Game Day Thread 2023 OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Week 5 - New England Patriots vs New Orleans Saints

[VJCPatriot]

If Kraft had balls, he'd tell Bill

"listen, you aren't GM'ing next year, make a decision if you can live with that or not. If you can't, we'll let you go now, try Mayo out, and you can spend the rest of the year evaluating which teams you might want to interview for. If you can, prepare for a firesale by the trade deadline because the draft is the top priority. The new GM will be focusing on fixing this offense by all means neccessary. Expect a new QB, expect a new WR core, expect new lineman. Also the new GM is going to choose the new OC who is going to lead this offense, because your guys aren't cutting it."

Yup but Kraft doesn't have balls. He's going to wait until the end of the season and this team is like 2-15 before making any moves.

Are we officially the worst team in the league?

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Grier should get every MF snap in practice this week

Holy **** I forgot about this

Mac shouldn't take another snap as Patriots QB. Bill ruined him last year, it is what it is. I think he could have been (may still be) an average starter at some point.

Can you name any QBs who were ruined by their teams that didn't just suck?

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

The Pats are getting blown out so bad, my local CBS affiliate just switched to the Bal Pit game.

So I don’t even get to watch Zappe time

 

[PatriotSpy]

If you put in zappe last week

There really wasn't an easier third down throw than that?

yeah that was an easy throw, just missed him. Good read though.

 

[sb1]

Seen enough. Call up Grier and put Mac on notice. Or Cunningham.

Are we officially the worst team in the league?

At this point, probably yes

 

[Delicate Genius]

Hire Jeff Saturday tomorrow.

 

[Ian]

Well, the good news is, there's a good chance that barring a change, we won't have to sit there and be annoyed watching everyone else grab all that top 10 first-round talent, so that's cool.

 

[upstater1]

The board continues to underestimate how bad Mac Jones is.

 

[Ross12]

Seen enough. Call up Grier and put Mac on notice. Or Cunningham.

Make all 4 QBs game day active and just F around and see what it looks like

 

[slash83]

This team will have a top 5, maybe 3 pick next draft. They will be 1-7 shortly, it has to be a QB with that pick.

I've been saying exactly this for a while. I'd give Bill the option of continuing as HC, but only if he agrees to surrender all GM duties and prerogatives. TBH, if Bill declines the offer and chooses to go, I wouldn't be all that heartbroken, though it is all undeniably sad overall.

How did it reach this point?

Zappe coming off the bench and finding (not hitting) the open receiver. That's a huge upgrade if you ask me.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

If Mac's gonna salvage a career he needs to get traded.

I think the vikes would be an ideal landing spot. Playing in a dome half your games with some awesome weapons. He could either sit behind cousins or compete with whoever they bring in if cousins leaves.

20, 17, 15, 3, and 0

55 points in 5 games.....or 11ppg

If anything, Patricia comes out of this looking pretty.....

Mac Jones should never see the field again for the Patriots
