In this week’s episode of "Missing the Point", host Michael Marcangelo, Rayshawn Buchanan, and Bob Kelly dive deep into the New England Patriots' heartbreaking Week 2 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, 23-20. In a game filled with missed opportunities, the hosts break down where things went wrong for the Patriots, including quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s struggles to generate consistent offense and the defense’s inability to contain Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, who recorded over 120 receiving yards. Did the Patriots have a chance to win? Absolutely, but a blocked field goal and a lackluster second-half offense left them just short of victory.
The team previews the Patriots' Week 3 Thursday Night Football clash against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. Can the Patriots' defense, riddled with injuries to key players like Christian Barmore and Ja'Whaun Bentley, rise to the challenge? Will Rhamondre Stevenson and the rushing attack continue to be the team’s saving grace? And most importantly, will Brissett bounce back after back-to-back underwhelming performances?
Beyond the Patriots, the hosts tackle NFL Week 3 predictions and take a broader look at the league, diving into which teams are climbing the ranks and which ones are falling behind. The discussion also includes thoughts on NFL power rankings, and what fans can expect as the season progresses.
