    Mac and the "It Factor"

    Kinda like this kid very obviously quit on the team today? Things start going poorly and he goes on tilt, story of his career. But we'll keep doing the whole "no one could do better than this with these weapons!!!" song and dance after he puts 16 on the board and the defense holds the Saints to...

    Mac and the "It Factor"

    Will we still be bringing up 2019 Brady after this game, I wonder?

    Mac and the "It Factor"

    Obviously surrounding cast matters, but some fans don't want to admit that the gulf in performance between Mac and Tua right now is absurdly large and likely bigger than the difference in receiving talent around them. It's not like Tua's performing at a slightly higher level, he's been the best...

    Mac accused of hitting Sauce in the junk!

    I just don't get the people who thought an NFL player would just make up something like that out of thin air while specifically naming a culprit.
  5. RodThePat

    Mac and the "It Factor"

    The offense stunk in 2019 and was still significantly better than this year's offense by EPA/Play, even with worse weapons. This offense is bad, the weapons are subpar, the QB also isn't special. I don't see why there's this taboo over pointing out the last part when everyone is very comfortable...

    Mac and the "It Factor"

    We really have to put a moratorium on 2019 talk among this fanbase. It's so utterly stupid to boil down Tom Brady's entire career to "well, when he had **** around him he struggled to score too". I mean, as bad as everyone thinks this collection of skill players on offense is, it's still MILES...

    Feelings on Bill O'Brien so far?

    This year they are 24th in offensive EPA/Play and 24th in dropback EPA/Play, last year they were 24th in offensive EPA/Play and 22nd in dropback EPA/Play. They average fewer yards per play, fewer yards per rush, fewer yards per drop back. All of this while having the second best average starting...

    Feelings on Bill O'Brien so far?

    Better situationally (much better in the redzone, slightly better on third down), the operation looks more professional, fewer pre snap penalties, but at the end of the day they're averaging a whole yard per play fewer than last year and only four teams get worse production offensively on a per...

    Key Players [Mac Jones/others] Isn't/Aren't Ready to Play

    This analogy kinda sucks because the play caller/receivers/linemen aren't just inanimate objects to be manipulated by the Quarterback. They benefit from good QB play/are negatively impacted by poor QB play as much as the other way around. They aren't there just to serve the Quarterback, they all...

    Key Players [Mac Jones/others] Isn't/Aren't Ready to Play

    Going into Week 3 of Josh Allen's third season, he had 30 TDs (passing and rushing) and 7 turnovers (INTs + fumbles lost) in his preceding 14 games. He had already unlocked something by this time.
  11. RodThePat

    Key Players [Mac Jones/others] Isn't/Aren't Ready to Play

    Josh Allen was an improving player who had already made a massive jump from year 1 to year 2 and was seen as a raw toolsy prospect coming out. I don't know why people keep throwing out this comparison, Mac's strength was his floor and readiness, he doesn't have much more to unlock in terms of...

    Key Players [Mac Jones/others] Isn't/Aren't Ready to Play

    If he had a great OL, great receivers and a great defense would we learn all that much about who he is? I mean, it's the NFL, every given year there are what, 2, 3 QBs at most who get a situation that good? It can't take that to get a gauge because I think most of the backups in the league would...

    Speculation about why Belichick is still coaching

    Yeah, QB is one of Bill's strengths. Even guys like Hoyer, Mallett and Brissett started games and/or were high level backups for a good while. His track record at the position is very good.

    Stock up, stock down: week 2

    Dugger was ridiculous yesterday. Saved a TD with his reaction time to turn around after fake blitzing on third down, blew up a screen to Waddle that was perfectly bloked otherwise. Just those two plays massively impacted the score.

    Don't underestimate Jets [edit was Jets narrative ticking me off]

    Man, I just want you to tell me by what parameter anyone can say the Dolphins have a good defense. That's all. If the only body of evidence is 2023, how have they been good? If 2022 counts, how are they good? If neither count, how can anyone have any idea how good they are? We're just saying...

    Don't underestimate Jets [edit was Jets narrative ticking me off]

    No, because the Jets were awesome defensively last year with similar coaching and personnel and were very good Week 1 as well. Even yesterday, they held the Cowboys to 4.6 yards per play (just as a reference, the best defense in the league last year allowed 4.8 yards per play), they got blown...

    Don't underestimate Jets [edit was Jets narrative ticking me off]

    Dolphins defense is good by what measure? It wasn't good last year, it wasn't good week 1 against the Chargers. They may develop into a good unit as some of their injured starters return and the team assimilates Fangio's scheme more, but there's nothing to indicate they're a good defense right now.

    Key Players [Mac Jones/others] Isn't/Aren't Ready to Play

    They somehow rank 27th in air yards per completion and 20th in YAC per completion. There's often a tradeoff there between throwing the ball further upfield and getting less YAC and vice versa. They throw short and don't get YAC. The receivers don't get separation and he's not hitting guys in...

    Key Players [Mac Jones/others] Isn't/Aren't Ready to Play

    I'll tell you what, there's only one group of people more annoying than the ones who want to pin every offensive failing on Mac Jones and it's those that have to hammer the "Mac's not at fault", "Mac's not why you lost" stuff over and over and over starting from the first five seconds after...

    NEW ARTICLE: Breer: Smith-Schuster’s Knee “A Mess,” May Affect WR Approach

    Yeah, and then time passes and injuries happen and said numbers change. But I mean, he was indeed 0.08 seconds faster in the 40 yard dash 6 years ago and I'm sure he's exactly as fast. Also, how much of a bad person to you have to be to keep flaunting the fact that Meyers got CONCUSSED and...
