You're the biggest culprit Josh.
From now to the end of the season I want to see a smashmouth offense, Josh is being way too careless with the ball.
Man listen, ngl, there were so many games I've watched where Brady and the Patriots were absolute shit for 3 quarters. But Brady came back in the end, the defense held, and nobody talked about anything except how great Brady and Co. were.
Now, I feel kinda the same about this. JA plays meh, but when the 4th quarter came, he fucking SUPERMANS (handing the ball off to Cook, idk how it relates lol) - but in Bills/Pats - JA comes into the 4th Quarter and by the time he sits on the bench he has TIED THE GAME OR GOTTEN THE LEAD.
Both of those games the defense and special teams cost the game. But since they ended in losses, nobody talks about what JA did when he had to.
Not excusing the turnovers, they are killer, but man o man if some things go different ways, they'd talk about the 4th Quarter dominance rather than the turnovers.
That's exactly the type of win that McDermott wants every week. But when you've got backups of backups in your defensive lineup you've got to change the strategy because these guys aren't holding at the end.
I understand where you are coming from brother/sister, but I rarely remember Brady having costly turnovers, bad games sure but even then, he rarely gave the ball away.
The only game where I blame the defense is when we faced you guys, that was bad. But yesterday they had been in the field the entire game, Russ TD pass to Sutton was the perfect pass, nothing you can do there. The last drive wasn't ideal but the game should have been over by then.
