Game Day Thread Official Preseason Game 3: Patriots at Titans - Game Thread

[ScottishPatriots]

Patriots even manage to make pre season completely unfun and boring, what exactly was the purpose of Zappe playing the whole game?

3 seasons of being .500 and boring to watch, no signs of anything different coming this year other than blind faith.

Nothing worse than being middling and boring when you want to get a game changing player.

I've watched a lot of Patriots football...injuries or no injuries, pre season, regular season, whatever season...I've never seen a Pats offense look this bad...this is bad. there is absolutely nothing to build on, nothing.... if they don't get the full projected starting oline, Mac jones will get killed and they'll be a sub 20 ppg offense

I don't think anything they ran tonight with backups is in any way indicative of their prospects for the actual season.

Hope not, my liver couldn’t take it.

This wasn't their offense though. None of their Week 1 offensive players played tonight.

Almost feel u keep Malik just because zappe isn’t it as a backup.

But it was entertaining ...

if Bill the Coach is treating September like an "extension" of the pre season, they will be 0-4. this team does not have that luxury. They cannot have a third consecutive 1-3 start. no more of this "figuring things out" bullschitt

Stueber put himself squarely in the running for worst OL in the NFL tonight. Sweet baby Jesus, he is terrible.

One more thought - what a really strange preseason...we've barely seen guys playing. Mac got one quarter. Did Marcus Jones even play? Bentley?

I don't know what their joint practices looked like, but is this team remotely ready for an actual game in 16 days?

Hopefully, they've been having great and productive practices, because these preseason games have been absolutely nothing on offense. I can't remember seeing this little...ever.

That broadcast was completely unwatchable. While the football was awful, the telecast (at least the first half) was treated as nothing more than an opportunity for the Titans and the NYFL to bombard the viewers during the game with "opportunities" to buy stuff. New stadium, wine, etc.
I will never in my life watch another second pf ore season football.

Thinking back over the decades....have I ever seen a so-called NFL QB playing for the Pats worse than Zappied? Joe Kapp maybe?

We will find out in 2 weeks.

Feels like a holdover from the Brady years when the offense was consistently good so they could spend more time figuring out the bottom of the roster for a deep run. Not sure how that's supposed to work when the top of the roster is in shambles.

But hey, why not wait until September to start fielding your real offense with half the skill players turned over and a new OC.

Who? Cunningham? He is not a game changing player. I have held off on this because....

1. He went undrafted as a multiple year starter at Louisville

2. The Saturday after he had his 4th quarter "heroics", which in full disclosure I bought into a bit the ACC network (the collegiate conference he played in) replayed the game from last fall of Louisville vs Boston College

And he looked like a poor man's "dual threat QB".

He is nothing special at this moment. He is an athlete with promise. Period.

The negativity on this board sucks and the Binkies almost always make zero sense.

He is NOT a game changing player!

Unless you want to be a loser franchise!

Furthermore, he will be cut and put on the practice squad. He needs a year or two of PS experience in the hope he can develop into something.

NO other team is going to claim him and put him on their 53 man roster.
