Excited about Mac. Sucks to lose, but if this ends up our QB for the next 15 years today's a win in the long run. Couldnt have asked for Mac to do better and he already looks like an NFL QB - should only get better. Just sucks that his team blew it with penalties and fumbles. Pretty ironic that an area thought to be one of the big strengths of the team, RB, ended up being our downfall today.
Agholor looks like the real deal, I wasn't that excited about him but looks like a great signing. hopefully the TE's live up eventually - very underwhelming start for them recieving wise. Bourne looks explosive and Jacoby is Jacoby. I think we're OK there but really lack the legit playmaker that this team would need to be a contender. If we lose the turnover battle we are doomed.
Defense wasn't pretty, but they did their job ultimately. 17 points against a good offense, and one possession started in our territory due to a fumble. They were being asked too much at the end after making consecutive big stops to put us in position to win.
Folk was outstanding again , another great sign, the rest of ST's were alright but unspectacular. Could use a KR.
It's a long season, if we're meant to be in the playoffs we will pull it together and get in. 3 of the 6 SB winning teams lost on week 1. Not saying we're super bowl bound but week 1 is very miniscule in the grand scheme.
Mac looked great, hes unflappable. He stands there and just delivers the ball on target and on time. There was a few times i thought i was watching Brady. I think the reffs took 50-60 yards away from him.
The defense needs to get better, and im sure it will, it always gets more in sync after 3-4-5 weeks. But i expected the run defense to be stouter than it was today.
A good deal of the time the offense was out of sync, and sloppy. of course losing brown on the rt side didn't help. BB will have a lot to yell about.
Can't imagine too many poster here will tune in for him...he was one of the most disliked players on the team.....the only players I remember from last year getting more criticism were Harry and Cam.
I think the Coach has a bad taste in his mouth. I would assume him and all the assistant coaches will be up all night looking at the tape. Digest the offense and defense and make the assistant coaches responsible for the mistakes. It's over and we move on. We laid the egg today and no more excuses next game.
Brady is officially dead to me. Mac Jones played that game beautifully. They should have put it on his shoulders at the end there. The game wasn't too big for him overcoming penalties, turnovers, and poor O line play, he was in a position to win.
This is going to be a good season. The Pats are just going to get better. I can't believe how well he played.
Rookie QBs do not play like that in the NFL . Ones that have success like that tend to do it with their feet. Mac played like a vet is supposed to play - it was not fluky or lucky. All these comments that he played “good”. No, for a first game rookie, he was effing amazing!! He was so good, Belichick will probably “Johnny Foxborough” him this week.

I’ll be watching because I’m curious to see how he does with a new team. I didn’t approve of the trade not because Harris fumbled, but because we’ve had injury issues. I hear Harris was gassed.
Hard to watch the game get fumbled away by our backs, especially Damien who had a very good game otherwise. Learning moment I guess.
Mac looked great out there. Big lining. I’m feeling better about our offense (despite 16 points) and worse about the defense. We couldn’t stop them in short yardage and coverage was sometimes spotty.
Can you imagine what would have been said if Bolden would have been given the ball and fumbled down in the red zone.....forget it....Haris is the best rb on the team, one of the best in the league...can't blame the coaches for giving him the ball there.
