Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Vikings (Thanksgiving game)

The most important thing is mac’s last 1.5 quarters he’s looked like 2021 form. If the defense wants to show up they can win this one.

 

[NE_Zealot]

Someone needs to teach Mac to throw it out the back of the EZ instead of wasting TOs

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So glad we just let 20 seconds run off the clock before realizing theres 1:30 left in the half. Nice to be tied and all but thats f***ing frustrating

 

[ahmed]

Why not throw it? Last play was less than 6 secs

 

[A Defiant Goose]

GoOd CoVeRaGe my motha****in pass interfering ass

 

[PaulNEPats]

If that isn’t PI then I don’t know what is

 

[Trolltolls]

Zappe better be making sure Mac's drink stays cold

 

[VJCPatriot]

Alright tied up at halftime. Some missed opportunities by the offense to be sure. Bad clock management at the end.

But it's a tied game and anyone can win it. Half time adjustments are going to be key here.

 

[FCB02062]

stop blaming the refs.....they're never calling that for the road team. another field goal

3 mismanagements of the clock there:

1. BB letting too much time run off
2. Henry not running out of bounds
3. Mac not throwing the ball away

Could've had a TD

 

[TomPatriot]

horrible clock mgmt, starting with Bill..cost them 4 points.

Bill, Henry, Mac. Could have gotten them more.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

horrible clock mgmt, starting with Bill..cost them 4 points.

Put it more on Henry for not getting oob and Mac for at worst not throwing the ball away on that slide.

 

[TheBeers]

We get the ball

 

[RobertWeathers]

couldve taken another shot

No time outs left and a sack leaves you with nothing

 

[Kontradiction]

Why not one more shot to the end zone???

Probably too afraid to take the sack, given the OL’s struggles the last few weeks.

 

[JR52]

2 wasted time outs, 1 time out taken 15 seconds late. I realize these are all anecdotal but together it looks like terrible football.

 

[holyredeemer]

Well, i was wrong. They actually went for it before the half. Can’t blame Matty for Henry getting tackled in bounds and Mac sliding instead of just getting rid of the ball. Maybe you can, idk. Awful awareness. Either way, came away with 3 and entering the half tied. We’ve got some good football here folks!

 

[gtfanboy]

They had time for 1 more play

I agree a quick slant or throw it out of bounds...

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

Our offense hasn't looked this good with Mac since last season!

I wonder what's changed?

 

[Rob0729]

Three huge mistakes in the final two minutes.

• Belichick not calling the time out immediately when the Vikes ran the ball and couldn’t in the end zone.
• Henry not going out of bounds to get an extra yard wasting a time out
• Jones not throwing it away wasting a time out
