Bedard: Mac running out of gas?

[long distance]

To be fair he was benched .. and he does look gassed

 

[reflexblue]

I disagree. Gas= hot air

Hot air Is gas. Its hot nitrogen, oxygen, and a few other inert gases. You probably knew somebody would post what i did before you hit post

I think Bedard has a lot of methane as well

I hope he doesn't smoke

I think Max Kellerman is waiting for Bedard at the bar.

Better chance at finding him at the buffet line

 

[cmasspatsfan]

I think Bedard is running out of gas

Bedard is usually full of gas

Bedard is usually full of gas

I bet he farts less in cold air.

Hold on I remember this from deflategate... doesnt it depend on deadline pressure?

Like I posted days ago in this thread...Betard is an expert in flavored donuts. THAT IS IT. Fingernails on glass are the tandem of Mutt and Betard....but still 2nd place to Felcher and Squeaky, whom I cannot wait to catch tomorrow afternoon.

Bedard used to be decent when he stuck to just the football aspect. Somehow during and after deflategate he started going after cheezy storylines while going all Marc Brunnell on the Patriots. I think most fans of the Patriots are tired of the false drama the media tries to spin in there. I think we have been Belichickianed into “it is what it is” mode and we’re a lot better for it.

I award this thread: LAST PLACE!

Guess what Mac found, Bedard?

 

[Fubby]

Big Sac Mac

Narrator: Mac Jones, in fact, drives an EV

This is nonsense. You might try subscribing to BSJ for a while and see what he actually does during football season.

Excerpt from BSJ:

FOXBOROUGH — For every NFL rookie who is counted on to be a big-time contributor by their team, there comes a point of no return in that campaign.

If you've had enough reps, you either stay a rookie for the rest of the season, or you graduate to being a legit NFL player.

You've played enough games. Seen enough things. Faced enough adversity. Sure, there are still many new things you will encounter, but largely you've seen enough.

It's put up or shut up time.

For Patriots QB Mac Jones, Sunday's 45-7 blistering of the Browns was graduation day.

He's no longer rookie QB Mac Jones. He's just Patriots QB Mac Jones.

A lot of lesser players might have turtled on that big stage. In the previous three games, Jones' play had slipped, and he and Josh McDaniels all but admitted as much. Jones was a sidecar in each of the previous three victories, either to the defense, running game or both. Just a week ago, Jones had a strip sack and interception in his own end that, if the defense didn't bail him and the offense out by holding the Panthers to field goals, very well might have cost the team the game.

"Part of it is just the inexperience, but there is no excuse for that," Jones said after beating the Panthers. "I have been here for quite a while now and I can figure out the looks that I am not used to seeing, and just go from there. ... I had two turnovers today so that is not good enough. I will look at it and see what I can do better."

Jones — and likely McDaniels — came out on Sunday against the Browns with a renewed purpose. He might have heard the legitimate whispers about a rookie wall, perhaps internally, and been challenged. Sunday was his 13th game with the Patriots, which matched his total last year at Alabama, and Sunday he surpassed the mark for the most dropbacks he's ever taken in one season.

More likely it was Jones just being ticked off about his own play. He's no dummy. He knows he was not good enough even though the team was winning. Jones likely knew that to beat a team as talented as Cleveland, a team that should be in the AFC playoff race, he was going to have to do his part. This wasn't the Jets, Chargers or Panthers — three teams that haven't sniffed the playoffs in years and are still breaking in neophyte coaches and/or quarterbacks.

This was the Browns, who were 11-5 a year ago, won a playoff game and nearly upset the AFC Champion Chiefs on their own field.

This was a real-deal challenge. The Patriots needed a QB on Sunday. They didn't need a wallflower.

They got a lion.

A much more composed and slowed-down Jones played the best game of his career to this point and was basically flawless. Jones completed 19 of 23 passes for 198 yards and a career-best three touchdowns for a 142.1 passer rating.

This take didn't age well.

Bedard looks ridiculous with this article. Can't just admit he was DEAD wrong. Has to rehash the last TWO games like there was something there that would suggest Mac would fall off a cliff. What a joke. This is why people can't stand the media in this town. Never able to admit they were totally wrong and got totally exposed with a jump the gun take.
