Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Jets

[GreenCow]

I have to say, I like Matt Patricia as a defensive coordinator.

But this?

This is bad play design.

I even like the play calls.

But the design is horrid.

I put this all on Patricia and Belichick.

I'm not putting this on Mac at all since this offense (WITH LESS TALENT) looked much better when he was running it last year.

We're 8 games in.

Patricia is, well, not cutting it as an OC.

Sure, some fans may give him a break because his playcalling looks decent.

But---the design is all screwed up.

I said it before the season.

Good Defense coordinator does NOT equal good offensive coordinator.

“coaching is coaching” is what I heard on here over and over but it’s not true.

Before Patricia, only one coach in NFL history has made the switch from one side of the ball coordinator to another.

One. In History.

There is a reason for that.

Rooting hard for you guys. I want you to take down the Jete.

If they don’t trust the QB to throw, why have him out there?

Because they made a makeup call that sent the Patriots back to a 1st and 20 (goal) with the 1st down at the 1. He's not throwing 20+ yards into an end zone of 7 dbacks.

That's pretty clear.

I'm not even sure why you think this is mysterious.

 

[Nunchucks]

Why not get Thornton the ball in the 2nd half?

 

[StanleyGrogan]

I don't think Zappe would do any better today. we are missing so many key players today on both sides of the ball. Someone said it earlier. If we cant run it, we are not winning.

It's because he's not trying to have a conversation, he's trying to troll Patriot fans.

The last kid picked for kick ball was as well.

Mr Irrelevant is still an NFL player

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Very fortunate to be at 10-6 right now. Mac and the offense still the same story. Looks good for portions then a terrible pick / penalty / breakdown / whatever. They're still in preseason there, time is really running out to turn it around there. Wouldn't be shocked if we see Zappe.

 

[doesntmatter1]

That was the worst end of half play calling I have ever seen.

So bad.

I thought maybe Patricia was just trying to run the clock and kick the field goal.

But then he inexplicably called Timeout after every draw!?!?

He was hoping one of the runs would go for a big gain. Nothing to lose imo. They weren't going to give Mac a chance to throw after that int unless he was super close to the endzone. We weren't missing out on points again.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Weird cut off lol. Let's call it 40 passes, if we have to add 10 more it includes a TD we can't have that

No one here said Patricia was going to be good offensive coordinator.
Many of us said to wait before you judge because there have been others who moved over and did well in the past.
Show me one person who said Patricia was gong to be good.
That's a very different thing than refusing to have a knee-jerk reaction

 

[PP2]

Meanwhile, N'Keal Harry has his first TD.... lol

 

[VJCPatriot]

I'd just like to thank Krafty Bob for bribing the refs ahead of the game. Finally a move by ownership that pays off!

We're lucky to only be down 4 at halftime.

It's time for either a new adjusted offensive game plan or a new QB or both.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

we have to know all the info for the pick, wideout and qb. Mac had a DL barreling down on him. I don't think he had a bad half of football. The Jets are a top 5 defense.

I am rolling with Mac but if Zappe gets put in there i am of course cheering for whoever is our starter.......

 

[Ross12]

Honestly my biggest concern for pulling Mac right now is that it actually wouldn't be fair to Zappe

He had basically no reps this week.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Mac making the probowl is the same as Koko B Ware making the WWE Hall of Fame.

Mac helped bring diversity to the Pro Bowl with his Griddle or Giddy dance? Oh I don't know what it's called.

 

[Grogan14]

Its not the coaching. It is the overall talent level on the roster factoring in injuries is just not where it needs to be

 

[JR52]

I don't think Zappe would do any better today. we are missing so many key players today on both sides of the ball. Someone said it earlier. If we cant run it, we are not winning.

When you start to make throws, the LB's/Safeties have to start respecting that. Mac is not earning their respect.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

It looks like Mac is going to commit a brutal turnover to win the game for the Jets

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

I have no faith in this team to do anything special this year and that just sucks. I still hope we win so I can feel better about today at least.
