Game Day Thread 2025 OFFICIAL GAME GAME THREAD: PS Game 2 - NE tops Minn 20-12

[rochrist]

He got Williams almost killed. He hasn't shown me anything to think he couldn't be replaced tomorrow and nobody would know the difference.

11/16 1TD 0 INt 0 sacks 106 yds 107.8

Woollridge 7/13 46 yds 77.1

Dobbs is going nowhere. They aren't going to entrust the primary backup role to a UDFA.

 

[ViperGTS]

Duggar ain't making the team after that.

 

[Schmo]

Dugger out there for the last play of the game. Not a good sign.

 

[rochrist]

no, an emergency backup is worth a #6 WR roster spot in this passing league.

I would guess that we will have four active WR's and 2-3 active TE's. Perhaps folks see Chism as replacing Boutte on the active roster. I don't. He is NOT replacing our starters.

This will be a hot take, but I think he's better than Douglas NOW.

Agreed. He knows McD’s system and can help teach it. I probably would have preferred Brisket, but they burned that bridge.

Numbers don't tell the story. Chism did most of that for Dobbs. I go by the eye test and he sucks. Plain and simple.

If you can't afford to pay NFL+ $7 for all the pre-season games, then you can't afford $7.

.

That gave me good laugh.

It’s the principle of it.

My coffee this morning was $6.89

Something about paying $ for preseason rubs me wrong

Whatever. He'll be on the roster.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Duggar ain't making the team after that.

No situational awareness, he’s supposed to be a team leader and know better than that.

Dobbs was playing with Wes Welker. That bailed him out. Dobbs his horrible. He almost got multiple receiver killed.

Vikings announcers were praying for the Patriots receiver when Dobbs was playing.

Holy crap.

Bonehead play. Nothing to be gained by not going right down after the int.

Winner winner.

You serious? Please tell me you didn't buy into that BS media narrative? I agree Dobbs sucks, and he needs to go. Woolridge is seemingly capable as a backup from what I have seen.

So, you think that with $60M is open cap money, Dobbs was the very best choice as a backup QB? SF fans and boards believe that their two backups are both better than Dobbs.
====
You and I disagree. I think that it bothered Maye that Milton was drafted last year. And, yes, I think he was bothered by all the talk of Milton being a good backup, and even more bothered that Milton might be as good as he was in the future.

I do indeed think that a better backup or even a 7th round draftee would have been a distraction to Maye, and the media. Milton staying would also been a distraction for some fans.
======
LET'S BE CLEAR
Vrabel did the right thing in not using more resources on better backup QB's.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Holy crap.

Daughter has a thing for Starbucks. Not my jam but what’s a dad to do when baby girl is involved.

 

[manxman2601]

I think that’s a pretty good sign for Chism.



Also, do we have a nickname for him yet? That surname has to be a good start.

 

[manxman2601]

I thought that the "hot woman" was a Strumpet

That's a woman of ill-repute.

 

[Huckleberry1]

His TD catch was a real pro catch and run. Also broke tackles to get a 1st down on 3rd and long, after getting hit well short.

He’s going to be their next Edelman, and it’s going to give Maye a safety valve anytime he’s facing intense pressure.

 

[manxman2601]

I didn't see any injuries reported. Were there any?

Vrabel said he'd have an update on Kyle Williams tomorrow.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Fair.
Also he caught the ball despite Dobbs trying to hospitalize him. Can we be done with the 'he can't catch' ******** now?

He definitely looked the part today prior to the injury, was good to see.
