Patriots Pregame Thread Week 6 pregame: Pats @ Raiders

[PatsFan2]

So can Boney T Thornton get activated at anytime?? Wouldn't want to reinjure him but I'm sure BB and BOB are Desperate.

I think it's clear Mac will start again. They're brining TT back, and probably activating Boutte. We'll get to see if Mac can utilize the quicker guys and make something happen. If he completely fails again then maybe they plan for a change.
This also depends on what joke of an OL they roll out there.

They have to show they have an answer for Cover 1 which erases the running game and the screen game. So far they don't.

Getting speedy receivers to widen the field might help.

Thornton is not quick he's more fast they better not run him over the middle. Then again Mac is afraid to throw those Helium Balls outside. Boy Boney T is between a rock and a hard place.

They don't have the personnel to deal with Cover 1. You need either WR's who can get separation or a line that can hold off the rush long enough to eventually tire out the secondary from having to tightly cover their man.

We don't have either.

In SB51 the Falcons played amazing Cover 1. But we had guys like Edelman and White getting open occassionally and a line that could keep them honest and they wore down as the game went on and then we could pick that apart and everything opened up.

That's never going to happen when the line breaks down within 2 seconds and they barely have to cover

That records not safe with Mac Jones starting!!

I know we Pats Fans all wish Mac had Jimmy G's ceiling or floor Jimmy knows how to win.

it should be difficult for the Raiders to lose against a team that’s averaging negative points per game lately. One offensive field goal will do it when you’re likely to be running interceptions back.

If this game was at home, McDaniels would be the most liked person in the building Sunday lol

Adam Schefter says to expect some changes to the Pats offense on Sunday.

yes, they're going to run the ball 40x

FYI Nelson Agholor is nowhere near on pace for a career high in receiving yards as stated by the forum idiot.

He also pulled a Nelson Agholor this past Sunday letting a sure td go right through his hands.

I watched Agholor have a pass slip right thru his hands that would have put the Ravens in the red zone, which then Jackson was sacked next play and they punted. Say the pass is completed and they score Ravens go up 17-3 and probably hold on to win that game. So it's the same Agholor that was in NE it seems

Just to lighten the mood.....

Starting Over

 

[condon84]

Uncle Rico could start and our offense would improve.

What to score points this time around?

I think complete a pass

Stevie wonder can run out offense.

He’s not getting a lot of chances though. His catch percentage is 82… not shabby. I’m sure that will go down with more throws in his direction but to say catching 14 out of 17 is not good…is not correct.

Can't wait to read the dissertations from the Mac oppologist after this game. It's the Coaching - OL - RB's and WR's. But it's never Corky.

Jimmy's floor is IR so I wouldn't go that far.

Good luck to them handling Crosby. Dude was a beast on Monday night.

TB12 will probably be in the building and I would imagine cheering against us.

That's just wrong man.
