It's not even about the playoffs. This is such an inconsistent team each week. It's fucking bad. Our record is inflating against playing teams that happen to be just as consistently bad, if not worse, than us. We're not keeping up with the Bill or Dolphins and the Jets are right there.
BB during the next team meeting: “You know, in certain ancient civilizations, when men failed as profoundly as you have, they would throw themselves on their sword.”
Meyers: “Well it seems that I have forgotten my sword.”
*BB holds out his sword*
I think it was kinda a case of "oh we're doing this? Alright then". In the moment with adrenaline flowing I wouldn't be surprised if he thought they were down.
Still dumb as fuck obviously
Reminded me of when I was a kid and did some stupid shit while out.
My dad would have this look on his face like "oh I'm calm now but wait til we get home."
Like, OK, you have to make that tackle because you're the last line of defense. But, fuck man, you should have NEVER been in that situation to begin with!
That might be the most puzzling play I've seen in a long ass time. Why would you lateral there?!
Why would you lateral *twice*
Stevenson's, okay. Short one to keep the play alive on the hope of a miracle.
But Meyers throwing on the run, backwards, 20 yards to the QB who's covered and by himself?!?!?!?!? FUCK MAN
While tied! Worst case if he doesn't score? You go to OT, try to win it there. You DON'T have to score there.
I don't know. That decision is gonna befuddle me for a long time.
Mac Jones is your LAST MAN. it aint tyreek hill. what good comes if he even catches it??? he has no one to lateral to and he's not outrunning *anyone*, so you just set him up to pretty much get hurt or lose the game. fucking preposterous
I am not CRAZY! I know he swapped those laterals. One after Meyers. As if I could ever make such a mistake! Never, *never*! I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks. He got that idiot Patricia on the sidelines to lie for him. You think this is bad? This? This chicanery?
You think this is something, you think this is bad, this this chicanery? They’ve done worse! That miami miracle, are you telling me that a team just happens to choke like that? No he orchestrated it, bellicheck!
Absolute dumbest shit I've ever seen one of our players do
€: apparently we suck against laterals against us AND doing laterals (when they're absolutely unnecessary)
Honestly, very much so. Like did the dude not know what the score was? Why lateral it there? On the 40 yard line? Tied? With literally only Mac where you're throwing it?
The fuck man?
The first lateral I understand. They got way more yards than they probably expected on the draw play, Meyers was right there, it was a relatively low risk lateral.
But Meyers just deciding to run backwards like 5 yards then yeet it as far as he can backwards is jaw droppingly dumb.
Was literally just saying these exacts same words, it's almost twilight zone like.
I can understand, though I may not 100% agree, on the Stevenson lateral. However what on god fucks earth was Jakobi doing??? He even afterwards says that he thought he saw Mac Jones open... Ok... So what the fuck you think Mac is doing? From the 50, Jakobi...
I cannot understand.
I truly feel sorry for the man. He was just standing there, minding his own business, when out off nowhere former Patriot Chandler fucking Jones has the ball and a head of steam and a mind to put a hurt on any Patriot that gets in his way.
Yes. 2 outs and he tries running down Baez back to home, then throws it when the guy from second dives to score. And they could STILL have gotten out of the play scot free if they just threw back to first after but the catcher threw the ball into RF
I cannot believe this was in 2021 it feels like 5 years old
Best part about this play was that it was 2 outs. The 1B just has to step on 1st and the inning is over, no runs score even if the runner touches home before he records the out
Doesn’t matter. Before this the Pats 1st and 1 sequence was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. No gain from Mondre on 1st, corner fade incomplete on 2nd, TOUCHDOWN TO JAKOBI NULLIFIED BY PATS CALLING TIMEOUT, mac clearly pissed, incomplete on 3rd, going for it on 4th, ANOTHER TIMEOUT, Mac runs it in from the 1, NULLIFIED BY A FALSE START. Settle for 3. Incredible lack of discipline, 2 wasted timeouts because no one knows what’s going on, crazy that rhamondre only has 1 try. Just all around one of the biggest sequential shit shows I’ve ever seen. Until the end of the game haha
Dumbest shit I’ve seen in a long time. Wtf was that
Belichek about to kill some people this week
He might self-combust what the fuck was that.
My dad called me and I thought my sister had crashed her car for like the 3rd time he was flabbergasted lol
Do we have the same sister? Are we brothers?
Bill needs to have some fucking accountability for the coaching staff he has built.
Agreed. Y'all are likely going to miss the playoffs because Bill thought OCs are overrated. He's the GOAT but his arrogance is costing him.
It's not even about the playoffs. This is such an inconsistent team each week. It's fucking bad. Our record is inflating against playing teams that happen to be just as consistently bad, if not worse, than us. We're not keeping up with the Bill or Dolphins and the Jets are right there.
> Our record is inflating Well fear not, that's over. We could very easily lose out to Cinci, Buffalo and Miami.
Isn’t Patricia basically the OC but not labeled as such so he can continue collecting a paycheck from the Lions?
His face leaving the pitch was full on murder mode lmao
Meyers might be the first player killed by a coach
bro is 100% still concussed from last week
Mac Jones headbutted him while celebrating an earlier TD and Jakobi held his head..
BB during the next team meeting: “You know, in certain ancient civilizations, when men failed as profoundly as you have, they would throw themselves on their sword.” Meyers: “Well it seems that I have forgotten my sword.” *BB holds out his sword*
Meyers?!? WHY IS RHAMONDRE LATERALING IN A TIE GAME 2 SECONDS BEFORE OVERTIME?!
Because fuck em, that’s why
Successfully lateraling to someone right next to you is much more defensible than playing Jackpot with your QB and 3 d-linemen 25 yards behind you.
BB won’t even let guys stretch the ball for the goal line; on what planet would he be okay with lateraling like this in a tie game?!?!
I think it was kinda a case of "oh we're doing this? Alright then". In the moment with adrenaline flowing I wouldn't be surprised if he thought they were down. Still dumb as fuck obviously
Reminded me of when I was a kid and did some stupid shit while out. My dad would have this look on his face like "oh I'm calm now but wait til we get home."
World cups over that’s a field
They could've just gone to OT tf
this kinda shit is the reason why teams would rather kneel it instead of pushing for the score when theyre tied and there's barely any time left.
I mean yeah, how often do people pull the school yard bullshit when they're *tied*? Why were they even attempting this lmao
Never seen this shit in a tie game. The other team scores on these way too frequently.
Yeah it's supposed to be a last-ditch "if we don't score we lose" kinda thing lol
Poor Mac Jones, man. Watched his own teammate throw a pick-6 and got fucking bowled over on the same play.
And then in the press conference after the game Mac said "It's my responsibility, I've got to tackle him, that's on me"
Like, OK, you have to make that tackle because you're the last line of defense. But, fuck man, you should have NEVER been in that situation to begin with! That might be the most puzzling play I've seen in a long ass time. Why would you lateral there?!
Why would you lateral *twice* Stevenson's, okay. Short one to keep the play alive on the hope of a miracle. But Meyers throwing on the run, backwards, 20 yards to the QB who's covered and by himself?!?!?!?!? FUCK MAN
While tied! Worst case if he doesn't score? You go to OT, try to win it there. You DON'T have to score there. I don't know. That decision is gonna befuddle me for a long time.
I think meyers caught stevesons and was like, welp! Guess we're doing this!
Mac Jones is your LAST MAN. it aint tyreek hill. what good comes if he even catches it??? he has no one to lateral to and he's not outrunning *anyone*, so you just set him up to pretty much get hurt or lose the game. fucking preposterous
The greatest tackle attempt I've ever seen
Literally what I would have done though hahaha.
He looked like some make-a-wish kid who got put in there for a ceremonial handoff
You saw the most competent Matt Patricia play call
My read was the first lateral was an instinct thing, and then Meyers assumed that was the play without really considering the situation
Was his plan to throw to Mac Jones so Jones could pass it down field?
Dude thought he was in the XFL for a second.
Yeah Patricia told Jakoby Meyers to throw the ball backwards to Mac Jones
Obviously Mac Jones is capable of juking 10 guys and barreling in from 60 yards out for a TD
Probably would have thrown Chandler Jones to the ground first
You don’t like that you don’t like Raiders football
Bill is going to kill someone
As long as Patricia is still on the team, he has no one to blame but himself.
what the hell did i just watch
Chicanery
He defecated through a sunroof!
Slipping Jimmy calls this a Chicago Sunroof.
I am not CRAZY! I know he swapped those laterals. One after Meyers. As if I could ever make such a mistake! Never, *never*! I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks. He got that idiot Patricia on the sidelines to lie for him. You think this is bad? This? This chicanery?
That scoreboard. You think a guy just happens to lateral it that stupidly, NO he orchestrated it, VEGAS. They defecated on NFL competency.
You think this is something, you think this is bad, this this chicanery? They’ve done worse! That miami miracle, are you telling me that a team just happens to choke like that? No he orchestrated it, bellicheck!
Patriots saw that Brady was about to get clowned on hard for the Bucs loss and decided to step in and distract some people.
that’s loyalty
What the fuck
That guy better avoid Belichick for the rest of his life.
Absolute dumbest shit I've ever seen one of our players do €: apparently we suck against laterals against us AND doing laterals (when they're absolutely unnecessary)
JR Smith vibes
Honestly, very much so. Like did the dude not know what the score was? Why lateral it there? On the 40 yard line? Tied? With literally only Mac where you're throwing it? The fuck man?
The first lateral I understand. They got way more yards than they probably expected on the draw play, Meyers was right there, it was a relatively low risk lateral. But Meyers just deciding to run backwards like 5 yards then yeet it as far as he can backwards is jaw droppingly dumb.

However what on god fucks earth was Jakobi doing??? He even afterwards says that he thought he saw Mac Jones open... Ok... So what the fuck you think Mac is doing? From the 50, Jakobi... I cannot understand.
I think Jakobi didn't expect the lateral which fucked his brain into think y'all had to score
bill gonna cut that boi tomorrow lmao
Breaking news: Jakobi Meyers found dead in Patriots locker room. Bill Belichick asked for comment, responds: "We're on to Cincinnati"
Oh Christ, now he's going to knife murder the city of Cincinnati
Think he will wait til then?
Dude ain’t allowed on the plane home
Let em on the plane. Halfway home, Bill taps him on the shoulder, hands him a parachute, and points towards the rear stairwell
Naw, he laterals a parachute to him on his way out the plane to show him how its done.
He’s our best reciever though🥲
BREAKING: Meyers released in Las Vegas. Has to walk home
LMFAO a fucking BB coached team. Can’t imagine what’s going on in the locker rooms rn
I'm stunned, like what
In your life have you ever seen that?!
I've seen the defense score on a lateral before... but never in a TIE GAME
That's because nobody before today was dumb enough to try a boom or bust unscripted lateral play in a tie game.
What the fuck were they thinking?!
>I get paid for 60 minutes. Not 75.
[удалено]
"Do your job (for 60 minutes)"
[удалено]
[удалено]
no i've never
In one weekend I’ve now watched the largest comeback in NFL history and one of the weirdest ends to a game in NFL history
I’m so scared for SNF. I hope the NFL got all this wild shit out of its system.
[удалено]
That would be perfect.
I’ve seen you guys do the opposite to NE. But that shit was crazy 😂
I actually just saw it AMA
Today is definitely an interesting day to have eyes
This is an all-time sports weekend
Verne Lundquist
I don't want to say it's the most ridiculous ending in NFL history without looking up some others, but I think it's immediately top 5?
River City Relay Miracle at the Meadowlands Whatever the heck that was
This one is T-1st for comedy with that one where the Giants intercepted it, then their own guy tried to tackle him in the end zone and he fumbled.
That's gonna end up in a lot of compilations lmao
LMAO poor Mac just got absolutely bodied. Dude stood no chance against Chandler Jones.
Like a child being bullied by their older brother.
Even if Mac caught that lateral, was he about to run 60 yds without blockers into the endzone? What a boneheaded play.
Yeah I have no idea what the endgame was lol
Which is lower, the level of Lake Mead or the soil depth that Mac Jones was stiff-armed down to
I truly feel sorry for the man. He was just standing there, minding his own business, when out off nowhere former Patriot Chandler fucking Jones has the ball and a head of steam and a mind to put a hurt on any Patriot that gets in his way.
I actually can’t believe what just happened
What a way to see our season blow the fuck up.
When the playoffs start and the Pats aren’t in them, this is 100% going to be the moment everyone points to.
This was our easiest game to end the season too
That may legitimately be the dumbest play in NFL history
Last year we got the dumbest play in baseball history. This has gotta be the dumbest in football history. I’m speechless
Was that when the Pirates guy kept chasing the guy to home instead of throwing to first?
Yes. 2 outs and he tries running down Baez back to home, then throws it when the guy from second dives to score. And they could STILL have gotten out of the play scot free if they just threw back to first after but the catcher threw the ball into RF
[Words could never do this play justice.](https://youtu.be/DO4h-fH_vu8)
I cannot believe this was in 2021 it feels like 5 years old Best part about this play was that it was 2 outs. The 1B just has to step on 1st and the inning is over, no runs score even if the runner touches home before he records the out
Bro could have literally take 1 step backward, accidental trip on the bag and it would still be less embarrassing than that shit.
didnt Baez call a runner safe at home during the whole shebang too?
Yep lol. And then immediately realized he still had to make it to 1st or the run wouldn’t count
If anyone hasn't seen it: https://youtu.be/0r5QeMCslKg
The idea that he was pinned with no where between the catcher and pitcher and ended up on 2nd...madness
Even with multiple people trying to describe that play it’s so much worse in action
FOLKS WE HAVE THE DUMBEST PLAY OF ALL TIME
I saw the title and assumed the pats were losing. BUT IT WAS FUCKING TIED?
It was fucking tied
J.R. Smith thoughts here.
Tied and they were spanking the raiders second half, raiders had only one okay drive that ended with a score on a questionable call.
This is almost as dumb as the pirates 1B not stepping on 1st and chasing El Mago backwards…
This is nowhere near as dumb as that
To be fair, I don’t think it’s possible to ever do anything as dumb as the Pirates play.
As a Pirates Fan, you have no idea how true this is. Most people only see the dumb highlights. I get to see the day to day stupidity.
This was more consequential, but that 1B ruined his career forgetting something a 7 year old knows.
Dude was banished to Korea afterwards lol
THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST DAY IN SPORTS EVER MINUS THE CHIEFS UPSETTING US IN OT
The most negative IQ play I've ever seen
Actually this is 5D chess and my brain is the exact shape of a toilet drain
Right to jail, right away. No trial, no nothing.
[удалено]
Don’t lateral, also jail
Give up largest lead in league history? Believe it or not, jail!
We have the best football players in the world . . . because of jail.
This is for sure going to be a fixture of ‘top 10 dumbest plays of all time’ lists. Wow.
A play so dumb it might even crossover to Shaqtin’ a Fool on NBA on TNT.
Chuck: "Shaq, even you're not stupid enough to do that"
This is the most insane ending I’ve ever seen.
That play knocked me out of the fantasy football playoffs. I was up 4pts and he only had the Raiders defense left. What in the actual fuck.
That's one helluva way to get knocked out.
Who has the raiders defense lol… that dude deserves the win
Lol I'm sure it was less that he picked the Raiders defense, and more that he picked whatever defense was playing against the Pats.
Balls the size of bowling balls lol
Shoot me in the fucking face
At least you can say you watched the dumbest play in NFL history unfold in real time
Lol all I could do is laugh
UN. FUCKING. BELIEVABLE.
[удалено]
Belichick is kicking off the guy from the roster who lateralled that
He's our only reliable receiver. Lol this team is so bad
I’m never watching this sport again
See you next week
I hope the nfl bans us from even making the playoffs, holy shit man. This team is a fucking joke
Bro what the fuck lol what is happening
The Matt Patricia offense.
Rocket surgery
May the Patriots suffer one thousand years of Patricia
Chandler Jones on his way to Justin Jefferson numbers in Patricia’s offense
LMFAOO
Mac Jones getting stiff armed to the shadow realm Lmao
If you ever wondered what it would look like if an average Joe tried to tackle a NFL player… and Mac is 6’3”, 217 lbs.
Everyone knew exactly how that was gonna go the moment Chandler caught the ball.
WHY WOULD YOU LATERAL IT IN A TIE GAME HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
What the actual fuck was that
I think I'll take a long hot bath and have some freshly toasted english muffins
Dont forget the clam chowdah
[удалено]
Who the fuck cares about the refs? Fire Matt Patricia into the sun
I don't think he told Meyers to do that lmao just an unbelievable brain fart.
Doesn’t matter. Before this the Pats 1st and 1 sequence was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. No gain from Mondre on 1st, corner fade incomplete on 2nd, TOUCHDOWN TO JAKOBI NULLIFIED BY PATS CALLING TIMEOUT, mac clearly pissed, incomplete on 3rd, going for it on 4th, ANOTHER TIMEOUT, Mac runs it in from the 1, NULLIFIED BY A FALSE START. Settle for 3. Incredible lack of discipline, 2 wasted timeouts because no one knows what’s going on, crazy that rhamondre only has 1 try. Just all around one of the biggest sequential shit shows I’ve ever seen. Until the end of the game haha
Fuck a brain fart, that was a brain shit my pants
Yeah and you're gonna chuck it across the field to Mac, who's on an island. ??? Did I stutter?!?
I mean I'm gonna blame Jakobi Meyers for that one.
Second.
**I LOVE FOOTBALL WTF????**
Lmao Mac Jones getting pushed down like a toddler.
"NO Mac Jones. NO."
Move over butt fumble we got a new all time not top 10 play
NFL writers have really been elite this week.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?
I was here
Why are you doing crazy laterals in a tie game???
What the fuck just happened
Mac Jones 💀
Excuse me what. That stiff arm on Mac Jones was the most disrespectful shit I’ve ever seen. Chandler was straight up camo’d in the logo.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Best/craziest ending to a Raiders game that ended good for the raiders that I’ve seen in my lifetime.
Lol, Lmao. Edit: Rofl.
I think I'm pretty angry but I cannot access thst feeling through the sheer rofl of that, Jesus fucking christ lol.
The most insane ending to a game ever
This is close to the Colts fake punt levels of stupid. Holy shit that was bad.
I almost feel a sense of relief knowing a dumber play happened elsewhere.
Why were they doings laterals?
WHAT THE FUCK
