Everyone says it isn't on Mac but what people are saying when they say that is he wasn't completely horrible and didn't single handedly blow the game but he doesn't win games for you. He's averaging about 5 yards a completion and has 3 points on the board.

That's not a good thing when the biggest compliment you can give your quarterback is he doesn't throw games away like Zach Wilson.

There's becoming a clear track record that Mac Jones doesn't beat playoff teams, doesn't win games when the other team scores 25 points and doesn't deliver in the clutch.

That's not opinion, that's just pure undeniable fact.
Mac did 99% of things right so far. The play calling, dumb turnovers, penalties, receivers sucking, and the offensive line being paper has been killing drives. Doesn’t matter who you put behind center right now. It’s not a good team. Like I said, Mahomes was struggling without Kelce and the Chiefs minus Kelce are still more talented than us. Brady looked miserable all 2019 with what he was given and then bailed for a good offense, the Pats have not put a much better offense on the field since then. The Chiefs understood Mahomes needed Kelce and Hill. The Bills understood they needed to get Diggs for Allen. The dolphins got Hill for Tua. The Bengals drafted Chase because Burrow was comfortable with him. Even the Jags made WR investments at a big cost and it made Lawrence look much better.

You can see what works. The Patriots refuse to do it.

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy at this point. They made all the mistakes we used to trash teams like the Jets and Browns for after they spent years of sabotaging their young QB’s.
 
People are actually blaming Mac for this?

He's been pretty much fine
 
One thing no one is talking about is the lack of turnovers this team is creating.
 
"Gimme a game manager at QB... no O Line and a sprinkling of WR that drop it in key moments. Yeah that oughta do it."

- Bill, probably.
 
Looking at this highlight package, the Dolphins receivers were wide open on every play except the Berrios reception which was the first play by Tua that I think was a really big boy play where he did the heavy lifting and not his receiver.
 
Running game definitely polar opposite of what is was last year through these first 2 games.
There gotta be a huge investment in OT and WR if we want to win a playoff game at some point in the next years
 
big play from dugar now finish the job D

Any top defense in the league needs to turn the ball over. Pats D was in that conversation... we're waiting.
 
There we go
 

Funny, didn't I say before the Dolphins game that the Patriots offense was gonna lose us games if Mac continued to put up 5.8 YPA? Strange how he only put up 5.3 YPA this game and we're LOSING badly 17-3. Hmm, Guess I was RIGHT after all!!!
 
I've had enough Phins love for a lifetime. Nice sack!
 
Our ball!!!
 
Judon sighting, nice!

Slow Wr’s who can’t get open, meh offensive game plan, terrible offensive line, ZERO weapons on offense, D that isn’t getting turnovers, 3 and outs, short drives or 3rd down stops. But yeah, let’s blame Mac!
