Playoff position not in the worst shape so far. Ravens and Bengals have to play one another later, one of them has to win. Assuming Chiefs beat the Raiders tomorrow, the only teams with a better record than NE currently are:

1. Bills 4-1
2. Chiefs 4-1 (assuming a win tomorrow)
3. Titans 3-2
4. Ravens 3-2 (assuming a win tonight)
5. Jets 3-2
6. Dolphins 3-2
7. Chargers 3-2
8. Colts 2-2-1

So still outside of a wild card spot, but not by a ton - in fact they're only 1 game behind the #3 seed. Several of the above teams play one another over the next few weeks as well, and the Pats play a few as well as some of their peers who are also 2-3 with them so they definitely have a pretty decent shot at getting back into a wild card spot if they keep playing well.
 
The Patriots SUCKED, this was a PATHETIC Performance, they should be Embarrassed...fkn Bill and his nepotism bullsh!t have to go.
Give MASSIVE CONTRACTS, we don't need depth, just studs...EVERYWHERE...we can do that right?!
 

Evan is somewhat of a clown, I called it out earlier.
I don’t listen to or follow the guy closely but from what I’ve seen, he comes across as some combination of self believed X’s and O’s guru, fan boy, and a pretender “in the know” guy.

Mike Riess is a top notch professional beat guy and sets the bar in my opinion.

I personally think he SUCKS.
That's just me.
 
Matt Patricia with another masterful game as a play caller. 29 points despite the huge limitation placed on him after the injury to MJ. He called an absolutely beautiful game, as usual.
Epic troll - my hat is off
I don't think anyone ever said the bolded lol
About "wasting a pick" on Zappe? I bet one of our local draft geniuses did. That said, if Mac comes back with a fire in his belly, last year's good draft might stay good too, but would leave our vaunted coaching staff with a good problem to have.

Mac, that painful attempt to throw a few balls while in ankle agony might be Bill trying to do you a favor. "Walk it off." Seriously, what a terrible thing to say. But I mean, get back soon and close that door, Mac. Zappe seems to be getting his foot in there.
 
The Defense played lights out.

Rhamondre Stevenson brought his A game.

Nick Folk led the team in scoring.

Zappe didn't make too many mistakes bar the interception.

This is the formula for a Patriots win this year: Play lights out defense, control the clock, and kick field goals until you win.

They shut down the best offense in football. Hats off to the defensive gameplan and defensive unit execution today. We're now 2-3. On to the Browns.

The int wasn’t on him at all, great ball that the WR juggled and landed into a defenders arms.

Little to no knowledge of this one due to coverage... but wasn't the INT off the target's hands? Have we litigated whether it should of been an interception?

Yeah and the INT was not Zappe’s fault it was because of Bad Luck Schleprock Agholor
 
The dud performance was for the Lions (hence the Lion emoji). Jon Jones was listed in the injury part of the tweet.
Ok. Got it. Just so happened that Agholor and Mills didn't have great games and harris didn't because of his injury..
 
Alright, it was a win - and I'm thrilled. But also some objective thought is needed.
1. This doesn't mean Zappe is better than Mac. He was clearly handcuffed, because the playcalls in the RZ were terrible. Because they won't let Zappe throw down there. So that's why all the surrenders for FG's. But we can't be as bad on 3rd down going against good teams.
2. Zappe did what he was supposed to - vs. the league WORST defense with 4 top DB's out. So temper expectations. If you think a gimpy Mac couldn't have put up those stats today, you're blind.
3. Defense looked good. That translates. It's as much Goff's continued ghosts of facing Pats than the talent or game plan. But hey, they executed and did it.
4. Meyers is the #1 WR, and has been for the last 3 years, just get used to it.
5. Rham is a beast and has taken over (we do need a backup RB quick though)
6. Great to see Zappe get the ball to Henry. Hopefully this cracks that barrier going forward.

WJH with his impersonation of @captain stone ..

I think you nailed it.
 
#teamzappe
Did you hear Belichick? Now I am actually no kidding concern for Mac. BB said everything Zappe came to the slidelines and told him what he was seeing and it was exactly what he was also seeing....hmm....
