Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Cowboys @ Pats

[venecol]

Bill's strategy is obvious. He's waiting for McCarthy to hand him the game. It's working.

Had some life things to take care of today and just now jumping into the game to catch the 2nd half. Saw that the Pats had the lead and looked forward to seeing some positivity on the board for a change. Guess I shouldn't be surprised to see the same complaining about coaching, this, that, and the other when I bet many of the same people would have predicted us to lose by multiple scores.

Take the reins off Mac now. He can handle it and if he doesn’t, he’ll deal with it. Stop being scared

 

[ashley]

Mac can turn the ball over ANYTIME he throws. That doesn't mean we stop throwing. I honestly don't understand your argument.

we're leading the Cowboys at half, a team that nobody thought we could compete with, won't don't you understand about that?

 

[Callmecrazy]

I didn't even expect them to kneel. I went to get a beer came back and was like WTF. With 1:30 left. you need to take couple shots. get into FG range

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Mac is 7 of 7 for 100 yds + TD and we're up 14-10.

Anyway you look at it that's a win.

This is true.

Getting outcoached and outplayed in the trenches. I have no idea how the Pats have the lead? Did Kraft write a bigger check this week than Jones?

This made everybody on the thread stupider for having read it.

 

[eustis22]

Its been a couple-three seasons since BB has been aggressive in the closing 2 minutes. This wasn't a surprise.

> I have no idea how the Pats have the lead?

Well, the cowboys have pissed away three (3) touchdowns, that's how.

The refs are making some calls that if I were a Cowboys fan I will be absolutely livid.

 

[Biffins]

Any GM who might have correctly drafted the Franchise QB is doing a good job.

Ok fair point. Though he was the 4th QB selected so there was some luck involved but we'll take it.

 

[Patriot_fan989]

please stop

**** off b*tch

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I ask you, what if Mac goes back and turns it over again and Dallas goes in and takes the lead....we are leading going into the half and get the ball to start the 3rd

Okay, but do we do this with Brady? Or is it because Mac is a rookie?

 

[Ring 6]

I think the team senses that this is a defining game. If we win this game, we'll finish this season with a winning record.

The team that focusses on one game at a time is thinking like that?

 

[VJCPatriot]

lights out? Dac has 192 yards at the half

I would call a 100% completion percentage on 7/7 passing 100 yards and a TD lights out. I don't blame the fumble on Mac Jones, the OL hung him out to dry on that play. And he would have had 2 TDs at halftime if not for the Ferentz holding penalty.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

The refs are making some calls that if I were a Cowboys fan I will be absolutely livid.

Which call was bad?

 

[ashley]

**** off b*tch

good bye!!

 

[VectorPrime]

we're going into the half with a lead, what don't you like?

We literally booed Brady teams for doing what they just did.

I had the Pats winning this in Alamo, picks contest, and on my bets.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

That's ridiculous.

Are you saying you would like them to try and do something with the 1:32 (which should have been almost 2 minutes) if Cowboys had scored a TD and we were down 3 pts, but because of the fumble and we're up 4pts you like the call that we let the time run out instead of running a 2 minute drill?!?!?

That makes no sense. 4 pts is nothing. We should be trying to score of the possession.

Pats can’t seem to win with people here.

Pregame thread said we were going to get our asses kicked because we barely beat, and didn’t deserve to beat, a terrible Texans team. Didn’t matter how well they played against Tampa the week before.

Now we’re actually winning at halftime against a world class offense, where our OLine gave up a turnover sack 2 possessions ago and then a blocked punt the next possession. Pats decide to shorten the game and limit Dallas offensive opportunities. That’s no good either.

Just can’t win.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

5th qb. And yes absolutely lucky that a few qb needy teams went in other directions.
Just curious about the horrible job bill the GM is doing when we are seeing players (both in the draft and FA) making plays today?

Bad outcomes can happen to anyone at any time.

I want the Pats to learn all about who we have in Mac and not baby him or protect him from a what-could-be….
