Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bills @ Pats

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Since the bye, there's nothing that says that should beat when the Raiders.

Yeah, I'm not optimistic against any match-up going forward. Haven't seen anything inspiring confidence

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

24 through 46 minutes. That was a 96 yard drive.

We give up stuff underneath.

They have Diggs and a few guys on the perimeter. That's it. And the plus of putting someone on McKenzie & the RB is if Allen tries to run, you're already there. Flood that space. Put 2 on Diggs.

Gabe Davis isn't going to hurt you. Khalil Shakir isn't going to hurt you.

They can hurt you enough to beat you. They’re not elite but good enough, picture this Patriots WR corp with a top 3 WR, Meyers and Parker could be good enough to move the ball

No way Mac will ever be in Josh's league, but that does not necessarily imply that Mac is, notwithstanding this, even "good enough." While there is always the caveat that his real merit cannot show itself under the incompetent Fat Matt, I have seen NO evidence for a year or so that Mac is even a notch or two below Josh. Mac seems firmly in the "just good enough to be a respectable loser " category, the sort of drone who can lock a franchise in frustration for years, if you are not decisive enough simply to move on. He's good, and he's obviously s nice enough fella, but is he good enough? So far, I don't see it.

God love, ya, but you still have to find the guy. Like I said, if Mac stays the way he is and Zappe ends up being Taylor Heineke, we're basically right there with what the rest of the league is dealing with.

The playcalling/design is an issue. That overhead, which I'm surprised we were finally shown (terrible production) was a little damning given the situation.

 

[Dingleberry]

Why doesn't BB play Zappe?

Are you implying Zappe would lead the offense to more than 7 points?

 

[203Pat]

Wonder if we get some Zappe mop up time.

 

[festy1986]

They really have Matt Patricia as the offensive coordinator lol.

And the best part is Bill will double down and run it back lol.

 

[n6249c]

I am not liking how Cook keeps getting 5-6 yards on first down.

I’m liking that it’s only 5 to 6 yards.

 

[Rob0729]

That’s an Aaron Rodgers mindset. Take a shot and throw into contested coverage. At this point not much difference between a punt and a pick. Who knows maybe the wr makes a play or we get a DPI.

None of the receivers even looked to be looking back for the ball. What good would throwing down the field if the receivers are covered and not looking back for the ball.

 

[lancerman]

Announcers nailing it. Every level of this offense is just inconsistent. When the line, playcalling and QB are clicking things look good. Tonight one of them is ****ed on most plays.

 

[Kontradiction]

Our last place New England Patriots defense, led by the very qualified-for-the-job Steve Belichick, defensive maven, did their forced a few punts. They should grab a coffee and a smoke and sit the rest of the game out. I don’t want them to hurt themselves.

 

[Triumph]

because Mac is not the issue…it’s the line

He can't make the big time NFL throws.

PERIOD.

 

[festy1986]

Vikings have a really meh defense and one of the worst red zone defenses.

It isn't really fair to compare that game to the Patriots potential as much as it's an indication of where the Vikings are at.

 

[Ian]

Are you implying Zappe would lead the offense to more than 7 points?

You'll probably see him before the night's out at this rate.

 

[Triumph]

Are you implying Zappe would lead the offense to more than 7 points?

I would at least try.

 

[LFGMac10]

No other choice. Nobody was open downfield.

He had a dig route underneath that was closer to the sticks

 

[JR52]

Nice tackle.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Totally cowardly to punt there. BB has no guts, I’m sorry. He is protecting the score to be blown out even worse.

Exactly, its like he’s begging mcdermott to just run the clock out than to actually fight. Shameful

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

None of the receivers even looked to be looking back for the ball. What good would throwing down the field if the receivers are covered and not looking back for the ball.

What good would completing a pass well short of the sticks and punting do at this point?

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I need to fold laundry

 

[Dingleberry]

Forced 3 punts tonight. That has to count for something. Not quite banner worthy, but still...
