Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Bears beat the Pats

[PatsFan2]

The D threw those 2 picks?

I thought it was lonely at the Top. It is at the bottom too.

 

[slash83]

Mac looked lost that's troubling.

That deep ball down the left sideline looked like a punt with how much hang time it had.

Also, as far as the defense is concerned, either fix the talent in the front-7 or can your son, Belichick.

The lack of defensive leadership, accountability, and energy is bad. They need a legitimate defensive coordinator who can properly lead a UNIT.

The D let Zappe down tonight.

C’mon, the offense after the two TDs went:

3 plays and a fumble
3 and out
3 and out
interception
interception

That isn’t the defense letting Zappe down.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

If Mac is broken...its Bill who broke him by stubbornly refusing to get him an experienced QB coach and playing mind games with him tonight.

You can't sit a 1st round draft pick just because a 4th round pick had a couple or decent games against bad teams ...nothing is worse with a 1st round QB than to shatter his confidence and make him think with every drop back pass he throws could be his last which could make Mac worse than better and could affect him a long time ......dumb azz move by Belichick IMO

They won't let zappe fever go...

I think Tom Brady is looking for a new team to join next season...

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

By the way, Bailey's punting is unacceptably bad for the highest paid punter in the league.

What's worse is that zappe in the second half came back down to earth. And did nothing but tipped passes and 2 picks. So now what does Bill do?

You joke, but I actually think there’s a non-zero chance this happens.

I think they need to bring in an experienced QB coach and stick with MAC and let him work his way through this. Pats need to know if MAC is their franchise QB or if they need to start over again with a new QB

If Jones is broken, it's Jones who broke himself but repeatedly making poor decisions and turning the ball over.

We shouldn’t be acting like he broke the 2nd coming of Brady. Mac has always been an average qb. A guy you can get to the playoffs with if things break right but a guy who isn’t good enough to take a team all the way.

 

[Deus Irae]

Mac looked lost that's troubling.

Mac is the one who came into the season with all the crap the Patriots were trying, and people noticed it was screwing him up. Zappe took over, played against bad teams and/or good matchups, and was given a much more QB friendly offense to run, while his defense had some good games. Tonight, in Jones' first game back from his high ankle sprain, when he probably shouldn't yet have been back on the field until the next game, people are judging him and finding him wanting.

That's insane.

 

[Ross12]

Offense was just flat and bad, not much specific to say.

Defense had lots of plays that started out good then went very bad. Then whenever they made good plays, they followed it up with one bad enough to offset the previous play.

I don't know what the steps are to make things right but I'd be selling at the trade deadline.

Commit to Zappe, trade Wynn, trade Agholor, trade Mac in the off-season. Use your cap next year to build around Zappe and see what you can make happen.

No idea what the outcome of that would be but it’s one approach you could take.

 

[Guts]

The I'm out comment Mac made is definitely not a good look. I hope he gets his confidence back

Your Boy only throw duck hunt helium balls Rob... Mac is Done here yeah he sucks.

I should have knew Zappe Fever was over the moment after his second touchdown he was all smiles and was shaking his head and singing a song

 

[slash83]

I wish his punts had as much hang time as Macs deep throws.

you clearly go back to the kid that you considered the next long time starting QB when you picked him as your #1 - and that is Mac...even if I personally see Mac as a journeyman QB for his career,he has to be the choice over Zappe

 

[Fubby]

Pissed on by the ****ty Bears at home. Belichick the GM and the coach continues to let this team down. Why on earth Mac got the start is beyond dumb. And he’s seriously running a professional football team out there with Bentley and Tavai as our middle linebackers giving up 250yards rushing. Mayo was out their in the offseason saying how the defense needed to get faster and those two lumbering oafs was the solution??
