No big TV here. Watch the pass to Thornton again. Not close. You have no idea what 6" on a football field is.

It looked to me like Thornton was knocked off his route and slowed down. He should have been there for that. Throw was right on the pylon

Mac really just slid instead of trying to get it into the end zone. Take the hit and try to make something happen.

He should have known that it was either a TD or a FG attempt and made the effort to go for the end zone. Only reason I could potentially excuse him is if his ankle is still not 100% and he is unable to make a cut on it. But even then he should have just tried to go forward.

I was joking saying it was 6 inches literally measured on my TV screen and would be bigger than that if your TV is bigger due to scale. Sorry if that wasn't obvious. Taking the L here, yes 6 inches is a big under-exaggeration.

Thats from the End of last year, iand i caught 'small sample size' before the site shut down on me. most of last year the line sucked

Are we in 2023? Because the article is dated 11/23/2022

Will Josh make it to Thanksgiving?

I kept trying to find the word to describe Mac’s play other than gud or bama man bad. The word is confused. He’s playing like he is confused.

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

Does Mac have any skills that are required to be a starting NFL QB?

 

[JR52]

That drive stall was all on Patricia. They were driving the ball well with aggressive plays and Patricia went super conservative in the red zone.

Is this your attempt to deflect from a QB sliding at the 3? I'm not saying you are wrong to blame Patricia, but it's not all on him.

 

[PatsfanTN]

It hasn't made sense to me that with numerous guys over 6' that they don't spread things out with Henry, Smith. Thornton, Meyers and Rham on the field.

Totally agree.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

still only 2 possessions score

 

[mikey m]

Lmao

I'm gonna be honest: it's hard to really be excited when we win this year.

They look so anemic, constantly stall past midfield, little explosiveness, so many penalties, turnovers, etc.

They're a team that will either miss the playoffs at 8-9, or get blown out in the playoffs again

 

[jays52]

Will Josh make it to Thanksgiving?

Hopefully not. Get him back in here as a dedicated QB coach.

I watched last week's game - Ehlinger didn't look like this. That's what a good defense can do to a young quarterback. Just looks scared out there, nowhere near as confident as he was a week ago.

 

[ashley]

Great defense!!!

 

[Pats2000]

When the Patriots are playing a good offense and the defense is on its heels all game because the offense keeps going 3 and out, you folks won't be saying a win is a win

Slides like an All Pro.

 

[oceansizer]

8 sacks so far - impressive.

 

[Ross12]

Slides like an All Pro.

Sometimes with a side of nut-shot.

Last week Mac went head first for a first down. The announcers were talking about him being concussed. It could be that Belichick told him not to do that again.
