Patriots Pregame Thread Patriots Pregame Thread Week 18: Jete @ Pats

[Jim Beankie]

Just hoping for DD to get 3recs to get to 50 for the year. A TD would be nice, too.

For who?

Leaving a crap team for probably a playoff team. And for the Jets if they're trying to tank this last game. Lol

Should be interesting to see where he goes.

 

[sb1]

I said I appreciated his past greatness. His recent record is open to criticism. That doesn't make me a hater. This season is his worse ever. That's a fact. He's failed to do his job. I'd rather he leave one year too early then one too late.

Record wise but I'd say last season was his worst coaching job of all time.

Only one man would even think of putting Fat Matt and Joe Judge in charge of offense and a 2nd year QB's development...with almost zero experience in that role.

Jets openly trying to tank.
They are actively trying to lose. Let Cook go for nothing and supposedly Wilson is still in concussion protocol.
yeah right. No one can out tank the Jets.

Bill- no one gives a crap out this game except for you

 

[raduray]

Yeah. I think it's a bad look for an assumed team leader. These kids are getting bad advice.

I don't agree. Given the way coaches abandon the players they recruited and teams changing conferences for financial reasons, I have no problem with players protecting their future earnings, particularly when they're out of the playoffs.

 

[jdlboot14]

I'm on the fence, because I still don't want to lose to the Jets. Even if it lowers our draft pick a couple notches, that would be the kick in the nuts at the bottom of the barrel. On the other hand, a win could tip the scale for BB returning and missing out on the QB or LT of the future.

Doubt this means much since Cook wasn't getting many snaps anyway. Probably just did him a favor so he can latch onto a RB needy playoff contender.

People really think Zappe can out duel Trevor Siemian I love the Patriots too but let's get real we're a terrible Home Team.

And it will likely be played in the snow.

Bill must be suffering from dementia and thinks Matthew is actually Jackie.

I don't see how he could be confused.

The Tip drill on Zappe's passes should be fun.

Another way of looking at it: impressing your future employer by demonstrating commitment to winning and regard for the teammates who you fought with and depended on your leadership all season long. "Protecting your future earnings" is a weak sell, injury risk goes with stepping on a practice field. Not everything has to give way to money and selfish interests, but I suppose that might be an old-fashioned take.

Agree to disagree. I think NFL personnel people understand what's going on and are not affected by players opting out of bowls.

 

[Nunchucks]

I thought this was the Jets pregame thread, looks like a shiznit show.

I am conflicted on whether t want them to win.

I kind of want Bill back. Part of me believe he can turn it around....while Madden would say, he hasn't done it in 2 years, why would he do it now?

Still, Jones was terrible and Zappe is meh with a side of bleh.

 

[NormZauchin]

Eff the Jete. Pull out all stops. STs TDs, Defensive scores, trick plays, real kitchen sink stuff.

I do not want to see Bill's last game be like Tom's.

When you say pull out all stops, that means in a game where snow is predicted, bringing in the snowplow from the Hall at Patriots Place and making it ready to clear a place for Ryland (he needs all the help he can get). NFL rules be damned.

The players care. Most fans care. This guy does, too ...
