PostGame Thread OFFICIAL 2023 Post Game Thread: Week 16 - NE @ DEN

I can't help anyone who isn't willing to look at Zappe within the context of the situation.

He's not the guy.

Today says way more about the broncos than it does the Patriots.

Help yourself first.

that‘s always the priority.

Wash won’t win another game IMO. Better question is can we pass them of both LOSE out and I believe maybe. It may literally be 1 or 2 % points deciding it.

Right. That was my question.

It appears they have the hardest remaining schedule so if we're lucky the niners and cowboys win out? And we lose out and maybe it makes the jump?

Per tankathon sim, here is what needs to happen for Pats to overcome Wash for the #3….assuming they are tied in W/L

Pats better lose out and maybe we can talk about it.

 

[n1997y]

Why is everyone so certain BB is gone?

Wishful thinking.

 

[Jim Beankie]

What about Washington? Can we pass them if we both win out?

If Pats and WAS finish with the same record, Pats will easily pass them because WAS' remaining SOS is a ridiculous .724.

Your biggest nightmare will be if the Pats win out. Because of how it all shakes out, they really could fall all the way to #9. I can't see Vegas losing out.

Tonight was really the first time I watched Zappe and thought there could be something there. He made some great throws and he moves really well around the pocket with decent awareness.

Just have to somehow root for the Jets.

Oh Lord.

I forgot to add ... the game has passed Sean Payton by.

 

[gtfanboy]

I keep wondering if Chicago will really go for a QB if they win the remaining two matches which has a decent chance of happening.

They might roll with fields for another year which might cause a domino effect.

No f’n way

The Zappe hype train is spinning out of control.
The Broncos are a pathetic team. Their defense tonight was horrendous. Zappe had a good game and he did have a 4th quarter comeback, which is more than I can say for Mac.
Let's be real, Zappe's ceiling is backup qb at best.
His weaknesses (height, arm strength) have not gone away because he beat two mediocre teams.

Just because he told someone he was going to be starting qb for the pats after being cut does not make hime teh next Tom Brady.

Bears aren't passing on Williams. Why would AZ pass on MHJ and trade that pick? WSH desperately needs a QB. They would take Maye/Daniels. Tennesse would take whoever Wsh didn't.

Titans likely aren't winning again. And would have the schedule advantage over NE at season's end. Assuming both end with 5 wins.

Where does NE get their QB now?

Drafting a QB probably probably isn’t on the table now, so they should grab one of the 2 top LTs and stock up on offensive skill positions.

If they don't get the second QB off the board then they need to trade back 10 slots and start accumulating first round picks.

Do you expect QBs to go 1-2-3?

 

[festy1986]

No f’n way

Jets probably win. I expect Bills future to be announced ahead of that game.

 

[Grogan14]

Do you expect QBs to go 1-2-3?

I think Caleb goes one to bears, Alt goes 2 to Cardinals, Maye goes 3 to Commanders

 

[palialka]

Do you expect QBs to go 1-2-3?

No…Williams and Maye will be gone. Not sure about Daniels.

If Zappe continues to win they won’t go for Daniels. OT is the obvious and safest choice

 

[palialka]

Trading down is another real possibility

I’d say Jets probably lose. Rushing defense is stout enough to stop Hall in his tracks. Not worried about their passing game. The question is can Zappe beat their defense?
