Patriots first preseason game of 2021 post game thoughts.

Okay so the Patriots lost to the Giants in their first preseason game. A few quick thoughts.

The first half offense looked like the Patriots offense we all know. The blocking was okay but needed to be better. The line didn't completely suck but I thought in the first half they let defense win too many times. The running game didn't look that good even when they had holes out side of a few plays. And I didn't think the pass catchers did a good enough job getting separation.

Defensively I don't know if they were playing soft / loose coverage or bad but I thought they gave up too much underneath. And I still saw issues stopping the run. There was still a hole in the middle and they could do a better job stopping the runs to the outside. 

The return game didn't look anything special and the punt coverage looked like we'd expect.  Kicking game was kn point from what I saw.

If this is the offense they run in 2022 Mac should at least duplicate his 2021 statistics but I think they're gonna give up a lot of points defensively. I still expect the defense to decline this season to a middle of the past group and to rebound next year
