Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Jets

In spite of appearances it is gonna be very important game. The win would be a huge injection of self confidence for Mac against another rookie Wilson. To be honest I can't see a failure against one of the worst teams in the entire league. Loss would be unacceptable. Go Pats! I believe we will see the best visage of our team.

I want Gunner returning punts and JJ kicks...every game.

I have to admit, at times part of me wants to be a 'movie villian like' elitist rich old white man that treats the lower class like garbage, just cause I can.

And I don't think having that secret desire makes me a bad person!

0-2 wouldn’t end the season but this is by far the most winnable game in the next 3. Have to take advantage.

It wouldnt be season ending but i think we would be in trouble. We need at least 10 wins to get in. We can only afford 5 more (personally i want us to go 11-6) so win this one.

Jets have a Michael Carter on offense (RB) & defense.

Still getting used to the dark jerseys being the road uniform.

Have fun, everybody! LFG!

Is there a game today? Who’s playing?

LFG baby!

The 17th game now messes with historical stats a bit but the amount of teams that start 0-2 and then make the playoffs is very small.

Does KVN's generic throat injury designation equal COVID (breakthrough case)?

"Throat" is code for "concussion"

That 2015 loss along with the Dolphins one with a really weird game plan might have cost us a championship that season.

Although I didn't watch him personally, supposedly his fumbling was a problem at Oklahoma but his pass protection was really good, but both looked pretty bad in limited time in his first NE game.

Idk where you heard this. He wasn't experienced or savvy at all. He has reps there but wasn't used a ton in pass pro. And that's the key, he doesn't have a ton of experience. Especially in PA, he hesitates. I mentioned it a few times after the pick, in his thread but the urgency and technique weren't there coming out. He's not bad in some situations but needs a ton of work in pass pro.

Like I mentioned, I didn't watch him personally in college the way that I have guys like Mac, Barmore, and Damien Harris, so I can't say from first hand knowledge what his pass protection was like. But the Bleacher Report Draft Profiles said his pass protection in college was a strength: StephensonDraftProfile . But, admittedly while looking up draft profiles that spoke to his blocking I found one other that essentially said the opposite, so who knows. Certainly his pass protection was bad against Miami, that one play where he just about got Mac killed was at least as egregious as the fumble.

Plus 0-2 within the division would be a lot worse than your garden variety 0-2

I wanna see this today... mid 3rd quarter...
