Highlights from yesterday's Commander's game ^
The weapons are bad, the blocking is bad, Tyquan is a bust, that's why Mac is bad... okay.
At 00:49 on 4th and 3 Mac overthrows Tyquan wide open on an in/out route... a sure TD with his speed. Watch that again and imagine if Mac throws on time. Tyquan is 6'2," runs a 4.2 forty, has a 38.5" vertical leap and 33 3/8" arms... his arms are ridiculously long, and Mac overthrows him... how? Because the one time Mac should throw a timing lob, he throws a bullet instead, only way off target. But it's not Mac...
At 03:09 on 3rd and 4 Mac forces his fourth attempt on a third or fourth down into Thornton, despite him being pretty well covered. In the meantime, at the sticks Gesicki is wide open for a first down. Next to him Demario is putting a stupid move on his defender if Mac is a little more patient... the payoff was large with maybe one man to beat behind him. Another terrible decision, but it's not Mac...
Here's where our defense forces a fumble near their red-zone, Mac comes out and throws a TD pass to his great TE Henry and we get the perception "Mac did some good things today." He didn't really, the defense did that and gave you a gift.
At 07:02 on 3rd and 10 Mac doesn't recognize overload on the left side of his O-Line where he has Conor McDermott instead of Trent Brown. Two guys flood and overwhelm the LT but no problem, Rhamondre is wide open under the sticks and Hunter Henry has the post route wide open... just make the throw, either throw... nope, Mac takes the sack instead. He fumbles but luckily his ass gets saved by a roughing the passer flag. But it's not Mac...
At 09:49 on 3rd and 3 Mac has Zeke wide open on a quick slant and throws behind him... but it's not Mac...
At 10:30 on 3rd and 6 Mac, in maybe the most egregious miss of the day, has multiple options to miss and does. Rhamondre running a wheel route out of the back field is wide open 20 yards downfield, Mac throws another Mac molasses ball special that takes forever to get there and underthrows Rham by a lot. This play is doubly bad because he also has Juju running free on a drag route route with a blocker in front of him ten yards away. But it's not Mac...
On the final drive Juju makes back to back high degree of difficulty catches because Mac was putting them inches off the ground. Then Mac makes a questionable pass when he clearly doesn't have to on 2nd down and nearing field goal range to a well guarded Juju. There could/should have been a flag as Juju was being tackled well before the ball got there... either way it was an unnecessary risk that didn't need to be taken. The only reason the game was in doubt anyway was all the missed opportunities by Mac Jones earlier in the game, especially on third downs.... but it's not Mac...
In summation, Mac was sacked once because he didn't recognize two defenders overloading his backup tackle on his left side. His rushing game was kicking butt with his RB's average 6.9 yards per carry. His receivers were open all day for the most part, and Mac simply over or under threw them or missed them completely by having tunnel vision. The Pat's defense held the Commander's offense to their third lowest point total of the 2023 season and turned them over twice.
The real problem for the Patriots were the six offensive drives that lasted five plays or less that ended in punts... the highlights don't really showcase those drives.
Mac and the offense were 4-14 on third/fourth down. This against a defense that entering yesterday's games was ranked 29th in points allowed, ranked 29th in passing yards allowed and 32nd, dead last, in passing TD’s allowed. Oh yeah, and who just traded their best pass rushers Montez Sweat and Chase Young earlier in the week…
Again… if you’re defending Mac at this point you’re an idiot.
In summation... Mac sucks.
Stop blaming the O-Line, stop blaming the weapons... it's Mac. Mac sucks royally.
