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

[DOGWARZ]

Glad we spent the money all 60 million on these below average receivers

 

[Rob0729]

Said by someone who was dead wrong about Mac.

Who cares if I am wrong or right. I want the Pats to win.

Congratulations on your Super Bowl win. Fans like you are the worst. Celebrating the failures of this team. Pathetic.

 

[turkeyneck]

Is Cardona concussed?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

I'm in full tank mode, I'm not even mad with this.

We’re not tanking. We’re just not good.

 

[Mustangs84]

Getting to the point where every snap is a hold your breath moment waiting for something bad to happen. Even our long snaps have looked brutal. Tough to watch.

 

[Ollie]

Maybe the worst offense in the nfl right now.

Maybe??

 

[Fubby]

This team is just going through the motions at this point. No belief in themselves or their teammates. Just trying to not get hurt

 

[Keyser Söze]

Send Cardona to Israel in a Naval Ship

 

[Triumph]

Yawn. I haven’t said anything to defend Mac in the last game or this game.

Oh no.

Giving your nephew his option isn't defending him at all.

 

[oldrover]

Who cares if I am wrong or right. I want the Pats to win.

This.

 

[Ian]

I don't care - I despite the addition of Parker and I dislike extending him even more. Just mind-boggling how many times we have to watch moments like that.

 

[TomPatriot]

how is that not DPI or at least illegal contact?

Both players were hand checking. Unlikely to get that call.

 

[Keyser Söze]

They had a good week at practice though guys!

 

[TheRainMaker]

When your Offense and receivers are this bad, you are not getting any close calls.

Refs don’t feel pressure from no name players to make calls.

What does Parker even bring to this team?

He got an extension for no reason.

 

[Thelonious]

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.

The ratio of blame here goes about 20% Mac, 80% Bill imo. This is a little unfair to Mac, of course, given he was afforded so little opportunity to show what he can do (by Bill, that is). I just don't see how Bill the GM is not very largely responsible for this s--t show. If it costs us Bill the HC to get rid of Bill the GM, so be it. I feel sorry for Mac given how poorly he has been handled, but if I set that aside, I can't honestly say there's a lot of evidence he's a "franchise qb." I wish we knew, but we really don't, so the new GM will just have to guess.

 

[NE_Zealot]

The pats actually can get drake maye. insane

Why stop there? Go for Caleb at #1. This team can suck with the best (or worst) of them

 

[Vindicate]

Cardona is the highest paid, and possibly the worst, long snapper in the NFL. Why? Bill's Navy obsession.

He was for awhile the best. In fact I'd say until this year he was solid. Had the fastest longsnap in the NFL by a long shot.

Edit: to be clear, not disagreeing, just this _was_ why. Not so much "is" now.

 

[PatriotSpy]

Legitimate chance this team starts 1-7, if that happens you owe it to the franchise to consider pulling the plug on the final 9 games and suffering 9 bad weeks to fix the quarterback situation for 10-15 years.

if that means firing bill mid season, so be it. you know he has too much pride to tank.

 

[Racervx54]

F'in brutal....

 

[gtfanboy]

Years of neglecting the offense is bearing fruit right now. Keep on selecting defense in draft and get jag off offense in free agency.
