They were frightened.

I want Mass.

What is this?

Listen, I'll grant your Felger's crazy.

Uh-oh, uh-oh, up, up.

Here we go.

Man, I got to lay off the peyote. It was horrendous. Felger and Mass. 985, the Sports Hub. Any developing opinions on the game? Do you go back and watch any of it? Did you see any of it? have any, you think about anything, you know, from

again Sunday against Jacksonville, that

you can, I don't know, just any developing

opinions on the game? Well, look, Murray sent out an email this morning about that wheel route on the left sideline late in the game, and it would have been in the fourth quarter when Bortles threw the ball to Four Nett. And it was, who wasn't Murray in coverage? Marquise Flowers. flowers here. There's 212 left in the game. First and 10, Jacksonville, I believe, of the Patriots 38-yard line. So I couldn't remember whether it was Flowers or Eric Lee that was in coverage, because frankly, when it comes to the Patriots linebackers, I have trouble distinguishing one stink bag linebacker from the next one. to me, it's just a matter of picking your poison. But the play was there. The play was there. They missed it. The ball wasn't. Now, I don't know whether Fournett ran the wrong route. Like Murray and I were just talking about this a second ago, where, you know, Fournette was supposed to cut in, at least if you believe Romo on the telecast. And then you add in the play at the end of the game that Gilmore made, and it was a good play, but if the ball was thrown better with a little more air under it, that, you know, the play could have gone for a touchdown. And when you add those things up, you know, the realization you come to? If Jacksonville had a real quarterback, they'd have won the game. They'd have won the game. And so, like, you know what I mean? Like, I look at a couple of teams in that league now and say, they're in the final four. Jacksonville's in the final four. Minnesota's in the final four. Neither one of them as a quarterback, but as it pertains to the Patriots game in particular,

they picked a good day to be a little bit off their game, because if the

Jags had even, you know, had a guy who could make a play.

Okay, Bortles played well, but a lot of his throws were easy.

If they had a guy who could make a play at the position, Jacksonville would have won the game, and for that matter, they might not have taken a knee at the end of the second quarter. Like, you know, there were other variables in there that they might have been more aggressive if they had a guy who could make a play. All right, folks, we're talking amongst ourselves until Bedard gets here, so here's your chance

to get in before he starts filling up the air with his film study.

617779-095 on that play, Murray, when I first saw it.

I said to Fournette, dive?

Layout for that ball?

I put it on Fournette and not Bordals.

I thought he made the throw, and immediately, as just referenced it, Romo says that he expected Fornett to go in. And it's not what he does. I like Fournett. Obviously, I've talked about him enough over the season, but that's not what he does. He's not a pass catching back out of the backfield. If they have T.J. Yeldin there, to me, that's more of a coaching screw-up. If that's Yeldin, you probably have a catch, and there's problems.

Okay, I agree. I agree with that last statement. Murray? A thousand percent. Do you want to keep going? Because I got to follow up on that. No, no, go right ahead. Because that leads me to the next thing. And my takeaway is this. And it's really a big pitcher thing as well. And that is, Patricia had a good day. That adjustment in the second half with the blitzing and sending guys, you know, which is sort of out of their character, that was a big decision. Do you think that was him? So that's, you know, that's really at the core of it, isn't it? It's, is that Bill making the call? I mean, do we always just get Bill the credit but blame the coordinators when something goes wrong? Like, I mean, those coordinators in some respects are an unfair spot. I'd like to know. Whose idea was it? I got to believe that one's Bill. Because it was a good idea? No, because it's a big philosophical change. Like, that is, Bill doesn't believe in blitzing. They don't blitz usually. They just don't do it. Patricia can't send the dogs unless Bill says, okay. Right, because I think Bill, you know, look, ultimately Bill's good veto power, but I think, yes, exactly right. That's a big one. That's a big change. Okay, I wonder. I did it germinate with Bill and it was his call or did it germinate with Patricia? and just said, okay, you know, we'll give it a shot and did he defer to the coordinator?

Either way.
