Based on reading advertisements for lots of colleges not too long ago college marketing departments find it absolutely critical to advertise their efforts on diversity and social justice. Since players are a similar age it makes sense to me. That's apparently how you connect with this age...

lol at the Dolphins.

What were we getting sticking with Belichick? How many increasingly bad seasons were we supposed to wait? Assuming we wanted him did he even intend on coaching long enough to have him start this rebuild? I consider myself pro-Patriots, not anti-Belichick. If there was a good path with him I...

This thread is appropriate for the 2023/24 Patriots. A dumpster fire.

This is a stupid football team top to bottom right now. We run out Mac Jones like we are desperate to lose and when we're at the draft pick finish line we win this meaningless game? sigh.

lol it is hard to find something that pisses off the entire American political spectrum but seems like McDermott did it.

As it applies to each of us in the immediate future this is true. Unfortunately it seems likely that our failure to take much more drastic action much earlier will end up being the dumbest thing the human race has ever done.

Even though Zappe threw a bunch of awful passes and failed to get rid of the ball several times and failed to score even a single point it was better than watching Jones.

What's our record if we had a 2nd/3rd tier NFL level starting QB? I just googled qb rankings and 16-18 are Dobbs, Howell, and Carr. Our guy Mac was 28th in that ranking but I think his play today was well below even that standard. He just keeps getting worse.

Hot take: I think we'll blow them out and Mac will look great but it won't carry over and we're right back to where we were next week. Some people will speculate he's turned the corner but they'll will be wrong.

I'm not sure if Mac was the problem originally but he has become the problem now. Water under the bridge. Leaves us in a tough spot since it would be nice to address some other desperate need vs. QB again so soon.

That throw is when I truly fully gave up on him so maybe the staff had the same timing on that? Guess I still kind of expect him to start next game.

I'd take any other team's first backup over Mac or Zappe.

Defense is actually good except on 3rd and long when they become the worst ever.
