Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Colts

[upstater1]

One big worry I have is that the Patriots have been flat coming out of the bye for the last 2 years.

2020: Loss 18-12 Broncos
2021: Loss 27-17 Colts

I hope they turn it around

Mac seems broken and is not seeing the field like he did last year, literally trying to win games without a quarterback right now

Mac's QB rating was 80 against the Jets and 89 against the Colts. No stupid floating interceptions today. Not great but he is not broken. Learning to challenge all three areas of the field, it takes time. We are winning with a QB that is growing and learning. Your post is foolish.

The design is just as baffling.

Example: the only time you run play action is with either a bubble or TE screen? The entire purpose of play action is to freeze the LBs close to the line of scrimmage to be able to throw the ball beyond them NOT in front of them????????

I'm coming around regarding the "learning on the job" for the new OC being an error.

He must be spending all his time coaching the 0-line to be the fine tuned machine it has become

Doug Flutie, Russell Wilson, Tua, Kyler Murray

Flutie and Murray both are very average to below average, you want them as your QB? Wilson was only good for a short period when he ran around - the Seahawks traded him because he is washed. You just proved the point. 6' tall QBs very very rarely turn out to be good.

Did you black out for the Cam Newton season?

Nope !

I’m not discounting that Judon is amazing, but our CBs look great (Bryant the exception) and the D line with Guy back in there did really well. The people who knock this D are usually the people who aren’t actually watching.

Sorry, what? Mac has been inconsistent and has started slow af his last 3 games. Opposing defenses have a bead on him and he's not adjusting. If the Colts offense wasn't so anemic, this would have been a much different game.

They were run blitzing all first down. Mac didn't change the play to take advantage

Seriously, this blame Mac Jones for everything wrong with the offense thing is a little sad. Why not blame him for Meyers not holding onto the ball too.

My recollection is that at one point they did play action on first down, faking the run and made the Colts pay for the run blitzing.

I was at yhe game and Uche is a so fast in person, its shocking.

Mac is holding the ball too long, he needs to throw it. He has time, but his clock is all messed up.

 

[Nunchucks]

Where is the play action deep pass to Thorton. They are not using his speed

Drew Brees says Hi

Zappe is. It the next drew brees lol

2020: Loss 18-12 Broncos

This one shouldn't even be considered. The team got almost no practice for 2 weeks leading up to that

 

[bresna]

Because it keeps the Jets ahead for the wild card

Not when the Patriots beat them again in 2 weeks.

Wilson played 10 years with Seattle, threw for 292 TDs and only 87 ints, and has a career rating of 100.9. He sure sucked.

I bet the other one was the Jacoby Brisset game where he played with a broken thumb. Doubt it was a TB game.

I've been watching Tom Brady (in a struggling performance) against the Rams. I'd say the chances of Mac ever becoming anything remotely like Tom, at whaever age, are rock solid, stonecold Zero. They're in the same league but - you know - they're not at all in the same league.

 

[BennyBledsoe]

Nobody's ever been in the same league as Brady. Producing even at the level he is now at his age has NEVER been done before.

If your standard is the next GOAT, you should probably stop watching football.
