Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bears @ Pats

[NG Pats Fan]

Lazar, what a clown. We remember what you said dude. Can't hide mfer.

He really is a clown. He couldn’t shine the shoes of real sports writers

It’s not. And I’m someone who thought it was a no-brainer to go with Mac. The offense just looks better under Zappe.

Agreed, ii saw an immediate difference when Zap came in. Zapp looked calm and poised in the pocket (which is what mac looked like last year) while mac looked jittery like he thought he was going to get hit at any moment.

 

[ohiopatsfan]

Certainly not calling Zappe TB12 but eerily familiar. Starter goes down and backup comes out of nowhere.

Seemed to be playing scared to throw the ball. Taking off running more than Lamar, at one time (3rd down in the first series) just tucking it almost as soon as he got the snap. The pick came while he was once again running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Magically since Zappe came in we haven't seen a single scramble and guys are open immediately. I think I'm being converted... can't help it.

I think he came into the year looking to run it

Bad idea

 

[venecol]

I got money on this game. LFG Zappe.

 

[Betterthanmost]

It not a difference in playing calling, it is not the O-line playing any better, the difference is that this offense as constructed is suited to Zappe than Mac. That simple. Not that Mac is bad, just that this offense is not for him.

 

[Ross12]

I can hear the next excuse, the team was sand bagging Mac. Lol

I don't think so, but I am a little suspicious that Bill was kind of hoping Mac would screw up to justify the permanent move to Zappe.

 

[n6249c]

He wasn't ready, and they should never have started him. Instead, we likely just witnessed his final snaps in a Patriots uniform.

He was ready to play as he was playing all season

Belichick shocks me. He's so cut throat.

No coach in the league would give up on his 1st rounder so quickly

 

[cmasspatsfan]

There's no QB controversy, Zappe's the guy.

 

[PP2]

Always a good sign when Fields just starts running right away.

 

[Uptown]

Meanwhile, the Jets have acquired RB James Robinson via JAX. (I know it’s the wrong thread; don’t care..)

 

[fair catch fryar]

It’s not a competition though. Mac is at best a clipboard holder.

Love what I'm seeing, but we'll see.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Hebert is more dangerous than Montgomery IMO.

 

[venecol]

I feel bad for Mac. Maybe after Zappe puts us up by 3 scores, Bill can let Mac mop up the 4th.

BB's done it twice.

 

[doesntmatter1]

Our run defense needs to do much better.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Hebert is more dangerous than Montgomery IMO.

I've Always Thought this.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Run D better tighten up

 

[n6249c]

Zappe stop, I can only get so hard

And then you’ll burst…
