Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Jets

[Lagaffe_07]

I think in a few weeks assuming Jones keeps playing like this, they will take off the training wheels and let him be more aggressive. More likely than not, they will have to against the Bucs.

Why not doing it against the jets? I can’t think of a better situation

Pat's offense beginning to reveal itself.

4th rushing
30th passing

That was last year.

Henry receipt...Gronk came to mind...finally...

Part of me wants McDaniels to open up the playbook in the RZ, the other part of me understands why they went conservative.

I think it is smart, Mac is still a rookie (one that hasn't won his first NFL game) even if he mostly isn't acting like it.

Let's take the win with no mistakes (and STILL no INT's by Mac), build up his confidence, and we can open the playbook later if we fall well behind against some team like Tampa Bay (earlier today I would have said "or New Orleans" after they clobbered Green Bay last week, but maybe not given their performance today so far against Carolina).

Beside the few trick plays, the play calling in the red zone is really conservative.

I like it. Wilson has 4 INTs and is sobbing. Mac is up three scores and blocking for his friends.

Because he is a rookie in his second game. It has nothing to do with the opponent. And early in the game the Jets were dominating the line of scrimmage. You don’t want your QB to hold onto the ball longer when the o-line is letting the defense through the line untouched.

I can't argue with you, but as the season progresses, I expect them to open it up more for Mac

We're up 22-3....let's just calm down a little

 

[Triumph]

Don't be unkind.

You obviously ran out of chicken wings.

Can’t wait till they take the reins off Mac. Cmon let’s see what he’s got in the toolbox.

Lazar already better than Josh drawing plays

I've been saying the same since we got them. Literally first page or two in my thread. Pass out of 12p with these two wide/detached. There's things to go after Josh about but too often you hear non sense instead of what's actually the problem.

Game one last week but we had Miami in base too often not force a LB on a WR/TE with 12p. It's one of the biggest advantages you have.

Bentley having a huge game.

Frustrated with the incredibly conservative play on offense, but it is the right strategy for this game. Hopefully, while safely getting the win here, we are also leaving some tricks up the sleeve for the next few weeks. We'll need it.

Looks like Zach is throwing to the bleachers. Is he spooked?

 

[PP2]

****... way to gift the Jets.

 

[Triumph]

Cam must have been throwing with Wilson in the off sesson.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I see you Barmore

 

[ausbacker]

These penalties have to stop.

Not trusting what he sees out there in terms of coverage.
