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

[Skyflarie]

The past few games have been disappointing...Wish we could play the Jete every week.

The people like yourself who are mad at Mac will be part of the avalanche of people who will really destroy Belichick down the line if Mac goes on to be successful elsewhere. They'll kill him for not only letting go of Brady, but then setting his successor up for failure for the lack of offensive line and receiver talent around him. Should be exciting.

How are you sure these are the same people? It seems that Mac lovers all hate Bill.

Its not only that Mac sucks.. its the little things as a whole that are driving me insane. How many games are going to go by where we don't score a td in the 1st quarter?? How have we allowed that trend to continue for so long? Unless the opposition completely sucks, we seem to always have to fight an uphill battle.

 

[Trolltolls]

This is going about as well as expected.

 

[Ross12]

We were happy to see more freedom to make changes at the line given to Mac this year, but I have been getting the feeling as these games go by that it's too much for him. He has a rep for being cerebral but to me it just looks like he's in his own head way too much, thinking way too much. Maybe there was some level of sense in keeping it simple with him last season?

People like him seem more interested in being right about their negative takes than wanting the Patriots to win.

Yes

Mac will go on to be a star in the NFL.

Mac won't be that successful elsewhere, he's not good.

Mac Jones level quarterbacks grow on trees, if you give him an elite roster and weapons he's only ever going to be "decent".

 

[DOGWARZ]

The best defense for other teams is our offense

 

[farn]

Would not be upset if NE uses their first five picks on OL in 2024 and also signed another OL FA.

Uncle Rob

Tell your nephew Mac no more INTs.

 

[Racervx54]

Kraft should clean house TODAY....

 

[Ian]

Well, that sucks.

 

[Patsfan1958]

 

[Kdo5]

Our season is hanging in the balance right now.

 

[Thunderhead]

Top 3 pick please

 

[ALP]

players on offense that sucked here are playing at least decent in other places, TE smith etc....so i don't question coaching staff and personnel team intentions, but i seriously question their judgement at this point

 

[DOGWARZ]

Well game over barely into then2nd qtr

 

[VJCPatriot]

They have had first experience watching Zappe every day for the last year and a half, what, do you think BB is just sabotaging us with the worse QB?

At first your words sound logical on the surface... until you consider that BB is the man who appointed Patricia as OC and Joe Judge as QB coach last year!

I have stopped pretending to understand BB's choices a while ago. All I can do is point to his obvious mistakes and hope he will eventually clean up his own mess because as fans we can only watch the train wreck.

And there's the TD run by Kamara to make it a 14-0 lead.

With the way our offense is going that lead might as well be like trying to climb Mount Everest! OOF!

Said by someone who was dead wrong about Mac.
