Game Day Thread 2023 WEEK 14 OFFICIAL Thursday Night Football Game Thread - NE @ PIT

THIS IS OUR LIVE GAME DAY THREAD:

This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.

At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.

Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.

This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.

If you do you will have your account suspended.

I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.

He should have started in September. We might be looking at the playoffs.
I said Mac should be benched last year when he led the NFL in interceptions before the Ravens game. Said Zappe deserved to start after going 2-0. He has to keep playing well and not turning it over… but “better than Mac” was obvious last season.

You just can't bench Corky like he is a back up RT. Would have been national news.
 
It just didn’t make sense. Mac deserved to be benched a long time ago. It makes me raise an eyebrow.
They can't say they didn't exhaust all their options and gave him all the opportunities they could. Now, Zappe is getting real opportunities and clearly, he's making the most of them. And he's only in his second year, so they sort of gain a little bit there as well.
 
Forget the FG go for 7
 
what's with these cameras unable to focus on coaches on the sideline? Did they buy 'Amazon Renewed'?
 
Shake it off 4
 
I want a win…. After today we can tank again. Smacking that grin and arrogance off Tomlin always leaves me feeling fuzzy and warm !!!!
Understandable but we still got the jets. Don’t really want to get to 4 wins.

It really dampens the “he has no weapons/it’s the OL” argument when Zappe is playing with Pop Douglas hurt both weeks and Bourne on IR and Connor McDermott at LT and he’s doing far better.
 
Surprisingly, the Steelers currently hold that edge:
15:33 - Steelers
12:27 - Patriots

But the turnover obviously was big tonight and played a factor there.
The Pat's defense has been getting ground down always on the field.
 
Eh didn’t like that play call
 
Zappe is so much better at moving in the pocket. The offensive line is doing better in pass protection than they have been but it matters that Zappe isn’t immediately going down as soon as a pass rusher gets close to him (like Mac does).

I honestly can’t believe the offense is moving the ball like this after watching all the other games.
