Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bears @ Pats

[Jim Beankie]

Go for it. Salt in the wound.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Maybe Mac's job is safe. Just drug him and convince him that his ankle was still not 100% yet

 

[Ian]

We can't stop the run.

Not without Barmore - his absence was big tonight.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

I’m realizing in real time it is possible for the Pats to finish LAST in the AFCE.

Good maybe we can trip over our ****s into a franchise changing player like the rest of the trash in the AFCE has tried for 20 years

 

[TheRainMaker]

Our linebackers need to be replaced. Bring Anfernee back. Otherwise... yuck.

He’s been playing.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Wussies.

 

[VectorPrime]

Now Bill will see who plays Hard at the end of this game and who goes through the motion

He should be judging Steve.

 

[PatsFan2]

I hate to say it. I still don’t know if Zappe is the guy. I am worried what teams will do when they get a book on him. And based on the second half, teams may realize that Zappe can‘t overcome defenses clogging the passing lanes based on his height.

I just have less faith in Jones who seems to be emotionally damaged right now.

We have problems especially on D.

 

[ensoul]

for the first time in a long time it feels like this team, Bill has no direction where they’re going.

It's just disheartening how well they've looked over the past couple weeks and then they turn into a team they can't play offense or defense?

It's not going to get any easier, they still have to play Buffalo twice, Miami, Bengals and Vikings.

Then they have some 50/50 games Jets and Arizona.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

I really thought when zappe came in and we started scoring we were on our way to a win. I'm shocked right now. We are playing the damn bears!!!

 

[Deus Irae]

Not to start any kind of back-and-forth, but just to point out a depressing similarity:


Both the Patriots and Bucs got taken out by teams that had no business beating them. Both teams are 3-4. Both teams have some soul searching to do. Both teams are in trouble if they don't get things going soon.

And that's going to make Patsfans.com the home of the fellowship of the miserable this week, as Patriots fans can't even say "at least Brady...".

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Is it?

Yes. We don’t have an elite qb. You can say wasting a first on Mac set this team back but tonight’s result? Nah. We still need to be in the market to upgrade the qb whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Ankle looked a lot better than his brain.

 

[upstater1]

Yeah, well, do you think Lamar Jackson will be franchised?

LOL!

 

[PowerRunRevival]

This is really a bad loss. The defense can’t defend mobile qbs, which is a big problem for the rest of the season. By far the worst defensive game the Pats have played all season.

Seems like the offense really struggles with pass rushes around the edge.

Crazy how the team can go from looking so good to looking so bad.

Really disappointing loss, I thought the Pats would roll. If the Pats wanted to be a playoff team this is the type of game they need to win. If the Pats lose against the Jets too then they should be sellers at the deadline.

 

[Betterthanmost]

We ****ed the week preps up.

 

[upstater1]

Folks, we can't give up on QB this easily.

You need to develop these guys.

Zappe didn't look like a superhero but Mac looked pretty poor in his few series. Who knows what things look like as defenses adjust to Zappe. I certainly don't feel great about the outlook at QB overall after tonight which makes me pessimistic about the team as a whole.

And then... there's the defense...

 

[TheRainMaker]

He should be judging Steve.

Won’t happen. Steve is the safest employee in the building.

 

[slash83]

His confidence is prob shot, he looked like trash before he got benched. Now I guess there’s a chance that lit a fire under him but I’m not counting on that.
