Ray Rauth of sportscastr news wrote, "Last night’s game was simple for the New England Patriots, win or go home. Well, the Patriots left SOFI Stadium with the loss, and their playoff hopes long gone. What happened last night was the exact opposite of what we saw last Sunday when the Patriots beat the Las Angeles Chargers 45-0, in what can only be described as a complete team victory. Last night, under the lights, the Patriots fell to the Las Angeles Rams 24-3, and that game can only be described as complete team loss. The only New England unit that shouldn’t be in the dog house is special teams, besides that, the offense, defense, and the coaching, are on the hook for last night’s loss."
The Patriots played a bend, don't break defense that only allowed 17 points. If the offense did it's job, the Patriots' defense would've been acceptable. Newton barely completed over 50% of his passes going 9 of 16 for 119 yards and a pick six. Stidham had to come in during garbage time. He went 5 of 7 for 27 yards and a drop by Michel.
The running game which was has been led by Newton all year was average when they were expected to carry the game. Newton only mustered little over 2 yards a carry and the team rushed for barely 100 yards.
I could go on but like Ray said it was a complete team loss. This season really seems like a. Extended 2021 preseason. The Patriots have evaluated their talent and developed some of their personal. The Patriots end the season versus the Jets and should come out fully on offense if their eliminated from the playoffs.
While the Patriots are always one week at a time, never looking ahead. They're already on to 2021. Patriots nation needs to end all expectations for the rest of the year and just enjoy football.
