire defense sucked on that final play, but Gronk in particular looked like he was just standing there all the way until Drake came close to him and predictably cut to the outside with a WIDE OPEN lane SMH. And of course, Gronk stumbled in pathetic fashion and that was that. I’d have put Josh Gordon out there instead of Gronk as "pass-catching safety".
Points were left on the field too. 3 points right before the half but Brady took that poor sack, then Gostkowski missed 4 points with his leg.
Just an awful loss. We really had it despite the struggles, but unfortunately we didn’t play the full 60 minutes. And when the first receiver caught the ball (I forgot who it was), TACKLE HIM! Don’t just go for the ball and whiff (while he catches and then laterals it). Brutal.
Best case scenario now is the #2 seed in the AFC, and next week's game could decide that too.
I’d say it’s a must win now too, not just for the 2 seed, but also to prove that we can do better and win on the road (only great win on the road was Chicago so far this year). That’s not to say if we lose that PIT gets it, but do you expect HOU to lose another game? Possibly, but I honestly doubt it. If NE wins, I see them getting the 2 seed, if they lose, then yikes, idk… could be PIT or HOU at 2 seed, and NE in the Wild Card game.
