Agreed. It’s frustrating that we can’t seem to pull these games out. But there’s reason for optimism.
The pick 6 on a terrible throw probably neutralizes him to average for the day. Huge swing.
he just made a huge throw on 4th and another of bb’s fantastic wr picks duffed up the play
Who’s ignoring them? I’m not. I still don’t think he has what it takes to be a championship level QB in the league, but I gotta give him credit for playing well after a horrible first quarter.
phew. I was about to respond and realized my
Yes I know you do. That’s why I’m not in these game threads. Mac haters see what they want to.
He throws like late career Peyton without the preternatural anticipation. That being said he made some nice throws today, just not enough of them and Boutte let him down on the last one
This is absurd. I’m not a Mac hater, but he’s easily one of the worst 3-4 QBs in the AFC and at this point he is what he is, I don’t see a ton of room for improvement there.
He was without his best 2 OL and WR1.
Christ almighty, if "he was fine" in a game where he averaged 5.8 yards per attempt and scored 20 points starting at their 40+ yard line repeatedly is being a "Mac hater" I fear you may have developed a parasocial relationship with the kid. Just relax.
Agreed but it’s predictable. This was also the crew that was calling for Zappe when Patricia was commuting malpractice.
A 6th round pick getting open in his rookie year is not a bad pick...god people love to shit on BB for the stupidest things.
In pouring rain.
Hahaha. Ok.Yikes. If you think they lost today because of mac all power to you.
Bourne played well, but no other receiver helped Mac. Juju looked super slow to me as well, everyone was selling his YAC ability at the time of the signing and I felt like he had zero burst and went down at the slightest contact every time he caught the ball.
No moral victories. They had 5 of these games last year. I'm done looking for silver lining. They have to turn these performances into wins or blow it up.
Starting QBs? I think that’s probably about where most NFL experts have it. Somewhere in the 10-12 range in the AFC.
So tell me, what did you think of Jalen Hurts today? Justin Herbert? Mahomes on Thursday? Joe Burrow? DeShaun Watson?
You can argue only IND, HOU, TEN, and PIT (maybe DEN) have worse QBs. I put Mac in the Tua/Jimmy G. tier.
Yup. All over the place, good in coverage, was really encouraged by what I saw from him as well.
The defense essentially gave up 12 points to one of the best offenses in the league and the offense gave up 13 and scored 20. This was a complete fail by the offense. Had the ball multiple times late with a chance to take the lead and never did, which seems to be a staple for the post Brady pats. I cannot put any of what happened today on the defense.
Mahomes
Yet, you're completely ignoring the fact that they could have put up much better numbers if Boutte gets his fucking feet down for over 30 yards of completions, JuJu doesn't drop an easy one, Bourne doesn't drop one on third and 13, and Hunter Henry isn't called for a phantom hold on a 2nd and 9 run that was a first down?
