On the eve of training camp, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said he breaks things into three buckets.

“We talk about the good, the bad, and the s— that gets you beat,” Vrabel said.

With that in mind, we’re divvying up what might’ve landed in each of those buckets when Vrabel and the Patriots turned on the film following their 20-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

The good

Maye-Boutte connection

Facing a third-and-10 from the Las Vegas 46 yard line, quarterback Drake Maye connected with wide receiver Kayshon Boutte for his longest reception of the day. It also might’ve been Maye’s best throw of the day, keeping both the ball and Boutte away from danger in the middle of the field. Boutte, who was the brightest of bright spots for the offense, concluded the day with six receptions on eight targets for 103 receiving yards.

Pass-rush twist and shout

Milton Williams didn’t finish with a sack, but should be credited for a hockey assist on one of Harold Landry’s. Williams and Landry, playing in their first game together, looked quite familiar with one another in the home opener. Landry finished with 2.5 sacks in the contest, none prettier than the one following a twist with Williams.

A glimpse of trickery

New England’s ground game was one of the more disappointing aspects (we’ll get to that), but one display of first-half trickery from Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels provided a sign of hope. Those sorts of plays weren’t commonplace under former coordinator Alex Van Pelt. With New England lined up in the Tush Push formation on third-and-1, Maye handed it to Henderson. The speedy running back took it around the left end for a 14-yard gain — the longest run of the day.

The bad

The game-sealing conversion on third-and-20

All the Patriots needed to do was not give up 20 yards. It would’ve made Will Campbell’s false start penalty on fourth-and-5, which falls into the bad category itself, easier to overlook. With 3:23 remaining and the Pats trailing 20-10, if the hosts kept Las Vegas short of the sticks they would’ve regained possession with three timeouts and the two-minute warning.

Instead, Raiders quarterback Geno Smith beat the blitz — a questionable call at best — and connected with Dont’e Thornton Jr. for a 36-yard gain. It all but sealed the game.

Baringer’s 21-yard punt

Vrabel didn’t call out punter Bryce Baringer by name, but he might as well have.

“I made a decision on fourth-and-10 with close to five minutes to punt, and would like a better punt,” Vrabel said of Baringer’s 21-yard boot, which failed to pin the Raiders deep despite the fact the ball was snapped at midfield. The conditions weren’t great, but neither was the timing.

Costly miss for O-Line

Rookie left tackle Will Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson had troubling diagnosing trickery during the preseason. However, it was the combination of veteran right tackle Morgan Moses and right guard Mike Onwenu who failed to sniff out a stunt by Raiders pass-rusher Maxx Crosby on Sunday. It ultimately allowed Crosby (three QB hits, sack) to pressure Maye’s throw and force an interception.

The s— that gets you beat

Maye’s interception

It not too dramatic to say Maye’s interception changed the game. Whether you point to the decision (it was second-and-7 at midfield) or the throw (it was high and wide intended for Stefon Diggs) or the offensive line botching the stunt, we’re of the belief Maye will be forced to watch it a dozen or so times. Those mistakes just can’t happen.

Ted Johnson explained what happened on the game-altering miscue during The Breakdown on Monday night.

Explosive plays allowed

The aforementioned game-sealing reception by Thornton was the most memorable. It did not stand alone, however. New England’s defense allowed nine plays of 20-plus yards, the majority of them being passes in which Smith beat the blitz.

The Patriots blitzed on 40 percent of defensive snaps, resulting in a boom-or-bust day. On the first drive alone, Las Vegas had a pair of 20-plus-yard gains including a 26-yard touchdown pass in which Tre Tucker breezed through the secondary.

Lack of ground gains

The Patriots ran the ball 18 times for 60 yards. Sixty-six percent of their rushing attempts (12 of 18) went for three yards or less. New England didn’t even hand the ball off to Rhamondre Stevenson or TreVeyon Henderson during the season half. That type of one-dimensional offense, largely a product of offensive line struggles, is no way to win in the league.
