Game Day Thread 2023 OFFICIAL Week 13 Game Thread: NE (2-9) vs LAC (4-7)

[Ian]

Mills hops on his back, LOL, too funny.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Bentley has just been solid. I remember people killing this guy, but he's been a great part of this defense.

He lost weight and plays faster now. Huge difference in his game

 

[Kdo5]

Hasn't been beautiful from Zappe but hasn't been horrible. Accuracy has gotten better. I'll take it over what we were getting from Mac. Maybe he can round out into a competent QB2 for 2024.

Ehhh, Zappe needs to go too I think. Just a complete QB overhaul is necessary.

 

[Ross12]

Lmao Mills ridng Johnston trying to tackle him... definitely a size mismatch there

 

[RIpats88]

There is next to no talent on this offense. One of the only good players was probably lost for the season today. This offense was going to be bad no matter who was the QB. It was just the degrees of bad.

There's a lot of posters who don't believe that though.

All I've heard is average QB play has us competing for the AFCE. And how our receivers just need a new QB to finally break out

is Keion White alive?

 

[Rob0729]

seriously, has a Patriots pass rusher touched herbert today?

Have they really needed to? They have done a pretty good job making him ineffective.

 

[RobertWeathers]

You think?

 

[Brady6]

At least with Mac we had to

Sorry but Zappe is better than Mac. He sucks and is still better somehow.

Nah Mac’s interception at least added some entertainment to the game. Will it get returned for a touchdown? Will it not?

 

[reflexblue]

They do not,

But this game is proving the roster talent on offense is just bad. Zappe not panicking like Mac. But results the same.

The myth that this team is just a QB away parroted by some posters is dying on Gillette.

Its a QB, O-line and kciker away from being competitive

We are watching history folks. No offense in the SB era has lost 3 games in a row giving up 10 points or less.

Remarkable.

 

[Thelonious]

Zappe. I have no idea what to make of this.

This is what the bottom of the barrel looks like.

I actually think the barrel got thrown into the trash truck.

There is a lot of irrational hate for Mac. I got into a fight a bunch of them who wanted to blame Mac for a sack where the guard missed his blocking assignment and the DT came up the middle virtually untouched.

 

[Thelonious]

Zappe has to do it all himself because his receivers are so terrible

So he and Mac have THAT much in common. Not surprising: they both play on a team with the same GM.

 

[sb1]

I was told that the weapons are fine and the OL is fine it’s just the Qb that is the problem.

 

[FCB02062]

Remarkable.

San Diego will get a touchdown eventually

 

[Mack Herron]

Remarkable.

What’s the longest scoreless offense?

Tom went 4-5 with **** talent after Oct 2019. We saw it.
Every QB needs competent pass catchers.

yeah, another guy said the receivers are open all the time or something to that effect
