Huge mistake to rush Mac back for this winnable game. This will seriously backfire if he has another turnover laden game and the Pats lose a close 18-16 defensive snoozefest.

They ain't beating the new improved Jets on the road no matter who starts.

So let's start the healthy QB here on Monday.

Give me a break. They have a good shot to best them on the road. Why? The main reason starts with a Z and ends with ach Wilson.

If his ankle is healthy I hope his eyes have healed too. He needs his eyes to see the wide open tight ends he couldn't see thru the first few weeks of the season.

Hoping for another week of Zappe.

You're sort of assuming starting Mac will backfire automatically and inevitably.

Have not been impressed. I will hope for the best. Too many excuses for the guy imo. Hasn't played well since last season. When/if he returns I will root for him/the team.

In the states we sometimes say "dumber than a bag of blonds holding broken hammers"...

I hear they're still doing it. The laws of nature still have the audacity to deflate balls as the temperature drops. The nerve of them. You'd think they'd stop after they got caught.

@patfanken , @BaconGrundleCandy : Would love to hear your take on this footwork..

Hard to see well and what the purpose of the drill was. Clearly there was a coach (I wonder who) who there to try and distract hm. He's moving better than I expected him to look. I didn't expect much when I didn't see him bowl at the McCourty charity thing. So was looking lighter on his feet and if all I saw was this clip I would say he's good to go.

But here's the thing. We saw him for 10 seconds early in the practice when they are doing individual drills. What we DIDN'T see was how he looked at the end of the practice. High ankle sprains usually get worse the long you are feet are working. They don't get loose like low ankle sprains That's why I am hoping that they aren't getting him in there too soon. If he plays then I'm betting he's fully healthy, it wouldn't make sense to play him otherwise.

BTW- The Pats SHOULD win this game with either Mac or Zappe. The Bears running game is 2nd best in the league, and their defense is a step up from the Lions and Browns, but OUR D is better than theirs and they are last in scoring and passing. I don't see them getting more than 17 points.

But the Jets and Colts (the next 3 games) are both much than the Lions Browns and Bear. A big step up in class. So having Mac with a game under his belt will make us better prepared as we move up from the dregs to the middle weights, before we THEN have to play some of the Heavyweights. 3-1 over the next 4 games is essential.

Really?!? Half the board is arguing that Belichick will go with Zappe because Belichick benched Bledsoe after he came back from injury despite giving him an $100 million contract prior to the season to play a second year sixth round pick who was winning games. You are arguing that Belichick feels Zappe is better than Mac, but will pay Mac because he is a first round pick because Belichick kept Harry for three years (he was traded before his fourth year)?!? You Zappe supporters need to get your arguments straight.

Belichick has shown in the past he will play the players he feels are the best players. He got rid of the first pick in the second round after two seasons (Ras I Dowling). Cyrus Jones was a second round pick who only played a little over two seasons with the Pats (granted he was injured his second season). He let go of Chad Jackson after two years. First rounder, Domique Easly was gone after two years.

If he goes with Jones over Zappe, it is because he feels that Jones is the better QB plain and simple. Not because he drafted Jones in the first round.

So you believe Bill doesn't have favorite players. Lmao

Tell us you scored low on the Wunderlic without saying you scored low on the Wunderlic.

Also, another opportunity to appreciate how fortunate Pats fans are to have the drunken midget as the person who directed Myra Kraft's father's money into ownership of this team.

Never forget how lucky you are. Let's support him in his latest mission to keep Goodell's salary as high as possible. Always doing the right thing that perverted dwarf of ours.

No one is keeping you here. There isn't a gun to your head saying you have to continue supporting this team.

No. That implies there is a lower level than Jete fan.

So which is it? The coaching staff is annoyed with Mac Jones' attitude or Belichick is going to bench the superior Zappe for Mac Jones because Belichick likes him better. You pro-Zappe crowd sure have a twisted logic.
