Allen has Diggs and Mahomes has Kelce to make big plays in crucial moments when they gets the ball to them. If Kelce or Diggs was where Agholor was, that's a catch and the game is tied and probably going into overtime.Mac Jones doesn’t have an a ounce of clutch in him. I can’t remember one prime time signature comeback win through 2 years. Crumbles under pressure. Part of that is he can’t extend plays like an Allen or Mahomes. He wasn’t the reason we lost but nothing about him strikes me as special. A serviceable starter.
Can't put this game on Mac. He was arguably the only reason this team was in this game with how many mess ups the special teams and defense had this week.
Again this comes down to that it's 2022 and we still don't have any top end pass catchers that can make plays. Swap out Agholor/Meyers for Jefferson and all of a sudden Cousins is the guy who is having his good passes not come down and Mac looks like a megastar. Team needs to prioritize that. They've avoided it ever since failing with N'Keal Harry and going on the WR carousal of trying to find diamonds in the rough back in 2018-2019.
Am I sold on Mac? No. But unfortunately we will never know because he's not in a good position to succeed. And if you want even more evidence. All year people were wondering why we went away from a quick pass offense with play action. It became even more troublesome when the line started playing poorly. Finally in late November, Patricia starts doing it and Mac has his best game against one of the best teams in the league. Patricia has always been passive, even when he coached the defense nearly a decade ago. Like it shouldn't have taken this long to play to your teams strengths and not go against the tide.
