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


THIS IS OUR LIVE GAME DAY THREAD:

This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.

At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.

MJ just beat a 5-2 team that has the best defense in the league, and he did it on the road, despite multiple key injuries on both side of the ball, including his own.

Our QB1 is such a chad.

He was far from great, but we was without Andrews and Parker and Bourne is hobbled. I want to see how he does against a Colts’ defense that isn’t nearly as good as the Jets.
 
Our problem is Patricia.

But those of you wanting to dump Mac (for who?) should look around the league and realize that there is a lot of bad QBing. Just look at the last 2 QB classes (and the QB classes before that aren't any good either).

The chances of landing a stud like Mahomes are minimal. Should be obvious when you see the amount of picks expended on Trubisky, Mayfield, Mariota, Darnold, Lawrence, Wilson, Lance, Fields and Mac. That's a huge number of picks for mediocre QBing.

Or, you wait to see these guys develop.

Because even players like Herbert are struggling.

Instead, you see vets like Dalton and Cousins playing well.

That should tell you how much seasoning you need from QBs.
 
Mac plays something like less than 18% of his snaps under center and is using play action on less than 10% of his snaps. Why is Mac unable to run the play action? He's not creating any additional room on passing plays by ducking the LB's up.

And before anyone says it's the coaches, Zappe ran about 48% of his plays under center with over 30% being play action. It's one of the single best ways to create space in the passing, especially with a RB corps like we have.

This Alabama style offense is not working well. At over twice as many interceptions to TD's, Mac is just doing everything in his power to throw the game away.
 
The pats have a season. The defense has enough with barmore and dugger back. They have the sam ehlinger colts & then the bye.

QB play is the elephant in the room. Mac has to improve quickly or the team is going nowhere after the 2nd jets game in 3 weeks.
 
The Krafts need to be making plans. When this season's over Bill gets called in and and gets the word - HIRE SOME GD PROFESSIONAL COACHES! If He says " I keep my coaches or I walk" they need to be in a position to show him the door.

Mac Jones is every bit of problem. He throws dumb ints one after another. He’s lucky that pick six didn’t count.
 
As an aside, how the hell does Zach Wilson get 355 yards from 20 completions. All I saw on RedZone were INTs.
Two big plays - 50 yard pass in 1st quarter that led to a FG, then the 50 yard poor tackling play on the last drive that led to a TD.
 
Never in my worst case scenario for this season did I imagine we'd still be waiting for one good game from Mac this deep into the season. Yes, there was the injury, but this is getting cringy.

It's like he has 2 modes when dropping back: tuck it and go wild, or turn into a statue

He's still a kid, I still have faith, but that faith is beginning to waver a bit.
 
Ugly as bleep win….but a W is a W….Defense stepped up pretty big until last drive…Meyers was awesome…Stevens better get a game ball and Folk too….McCourty had a great game…..Miles Bryant and Bledsoe sucked….OL sucked….and I have NO confidence in Mac….or our coaching! NEXT!!!
