Mac Not Happy With the Groceries

[1960Pats]

Agreed . And it's ok.. I'm fine with him walking away. He's definitely the GOAT HC. But it's time the patriots need some fresh new ideas at HC and an modern era GM that's connected with the college ranks and can identify talent correctly. I think BB knows it's time.. he's 72.. go enjoy life, reconcile with Linda and enjoy life on Nantucket. Let the mayo era begin next season.

Maybe Linda can go back to the husband she left when she went with Bill while they were Jets.

The actual best result for the Pats would be for Bill to move to DC and work with his kids while Krafty Bob brings in a new HC, OC and GM. Kraft has always had the golden touch and maybe he can continue that run or pass it on to Jonathan.

Let's not pretend that Gronk was a poster child that off-season. He was almost daring them to ship him out of town, especially with his motocross presser. Eventually cooler heads prevailed, but it wasn't before they called his agent in for a meeting. I am willing to bet there was a lot of behind the scenes BS that went on that wasn't reported.

FWIW, Jake Bequette said Gronk used to go out with his buddies all night drinking and his buddies would drop him off at the stadium like 4 o'clock in the morning. When the trainers came in a few hours later, they would put an IV in Gronk's arm without waking him and he would wake up and go to practice. But Edelman and Patrick Chung did say the story is fake. So who knows?

WHAT? HAVING FUN PLAYING FOOTBALL WHILE DOMINANT AT YOUR POSITION AND BELOVED BY YOUR ENTIRE TEAM?

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO TO DETROIT.

I have a friend that was an EMT here in NH, and he would tell stories of NASCAR drivers who would do similar stuff and then walk in to the medical center to get hooked up with fluids at the crack of dawn and then go out and race, good as new.

I believe it (Bequette story). 100%.

 

[Triumph]

Same tired stuff.

Pittsburgh has 11 take aways this year. The Patriots have two. The Patriots defense has played really well for a lot of the season and the offense has failed them in a lot of cases, but they are not making turnovers and putting the offense in situations for short fields. That is the one area the defense has significantly been lacking this year. But it still doesn't make it their fault that the offense isn't doing anything.

Your nephew has poisoned the whole team.

Its true. BB cant bench Corky because he might climb to the peak of the lighthouse and threaten to jump. So, here we are stuck with your nephew as the starter.

It’s really not hard to believe that Mac is expressing frustration with his receivers to his confidants and saying negative things.

It would be more surprising if he wasn’t. That it got out is a bad look.

Gents, we don't know that anything was actually said to anyone, including by Mac Jones. This is internet journalism culture run wild.

 

[1960Pats]

What a legend.

He had hands like glue, blocked like a steam roller and ran like a Mack truck as he ran over defenders. He was also one of the most fun athletes I can ever remember. He also used to come to the city I lived in and give a football clinic. I never made it but I was told he was great there too.

I hear you but it doesn’t matter. The word got out and it creates distrust between Mac and the locker room. Whether it’s true or not, it creates uncertainty.

Mac should probably try for some damage control and vehemently push back against the notion.

 

[DaBruinz]

MAC needs to shut his mouth. Amongst the PLAYERS, Mac is the biggest reason they have gotten their asses handed to them. This idea that he's trying to do too much doesn't fly with me. He's making stupid f'in decisions and it's costing the team. And he's repeating the stupid decisions. throughout the games.

Claiming that the WRs, RBs, and TEs are the issue is BS.. I've seen them getting open and MAC has been consistently late on his throws. To the point where receivers are having to stop and get clobbered because the throw is behind them. If MAC was actually hitting receivers IN STRIDE with them dropping the ball, that's a different story.

MAC is supposed to be the leader on Offense, but he's not leading.

And he may have already done it. We'll never know, probably. The worst thing to do is to give in to the craven media and fans who would have private team matters become public.

 

[Wozzy]

This is a farce. Deebi, Aiyuk, Kittle, and that RB who might be the best RB in the league. Please stop with the talent doesn’t matter when talking about some of the most talented teams in the league

So why weren't the 49ers winning with Josh Johnson, Trey lance, Nick Mullins, CJ Beathard or Brian Hoyer?

Because "weapons" don't made shtty QB's play better. Period.

They can enhance a capable QB, they can't make bad = good. That's fan fiction nonsense.

Jameis Winston had the greatest collection of weapon in the league in 2019, that didn't prevent him from posting a historic amount of turnovers and losing 9 games.

Who the heck is the guy that drafted such an unstable QB and put him in charge?

And if that guy had inside knowledge about the unstable QB should he have known?

And his arm. What about the QB's arm? It doesn't look like he can hit the broad side of a barn or throw hard enough to break through a wet paper towel. Didn't the guy see that? Many here have.

 

[Wozzy]

They moved on because Jimmy G broke his foot while having a very good season. If he never did we may never have seen Brock Purdy.

You can't ignore that their offensive talent is great. Throw Brock Purdy on this roster.

Is he better than Mac? Probably. But patriots are not turning into the 49ers.

It's not chicken and the egg. QB and "weapons" complement each other.

There's a reason Brady went from 25tds in 2019 to 40 in 2020 with Tampa. He didn't get better in a bubble.

Acting like we have just as good of a roster as the 49ers and are just waiting for a Brock Purdy to unlock them is pure delusion

They stuck with Purdy even though he was coming off a potentially career ending elbow injury... Jimmy being injured is no excuse.

The offensive talent is great, Shanahan is also a genius level coordinator... Mac playing like crap for the 49ers doesn't look any better.

Brady was injured in 2019, early in the season the line was beat up... Jameis Winston led the entire NFL in passing in 2019, he only won seven games that year because he set a historic amount of turnovers.

Never once did I say the Patriots roster is as good or better... I said Mac Jones has sucked terribly and Purdy has been very good.

Mac has sucked... period.

Again, there's no evidence Mac has opened his mouth. There's no quote, no attribution, nothing. This could be nothing more than a media person taking advantage of an upset fan base to generate more negative emotion, which leads to more clicks, which leads to more money for the media person.

 

[1960Pats]

Even if he didn't say anything he's been labeled. The power of the press is a very real thing and it's not limited to sports.

Puzzling

Bama QBs stink too. Saban started Corky Mac over Hurts and Hurts transferred.

Trey Lance started two games in the last two seasons and went 2-2. Johnson had 2 pass attempts last year. Mullens was on the team last 3 years ago. Beathard started 2 games with the Niners after 2018. Hoyer was there back in 2017. Like wtf? This isn't remotely comparable to what the Niners are now.

I've been trying to give the kid some time because he's been in a fractured situation. But it does look like he's not up to snuff.

 

[Wozzy]

I've been trying to give the kid some time because he's been in a fractured situation. But it does look like he's not up to snuff.

I've given him three years.

We've come up with all kinds of excuses and bought him time in the hopes he would develop and improve.

He's not improving, he's actually getting worse.
