Here come Mayes garbage time stats

I knew some dingbat would ***** about this. Damned if he does and damned if he doesnt

Maye is truly awful

Here come Mayes garbage time stats

Yep. He was doing this last year and people wanted to ignore it. When the game mattered, he struggled with 233 yards. That's pretty bad.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Mayo had a much better debut.

LMFAO

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Drake with his signature move hold onto the ball and try and throw while being tackled

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

Worked pretty well with Tommy. Maybe Maye sucks, or Maybe he's dumb or not ready for it.
He did a lot of this dumb **** last year.
I think Josh took a few years to become good.
I can hope, but I admit, I'm not expecting it.

brady covered him
look at the mcdaniels offenses without brady

 

[PatriotSpy]

Still think we needed an offensive minded HC. McDaniels rode the coattails of tom Brady. This team is stuck on an in house mindset.

Happened last year too. Doing nothing when the game matter and put 2 drives together down 3 scores when the game is out of reach. Today when we needed him to put the game away at the beginning of the 2nd and he turned into a pumpkin

People talk about the commanders turn around last season. They had way more talent than we do right now. Also brought in a good offensive mind. The Pats only recently are getting the enema they need on the roster.

 

[Thunderhead]

I was expecting 6-7 wins, but hoped the team would be watchable. They didn't come close to clearing that low bar today.

 

[ralmat55]

I would take Smith over him in a heartbeat

I wonder it you would take Geno Smith starting the 1st game of his 2nd season to Maye? I remember that Geno Smith. You wouldn’t. Patience!

Some thoughts:

- I'm thinking Gonzo might be the most important player on this team. I called it when we were in preseason: coverage looked much better than it was because of bad play by receivers on the other team. Gonzo will slide everyone down and let people hang where they feel more comfortable. This will let the DL not have to be the playmaker every single down.

- Maye's decision making is rough, but when he's on, he shows a decent ceiling. We gotta get that floor up. Stop with the ****ing stupid accuracy issues.

- OL played better today than it has in a long, long time. Doesn't mean it was great, but it was serviceable. Run blocking could improve.

- Diggs doesn't seem to be back to speed, imo.

- Defense was wayyyyyyy too up and down. If you're gonna be aggressive, then you gotta be like Flores and be extremely creative. Otherwise, find discipline and leverage that for more interior pressure and use that to develop sack opportunities.

Also a much better QB. Let's be honest.

The media said this exactly not too long ago. They thought Maye comes across as an idiot.

Would you rather them just run the ball and the clock out anytime the game is out of hand? What are you guys complaining about here

 

[Ununcle]

I agree. Whats he supposed to do? spike the ball?

 

[Fubby]

Is Maye really a mobile quarterback?

I hate to say it. Because he is talented and a great CB.

But I get "injury prone" vibes off him.

They have not used his mobility at all, feels like a mistake.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

I think theyre supposed to quit anytime the chances of winning are below 10. That would make everyone feel better
