A staff infection?

You mean " staff" infection is more likely...

$25.00 to see first round pick and future NFL legend Mac Jones LIVE in person! Who's in??

 

[Real fan 02]

And people filing out of the Stadium in droves its going to be very cold. No way in hell I'm being loyal to a Offense that can't move the Football.

Absolutely, in seasons past that would have been an afterthought. I'll bet you ownership has already made up thier mind on what they're looking to see for next season..

A staff infection?

Yes, it was a double entendre. Or at least it was intended to be.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Another loss unless the Bengals beat themselves, this team just can't score.

Some frustrating type game like 23-13 where it's clearly winnable until they get put away in the 4th Q because the offense just can't score.

 

[TomPatriot]

Never buying in on the offensive change, led to the problems that snowballed to what we see now offensively. I believe we all can agree the problems are 90% on offense.

Special teams too.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

That seems like a shot at Zappe as well.

What's happening with this team? They seemed fine last year.

STD infection running rampant in the locker room resulting in lots of divisive finger pointing & with other appendage?

Even when defense picks off Joe BRADY, to put the offense at the 2, a holding call, false start, or TO called by the hall of fame head coach puts them all the way back at the formidable 10 yard line... nick folk time then...

Were they? They had a 7-0 run against a bunch of banged up teams and bad quarterbacks. Capped off with the wind storm victory in Buffalo. They were a combined 3-8 at the beginning and ending of the season. The 3 wins were against the Jets, Texans and Jaguars who were a combined 11-41 on the season. This season they don't have a win over a team with a winning record. They're 0-4 against teams with a winning record. The Bengals are the hottest team in the league, the Dolphins will still have a winning record even if they lose their 4th straight, and the Bills are unbeatable for the Patriots at this point. That's a big lump of coal.

Looking at the lineups (assuming both CB Jones' play), this should be more competitive than many believe.

Tickets sold for pennies on the dollar. Thanks to the Mac Jone's fan who bought them. I hope he brings joy on Christmas Eve.

Can’t believe that Mac has a higher percentage of big time throws than Burrow. I guess I don’t remember the big time throws because of all the mistakes he has made.

 

[Patsfan177a]

was on a trainwreck of a team

sounds like Mac's situation. Offensively at least. Can't even call audibles a lot of the time because MP can't get the plays in properly.

Yeah, poor guy has it awful.

HOF HC, top 5 defense, great run game, 2 good TEs, good WRs.

People sense a brutal beatdown coming. Could be another no forced punts game for the pats. So they stay home. Humiliating watching them.

I will be thrilled if the pats can forced even 1 punt.

Same exact post 3 hours apart from each other. Remove this dementia ridden jest troll from the board.

Being the fair person you obviously are, I noticed your mention of the OL, QB coach, plays where WRs run parallel routes, etc. Oh wait...

Burrow has thrown it 512 times. McCorkle has thrown it 336 times. Really shouldn't go off percentage when the difference is that vast. In fact Burrow has more completions this year than McCorkle has attempts.
