Patriots Pregame Thread Week 6 pregame: Pats @ Raiders

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Adam Schefter says to expect some changes to the Pats offense on Sunday.

On one of their first scripted plays, Mac will perform a 3 step drop instead of a 4 step, before dumping it off to Stevenson (tackled for a loss.)

I was thinking of that SB Juju that caught passes from Mahomes at the time of the signing. Not this Sluglike Juju who can't get out of his own way also Juju never saw a camera or microphone he didn't like smh.

This is the difference between the Pats and most other NYFL teams. If some team decides to let a player go then they decided he wasn't worth it. Bill will get rid of players for other unknown reasons, even if their worth it and performing. KC lets JJSS go, we pick him up and see the reason they let him go. Bill let's Joe Thuney go, KC picks him up and they see a cornerstone of their OL for years to come who's well worth the price.

I'm not sure that they have anyone or can get anyone else who can change things. This is as low as they've been in many years.. Basically, we're stuck with what Bill gets us.

I don’t want to change things. I want to get a top 5 pick so we can move on. Trying to salvage this season would be the worst thing that could happen to this team.

That's only fan-demonium... BB nor the Krafts are going to allow a purposeful tank. They're not aiming for the #1 draft pick, they're clawing to not lose all relevance and legacy. You better believe they're trying to salvage the season, and most of their true fans would actually abhor them if they did cash out the season now.

truly puzzling what happened to him. totally different guy this year.
Maybe losing the consummate pro in Damien Harris has left him exposed... another stupid petty personnel move by BB

He definitely looks like a guy who took his foot off the gas this season

I don't know why he looks so darn hesitant this year.... it's Maroney all over again.

Sounds like the 2020 season all over again when Cam refused to lose half the time. We could've gotten Lawrence, Milfson, LabiaLance, or ShotInthFields instead of Mac and the Pats could've been with Firjins in Valhalla with 2 SBs by now.

Defensive ranks with the offense being bottom-3 in Time of Possesion

Total Defense- 8th
Passing- 6th
Rushing- 16th
Yards Per Play Allowed- 6th
Yards Per Pass Allowed- 9th
Yards Per Rush Allowed- 5th (8th most attempts against)
3rd down- 6th
Only 10 TDs allowed (2 of them allowed were off turnovers were the opposing offense started in NE territory)

To illustrate it even more the defense gave up 2 FGs to the Saints while the Saints had -2 and -6 yards on the drives. Defense only allowed 2 drives of more than 45 yards in that game.

Who's that Imposter he's sure not the Rham from last year?? I can't believe how he's getting stuffed so much on short yardage for a Big guy.

Judon and Gonzalez ain't coming trough that door for the rest of the year...it ain't getting any better.

Josh McDaniels still has admiration for Patriots QB Mac Jones

Josh McDaniels remains fond of his time coaching Mac Jones

www.masslive.com

“He’s a very talented player. Accuracy has always been a huge part of his game, touch, anticipation. He has all those things at a very high level,” McDaniels told the Las Vegas media. “They’ve battled the same bug we’ve battled honestly, with the turnovers and losing opportunities through change of possession. So, I’m sure that’s something that they’re going to work hard at limiting and getting rid of, and it’s the same thing we’re talking about. But this is a guy who’s a very capable passer in every situation.”

...

“He’s played big and big games,” McDaniels said. “He’s battled against really good teams, made some high-level throws and hung in there. Very tough in the pocket, gets hit and gets right up and goes to the next play. So, a lot of respect for him, a lot of admiration for what he did when I was there. It’ll be a big challenge for us this week.”

I mean... you can have him if you want him, Josh... geez...

I think you misread the post. The defense has been fantastic, even without Judon and Gonzalez, especially given the awful positions they get put in.

And the loss is only 1 yard instead of 2 yards

I've decided that this team will win 12 games in a row, starting this weekend on the road in LV

Mac will regain his alpha status after a LV win, and regain my lustful affection

book it!

It’s the utter failure of the OL in front of him. It’s why Corky is broken.

It’s so obvious it’s hard to see.
