Patriots Pregame Thread Week 13 pregame: Chargers (4-7) @ NE (2-9)

[archstanton543]

Patriots featuring special teamers on their social media promotion...sad

Future team HoF'er and if they let pure ST players in the real HoF, he'd get in.

Get a grip.

I see Malik got promoted to the 53. I wonder if Mac will be inactive/emergency QB.

Cannot by nfl rule as Malik is an elevation.

 

[Thunderhead]

Another huge game tomorrow. Whatever it takes to secure the loss.

Can you expand on that?

 

[Mack Herron]

Can you expand on that?

Per nfl:

“The Emergency Third Quarterback must be on the club's 53-player roster; the player cannot be an elevated Practice Squad player. The club's starting quarterback (QB1) and its backup quarterback (QB2) must also be on the club's 53-player roster.”

They would need to sign Malik to the 53 for Mac to be emergency qb.

NFL emergency third-quarterback rule: Questions and answers

In May, NFL clubs approved 2023 Bylaw Proposal 1A that permits each team to dress a 49th player as its Emergency Third Quarterback. The following procedures are in place for use of an Emergency Third Quarterback in a regular or postseason game.

not for nothing but the St Johns Prep v Xaverian D1 Super Bowl is more exciting than ANY Pats game this season...

Not for nothing but both those schools can go to hell.

Thanks for the clarification, but I was questioning if Mac would be inactive/emergency designate, not Malik. As you indicated, Malik, as elevated, cannot be the emergency QB.

Check again. Mac cannot be emergency if Malik is call up #2. Confusing rule.

Thank you. Just when I think I understand this game, a new wrinkle.

At least we have something different to look at at QB as well as WR. Tough to generate much enthusiasm for the personnel, but it's something.

Hmm... Weather's gonna be Crappy. Windy-ish and Rainy. While I'd love to see an attempted air assault, I just see Ground Round and DinkNDunk Nut Taps coming up. Hoping to be surprised though.

Side note: The last time I went to the Ground Round was the Aaron Boone homer. Glad that whole area got demolished to hell.

Holy moly I haven't seen ticket prices like this for a Pats game in who knows how long.

"Different"? It's Bailey Zappe. We've all seen him play.

I wonder if season tickets are easier to get yet, i.e., are people moving up the wait list faster now?

 

[VectorPrime]

Big must lose game today. It’s the last difficult game the Pats have until Week 18. I mean difficult to lose.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Im actually quite worried we will win this. Chargers are pretty damn bad
