The miss came after Garoppolo, in his first National Football League start, directed the Patriots from their own 19 to the Arizona 15 to set up Stephen Gostkowski’s 23-yard field goal with 3:44 to play. “Coach was there on the treadmill watching film, and we just so happen to walk out at the same time”, a smiling Edelman relayed after a scintillating 23-21 season-opening victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

If the idea of the Patriots picking Garoppolo over Brady sounds nuts, ask yourself this: When was the last time Bill Belichick picked loyalty over what’s best for the team? “Again, blocking a couple of good pass-rushers, but he hung in there and gave us some plays in the running game and hung in there on pass protection, so I thought he did a pretty solid job”. “There were some critical errors by some young players”. On one play in the fourth quarter, facing first down at their own 43, Johnson broke off on a right tackle run and was stuffed at the line of scrimmage.
Arians said: “It was a low snap”. “It was not talent”. “You’re angry, disappointed, embarrassed, and that’s the way we should all feel”, Keim said on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. “We have a lot of areas that we can do that in moving forward, so that’s what we’re going to practice hard this week to try to do”.

That meant Williams was supposed to shift to man-to-man coverage but instead stayed in a zone scheme. In his biggest miscue, he was strip-sacked in the second quarter, which led to the Cardinals’ first touchdown. You’re just out there reacting to it, I guess. “We’re going to need to play better next week and succeeding weeks”. On a third and 15 at the Patriots 20, Garoppollo remained calm and found Danny Amendola for a 32 yard gain. “Other than that, he was not a factor”. That’s all of us – coaching, playing, offense, defense, special teams.
UConn football always seems a bit amateurish compared to the Huskie basketball teams and this loss was just another example of that. “Or he shouldn’t play”. New England received five of 12 first-place votes in balloting by media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Cardinals drew a penalty for a choreographed celebration.

“Missed assignments”, Arizona inside linebacker Kevin Minter said. Jonathan Cooper (Guard), who was traded for Jones, couldn’t play because of a foot injury. The Cardinals released quarterback Aaron Murray from the practice squad and replaced him with cornerback Trevon Hartfield.
