PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots lose to Raiders 21-17

[Love The Drake]

Aren’t they stuck with their QBs massive contract?

I think I read it was structured in a way they could move on.

 

[State]

I’m not into intentionally losing or tanking, but we need a new/dynamic QB;
1-16 here we come…

How about a RT too? Don’t want to get the guy killed.

Maxx Crosby wishes he could play against Lowe every game.

The thing is the Jets won despite Zach Wilson today. The only thing he had today is not have his typical turnovers and he did that. Not anything more than that though. He was downright mediocre. But that is what happens when you have a running game and an awesome defense.

You say that, but he completed 8-of-12 to Garrett Wilson for 90yds, 5-of-5 to Hall (54yds), 3-of-4 to Conklin (24yds) and passed for nearly 186 yards.

Rushing-wise, Hall only had 39 yards, Gipson had 18. (1 carry). Cook carried three times for 12 yards. So Wilson - as much as it pains me to say it, won throwing the ball, and it's because he's got talent to throw it to.

They had field goal drives of 8 yards, 16 yards, 32 yards, 50 yards, and 51 yards. The TD drive was an one run of 8 yards. The defense won the game. The offense was along for the ride.

The season is over and Mac won't be here next year.

That's all you really need to know.

There's lots more. That's the problem.

Let us say that we ALL agree that Mac will be dumped for anything we can get once the season is over, then what? Does getting rid of Mac make us a contender?

LOL, did you become a Jets fan? While they didn't score touchdowns, they moved the ball. They only punted four times and put together a fair amount of drives on Sunday where sustained drives, kicked field goals, kept the time of possession even, and managed to win the game.

Will Bill?

Lowe would have work really hard to aspire to be as effective as a speed bump.

Right now he’s just a big green arrow pointing towards the QB…

 

[PatsFan2]

Am I the only one who thinks Mac is incredibly fake in press conferences? Like he is saying what he thinks people want him to say.

 

[lancerman]

Sacked after 3 seconds. Pocket collapsed almost immediately and the first guy to get to Jones (about a 10th of a second before the other two guys) was beating his man the whole way

 

[IcyPatriot]

For me ... this season ... our record ...

 

[IcyPatriot]

We are trending towards draft pick 2 - 6 ... some solace.

Yes, plus the other players we'll get in FA and the draft

BB is 0-4 against teams coached by Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia.

 

[upstater1]

The fact that Onwenu was active today but didn’t play tells me he’s probably getting traded. And if he’s getting traded, they’re selling, so they’re probably trading a few guys. And if they’re selling, what does that mean for the franchise long term? Does Bill get the best value knowing he may not be here to use the picks? Is Bill even able to decide who gets traded? What if he wants to trade someone like Bourne but Kraft likes Bourne? Lots of questions.

Onwenu started but got hurt again

 

[Kdo5]

Will Bill?

If it continues on this trajectory Bill is gone and Mac is either gone or a place holder for a rookie QB we draft.

 

[upstater1]

OK. let's presume that we pay $15M for Onwenu. too much? My point is that we will have to pay to re-sign or replace him. As many have said, I think that we expect to forward with an IOL of Strange, Andrews and the 3 rookies, plas the usual 2024 additions.

After this year, no team in the league is paying Onwenu $15m per.

Safeties were also curiously undervalued. So I see Dugger as affordable as well.

Uche is not doing what he did last year (if anything, Jennings is outplaying him).

I don't see a problem with bringing the guys back who we want to bring back.

 

[PatsFan2]

Must already be thinking of Nantucket

Really I hope BB walks away after the Miami or Buffalo massacre. Both QB's have him and his Teams number. BB's personality is like Mac has a QB beaten.

The team is effectively 1-7 and their season is over. Bill's GM powers should be taken away immediately. They have to do this part right where they didn't in 2020. Players like uche, bourne etc. should be moved at the trade deadline. Douglas & boutte should be playing over parker & juju. These moves will help ensure they get a top 5 pick and benefit them longterm. To reiterate two franchise QBs and arguably the best WR prospect since calvin johnson is available in this draft. They can't mess this up.

I hate to be a buzz kill but don't bet on it!
