Kudos to the fans who sat through that debacle in the elements. New Englanders are masochistic, so maybe this is good for us. If you're going to bottom out, go all the way down.

And hey, Josh is available if BOB wants to go take a college job for the bowl game!

Zappe outplayed what we had been getting from Mac, which just shows how freaking awful Mac has been.
Did he?

13-25 (52.0%), 141 yds, 5.6 y/a, 5 sacks - four of which were in huge spots - and the team scored 0 points

All this against one of the objectively worst defenses in the NFL.

I mean maybe it’s still better than Mac, but I dunno man. It’s like asking which form of cancer is better. They all suck and can kill you.

I mostly agree with this. It just shows how bad New England QB play has been. I mean if one of four Chargers catch that horrible pass on the last drive, we are talking about how Zappe was leading a drive to win the game and he turned it over just like Mac.
I get Mac is awful, but that doesn’t mean Zappe isn’t awful also.

This was ideal, Zappe was infinitely more fun to watch than Mac IMO, and highly unlikely to win.
Came here for this.

Zappe made some bad throws but I think he could continue to improve. You can’t blame him for the dropped throws or the times where nobody blocked the incoming defense.

At least I think Zappe can and will improve.

was Mac on the sideline? I didn’t see him.
