Game Day Thread Official Preseason Game Day Thread- Pats @ Giants

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

What the f*ck is up with the hot takes tonight? Good lord, it’s a preseason game and people are in midseason form. Holy sh*t, lmao.

I am fair. If that was Cam, people would have called him garbage. I still think Cam should start if it benefits Mac. No need to rush him out.

I think that’s the best situation actually. He plays against a real NFL opponent’s best, without his own full arsenal. Let’s see what he can do with it and how he handles it. I love it.

I can see your point but when you are still deluding yourself that he has a chance to be the week 1 starter, like I am, it’s disappointing to not see what he can do with starting level talent around him against the other team’s 1s.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Based on the limited snaps Cam got this preseason feels like he won the job before any games were played in the preseason

I think he did..

Felt that after week 2.

Looks like man coverage is messing with Mac.

Houston, we have problems at QB still.

But we knew that, right?

Looks like Gunner ran the wrong route.

Offense looks a lot like last year’s offense. Hopefully Henry, Smith, Agholor & Bourne earn their paychecks. Olszewski isn’t ever going to be even a decent receiver, just doesn’t know what he’s doing as a receiver. That drop on the 1st play of the drive hurt the Pat’s chances. Then on 3rd and long, Mac needs to hit the open guy, Taylor was WIDE open for a 1st down that would’ve continued that drive.

I don’t wanna hear any crap! Jones has a natural feel in the pocket unlike newton. He doesn’t throw it ugly as well.They’re really babying mac jones.

 

[Patsgofor4]

Am I the only one who thinks Daniel Jones isn't a starter quality qb in the nfl?

I would not be feeling great about him, if I were a Giants fan.

neither of the Patriots’ QBs played like garbage.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Bill seems to have a lot of loyalty towards newton just because of the experience. You need to let this kid play win or lose.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

neither QB played like garbage.

I meant on the last play where mac didn't throw the ball away.

I do admit.. he does seem to have a soft spot for Cam.

The ball clearly hit Gunner on the hands and chest. It was a drop again

I’m not sure, I thought the defender tipped it. Gunner did seem mad at himself, so maybe you’re right.

Well, you can visualize it though…. Passes don’t get dropped. Rush isn’t on him after 1 second every play so he’ll have time for that 2nd read.

But yeah, selfishly I want to see what he looks like with them too. But for his development, I think this is better.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

With two weeks before the first game, I expect a lot of trades before the final cut downs.

 

[Froob]

I would not be feeling great about him, if I were a Giants fan.

When Colt McCoy comes in and there’s hardly a drop off, it’s not a good sign.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Think I’ll stick by my prediction of an opening week loss to Miami. 2-1 going into the Bucs game

If we are starting Cam we are looking at 1-2 at best going into the Bucs game. 0-3 not out of the question

Based on the limited snaps Cam got this preseason feels like he won the job before any games were played in the preseason

If find that disturbing

 

[BlueThunder]

Did they move the start time of this game up by an hour or so?

 

[Froob]

With two weeks before the first game, I expect a lot of trades before the final cut downs.

I think Harry will be traded for a player.

I think starting Cam for 4 weeks is the better option. Mac will unseat Cam soon enough. I am just unsure if he will be ready for week 1.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Some interesting decisions to make

He is used to throwing to much better WR
