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

Masks on sideline = unvaccinated

Cam, Meyers and Bourne. Not good.


Plus Josh blowing snot rockets.

 

[Redman443]

Mac was drafted with the belief that cam even at age 32 is not the long term answer

 

[gtfanboy]

I step away from the game and Mac was balling. I come back and he looked like ass. Seeing a correlation.

 

[BobDigital]

I don't mind that sack on 3rd and 17. It wouldn't effect the punt much. May as well hold on as long as you can, try to escape and hope someone gets free in that position.

 

[stcjones]

Mac seems to be having issues with check downs and kind of locking in on 1 or 2 guys….a lot of open receivers/RB not getting looks

 

[Rob0729]

are your EYES watching this game? I've seen enough just on mechanics...Mac Jones is a far superior passer RIGHT NOW. Play to win, not the future.

I think he is superior, but that doesn’t mean Belichick will want to start him week one. I am guessing Belichick is concerned that he won’t last an entire season his rookie year coming from an 11 games college season to a 17 game season in the NFL. And there is a benefit for him listening to McDaniels call the offense from the sidelines.

Belichick is never concerned as much about early games as he is as the season goes along and he isn’t going to risk Jones’ long term development for a few games. I don’t think he will rush Jones to start.

And Jones Is the future. You put what is best for his development long term over short term wins.

You could make an argument that Stidham had one of the two best rookie preseasons in the Belichick era (after Garoppolo).

Ok great

 

[scott99]

3 sacks is concerning. He does need to learn to throw it away. I wanna see Hoyer in the 4th, don’t wanna risk getting Jones killed.

They both had no inkling they could start. Jones has been competing for that from day 1.

 

[DaBruinz]

I'm not impressed with Adams or Anderson on the D-line..

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Yes but he doesn't have a Glock..

That you know of…….

 

[Rob0729]

Just for the sake of conversation - that could've also been to try to get more reps on Cam. Mac was gaming last week without Cam, Cam only got so many snaps in joint practices. So he gives Cam the snaps with the 1's to try to even the opportunity out.

Obviously that might just be BS but it's a thought.

If he wanted to give Newton more reps, why was Newton done for the night after two series?

 

[Ross12]

The INT.

No, it's probably just nonsense. Just felt like mentioning as a possibility. I agree that it's 90% likely Cam is the guy at least for Week 1.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Newtoni

3 sacks is concerning. He does need to learn to throw it away. I wanna see Hoyer in the 4th, don’t wanna risk getting Jones killed.

Those are coverage sacks. Just run and tuck it.

 

[holyredeemer]

Came here to say I’m disappointed in Anderson. No way he makes this team, right?

 

[Jim Beankie]

************ *******, ok it was at 12:11 of the third quarter. Happy?

I see a TD but not a TO...

 

[BobDigital]

Do they need to play this 'who has my back' commercial on every commercial break? Are they worried we won't know when football season starts? Like we watch the NFL network without knowing that information?

 

[Ring 6]

************ *******, ok it was at 12:11 of the third quarter. Happy?

You mean the td?

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Mac making some mistakes, but I like the way he reacts with a half a55ed , preseason, nothing matters on the scoreboard games.

We know these games are situational, "put your guys under pressure" , prove yourself under duress, type of games.

I like the product, overall. Fell better with Mac under center.

 

[Joker]

Cajuste has shown up the entire game...on the negative side...JAG
