Left guard has truly been a revolving door
But we drafted a promising guy who had played it the past three years. Why wasn’t he put there to start?

One of a long line of dang coaching mistakes for the OL group.

I think a line of Anderson-Sow-Andrews-Onwenu-Brown can work. Could have…
 
I don’t want to change things. I want to get a top 5 pick so we can move on. Trying to salvage this season would be the worst thing that could happen to this team.
I don't think they can get the top pick but 2nd would be good. That could put the Pats right between Da Bears and Da Bears. If they could do that while trying to win it would be great. After all...

 
Agreed! He's seeing ghosts now and his head is a mess. Hopefully the damage isn't permanent. Maybe he catches a few breaks, gets hit confidence back, and resets. It's our only realistic hope this year, and it's not that far-fetched. He was doing okay the first few games and then he collapsed really fast. Maybe he can bounce back really fast?
As long as he's having fun Mac will play well. Maybe Bill can promise to take him to Dairy Queen for a soft serve if they win.
 
BB is 0-2 against McDaniels and that annoys me.

I hope Meyers doesn’t make this a statement game. I get why we wanted a YAC guy but obviously that move is a blunder now. Mac misses his binky.

Raiders are also struggling on offense like the Pats. JG’s TD/INT is underwater. Can’t run can’t stop the run. Guess we’ll see what they look like tonight against GB.

BB without Brady has been Cleveland Belichick. I heard an astonishing stat - BB is 80-91 overall without Brady. And that stat includes the season they lost Brady for the year due to injury and went 11-5.

There has been no indication that BB or Mac Jones can pull this team out of the tailspin. I'm gonna have to go with Raiders over Pats in this one. McDaniels knows us too well.

Jimmy G outdueling Mac Jones? Who would have guessed it just a year ago. Well this shell-shocked version of Jones who wets the bed at the merest hint of a pass rush, I can predict more 'deer in headlights' looks from our Mac 10!

Jakobi Meyers will also be looking for some payback. I have a feeling this 'revenge' game won't go well for us.

BB can promise Mac a free trip to Kraft's favorite massage parlor and I don't think that will help!

The whole issue appears to be confidence and lack of mental toughness at the moment.

You shouldn't need any additional motivation if you want to hang onto your job and be the #1 QB.
 
Fun fact - the Patriots have gone 34 straight drives without scoring a touchdown.
Aren't we so glad that BB is so bad at picking WRs and spent ALL our top picks on defense instead of offense in the last draft?

Oh and 5th most cap space going into free agency? Well we definitely wouldn't want to ink a premium playmaker or OL now would we? Good thing BB didn't do that!

BB is just zigging to Defense when the rest of the NFL is zagging to Offense! What a big-brain 3D chess move!!!

I remember commenting at one time that either Jones or Zappe needed to become a pro QB or the Pats would be screwed. It looks like they're screwed.

The whole media and fan lynching of BB is kinda sad. Every coach needs a QB. Walsh was 2-14 before montana. knoll didnt do much without a hof QB either. BB didnt have QBs like brady until he got one and he won for 20 yrs. Its always the players and BB himself said it so many times. just because he isnt warm anf fuzzy like other coaches, this never comes out.
 
Left guard has truly been a revolving door

We drafted a Left Guard in the 4th round, our starting LG is injured/sucks, our 5th rounder was tried there last week also sucked... I think it's time for the 4th-rounder to be given a chance now.

Read the same thing about the the Saints Pregame also how did that turn out??
 
Crosby is going to be a problem
Chipp him on every play with the RB's or TE's wear him down. Don't let him go solo on your Offensive Tackles it's that easy.
 
Is there Any way we can get out of Any part of broken-down has-been Reilly Reiffer's contract? I mean this is ****ing un-****ing-believable.
It's cheaper to keep him than cut him at this point. He's not making much, and it's only a 1 year deal anyway.
