That's not a lot of time to "throw it away" guys were beat instantly
...and to complicate matters we don't exactly have a lot of receivers who can beat MtM coverage.

Zappe played bad vs the Bears.I highly doubt that will happen. Unless Mac Jones looks horrible and throws multiple picks. Zappe turned back into a pumpkin against the bears. He would've been destroyed by this jets DL.
I'm still laughing about the zappe posters trying to say a game where the QB only has 4 incompletions is somehow a bad game. If that game was bad. What was josh Allen against the jets?
Still pining over zappes two wins over garbage defensive teams. Ignoring the losses to the bears/green bay(which doesn't look as impressive in hindsight)
This is a weird compliment too, but I'll take the sacks rather than him getting careless and throwing it into an interception.I agree not every sack he took was avoidable due to the Oline
There just wasn't anywhere to go, imho. Even the 1 play where I originally thought he could've stepped up, it would've bought him very little extra time with yet another guy closing in to that space. Man, that 1st sack (1st play) was ~2.25s, and it wasn't even a second until he saw he was in trouble. That's way too early for Hershey squirts.
Brady was a master at throwing the ball away and not losing valuable yardage with the sack. Mac needs to learn when to throw it away so he isn't losing yards.This is a weird compliment too, but I'll take the sacks rather than him getting careless and throwing it into an interception.
Agreed, but he's gotten called for throwing it away a number of times by the ref recently, so I get the sense he's overthinking even throwing it away.Brady was a master at throwing the ball away and not losing valuable yardage with the sack.

Yesterday made it pretty obvious it was play calling and OL that were the problems. I'm not saying Mac can't be better because he certainly can, but I don't think he was the problem yesterday.I've lost a lot of confidence in Mac this year, but yesterday's game was one of his best of the season and I really think the blame lies mostly on the OL. If he can play like that against a worse defense/defensive line, or if our OL somehow gets it together, there will be TD passes.
Yeah...could beAgreed, but he's gotten called for throwing it away a number of times by the ref recently, so I get the sense he's overthinking even throwing it away.
3 seconds is not a lot...he should roll out and buy more time when he is aware of that kind of pressure. Then he might have more time to make a completion or throw the ball away. The issue is he is not anticipating the pressure and then not moving to avoid the sack quickly enough.

Mac would have had more success if their was a 6th OT all game...or even 2 RB's.problem is it isn't just "pressure", where one can read the D line and proactively react.....he's dealing with complete breakdown up front.....tackles getting just obliterated into his feet, complete missed line calls/blocking assignments......it's reasonable to expect him to react better to 'normal' pressure.....make his pre snap reads, adjust to/feel pressure.......but a lot of what he is getting is just a complete protection breakdown, and it's hard for anyone to deal with that

I've asked the Mac haters, who could come into this organization, under the demands, the pressure, the day to day grind and handle what the patriots ask of thier player's especially qb , and endure everything Mac has had to.. let that sink in.. not every coaching decision works out, and we can accept that.. bb has succeeded more than not.. but the kid hasn't been put in the best position to succeed.. we actually looked better on offense earlier in the season.. I thought coaching was all about adjusting..I highly doubt that will happen. Unless Mac Jones looks horrible and throws multiple picks. Zappe turned back into a pumpkin against the bears.

a consistent o-line would be nice, even IF it was some of the castoffs they have playing.......have they started the same O-line multiple weeks in a row yet?
Feels like they haven't done that since 2018, honestly. Some of it is their fault, some is just some really rotten injury luck.
