Game Day Thread 2023 WEEK 4 OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: NE @ DAL

[Jim Beankie]

To me the game officially passed belichick by the last year he had Brady.

Seriously? They won the SB the year before that last year with Brady. Did the game officially pass BB by on a duck boat?

 

[VJCPatriot]

I could have seen Mac Jones struggling with his usual 6.0 YPA. The Cowboys have the #2 pass defense after all. I didn't see this Mac Jones complete MELTDOWN coming n Dallas.

 

[Mack Herron]

Reminds me of Eason with a weaker arm.

 

[doesntmatter1]

Wade and Bryant are our starting cbs. I wanted both guys cut b4 the season started and look where we are now.

also, poor ZEKE.....worst homecoming.

 

[venecol]

Can't wait to read Ken's positive spin on this masterpiece.

 

[Since1960]

Belichick could die of old age before the Pats get another QB like that.

Shula agrees…

 

[Jim Beankie]

Not that it matters but that’s a big stop from Tavai

This is what we've been reduced to.

 

[Jlaff]

When do you think the Official Patriots Store will have the 31 - 3 T-shirts available??

I hope the players don't just give up now knowing "no one else is coming".

 

[FCB02062]

how are those team t shirts working out?

I’d like to see the D keep doing its thing. Secondary is hurt and offense making D look bad, but they’re actually decent.

If by some miracle the offense figures stuff out and we make playoffs the D will be legit

 

[upstater1]

Those guys don't exist, nor are they readily available. Only one did - and he's retired.

I totally agree with this. We need a competent even average QB.

I think people here severely underrate how bad Mac has been because we get a steady dose of watching Zack Wilson or Kenny Pickett.

There are competent QBs in this league who stand in there and work their journeymen roles.

 

[PatsfanTN]

We used to laugh at the Colts and other teams who would make garbage time plays and celebrate like Tavai just did.

garbage time started in the first half. Sadly.

Lmao. Nice avatar.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

We used to laugh at the Colts and other teams who would make garbage time plays and celebrate like Tavai just did.

Least the Colts actually got to the playoffs while doing dumb **** and hanging AFC Championship game banners.

The Colts team we laughed at with Chuckles the clown Pagano and no offensive line would smoke this Patriots team.

 

[Kontradiction]

I’ve changed my mind. Keep BB. Give him another crack at drafting a QB who isn’t a *****. We have an overly emotional **** for a quarterback.

 

[Dingleberry]

Mac sucks today

Today?

 

[Betterthanmost]

BB needs to stay. He needs to draft a QB who isn’t a complete ***** boy. ****y.

I feel BB did not want Mac Jones, he wanted Parsons. At pick number 15, we were almost forced to pick him since we had no better alt to CAM.

 

[Triumph]

I have said from day one that this team needs to show that they are improving on last year and working towards becoming a contender again. I don’t see it. Unless they turn it around, Belichick needs to go. I have no desire to be a mid tier team for the next 3-4 years while Belichick chases Shula’s record.

Sack Jones sucks.

 

[catent]

At the end of the day this whole mess is on Belichick. We can blame individual players and coaches all we want but all roads lead to BB.

Did you understand the team's success through this same lens when they were winning Super Bowls?

I'll go out on a limb and say you did not.

 

[Ian]

The one positive is that games like these to tend to be more of a bad memory than a trend. Sometimes they provide a necessary wake up call that will either spark a change in approach, or a major slide. Let's hope it's the former.
