PostGame Thread Official Post-Game Thread: Patriots Lose to Commanders 20-17

Mac did things wrong today, but I was perfectly fine with that throw. He threw it low to a spot only JuJu could catch and it would have put them damn close to field goal range. 999999.999999% of the time the worst case scenario for a throw like that is an incomplete pass. It was just dumb luck it bounced out JuJu hands and into the defenders, but that type of dumb luck could happen on most throws.

You will never give up.

Edelman would catch tougher diving catches than that on a near weekly basis. Gronk wasn't as much of a diving catch guy since he was so massive that he could easily catch over most defenders high.

But that catch was not an easy catch, but not an extremely tough catch either.

JuJu is the boogeyman this week.

Parker/Carter last week.

So would I. However the 1985 MF owes me a good nights sleep for that Monday night interception heartbreaker vs the Dolphins at where they could of clinched the division on the final drive.

Had to go to school the super tired and super depressed.

I soooooo remember that. INT was either by Glen or Lyle Blackwood

Really? 999999.999999% of the time a 15-20 air yard throw over the middle of the field (with multiple defenders in the area) to a very well covered receiver into a 2-inch window the worst case scenario is an incomplete pass?

I don’t blame Mac for the INT (though he’s extremely lucky he completed the previous 4th down “pass.”) However, throwing into man coverage, where the receiver has almost zero separation, has an inherent risk, which many (including the broadcasters) thought was a poor risk:reward decision given the clock, down, and distance.

He threw it low to a spot where only JuJu could catch. It was in front of him and the coverage was behind him and the defender who intercepted the ball was a good five yards behind him. The defender with tight coverage on JuJu had no shot on the ball.

Common demoniator?

Huh?!? I am commenting on one throw where even the Mac haters don't think it was a bad throw.

Where do we stand in the draft?

This meme is timeless.

I understand, but would it be out of place to point out that Brady was a 6th round pick?

yes and he got his chance in year 2 when the coaching staff felt he was ready

Can't come soon enough???

JuJu is the boogeyman this week.

Parker/Carter last week.

Huh? Where am I accusing others of Mac play for the game. I am talking about one play where the near universal take on this board is it was JuJu's fault and not Mac's. Hell, JuJu even said it was his fault.

Keep your chin up family..

Things Maye get better.

You see what I Did there??

Hah..

Don't mind me , making another drink.

I soooooo remember that. INT was either by Glen or Lyle Blackwood

It was Blackwood, what was funny, the previous play Blackwood came so close on a interception and Eason gives the guy redemption.

Where do we stand in the draft?

4 either trade up for 2 or pray Harrison is there.
Come back up in the late first or early second and draft.

Germany is in for a real treat next Sunday.

I think the Colts might demolish this team tbh.

2024 could be the first time in the longest time that Pats fans will actually have a vested interest in watching the first round and not just for waiting for Belichick to trade back and draft a guard.

Minshew is better than Mac

“Performance issues” lol. Great idea coach let’s let the team implode too.

He’s daring Kraft to fire him.
