It would be less infuriating if they didn’t spend a few minutes a game looking like a competent football team

It’s almost the middle of the second quarter and we have 3 points.

Mac defenders: how many more times do you need to see this?

The Pats with Mac peaked on that 2021 Monday night game against the Bills in bad weather. Ironically, that Mac peak was the game Mac threw the ball like 2 times. It was a sign.

They need to hold to no more than 3 here if the offense is going to keep shitting itself in big spots.
@katnado this is what you responded to. If you thought the poster meant 3 for the entire game, no idea what to tell you. It’s not important anyway, this game is terrible

You need Mac Jones to be Cousins but Cousins has had godly receivers catching his passes. Get better players if you want to be competitive with a sub-Cousins QB.

But also, get a better QB.

I’ve been a Mac defender, but that was weak. Ball out slow, off the back foot, in easy to pick spot.

Cousins was much better in Washington without great receivers than Mac has ever been. People severely understate the gap in production between those players. Cousins is closer to being Joe Burrow than Mac is to him.

So. Look...

I'm cool with losing to the Cowboys. But when I walked into the game, I told myself that the Cowboys are the kind of team to smash shitty teams but average teams can play them tight.

If the Patriots get rolled tonight, this team is done. Like, for the season. I'm not a Doom and gloomer, but this game is a good barometer of just how bad this team is.

So far, they're looking like a 6 win team.

Thats a typical Mac pass. You can complain about the protection all you want, but he had some time, waited, and then tried to fling it off his back foot. I can barely throw a sprial but can tell Mac’s mechanics constantly look like ass.

Another horrific play from Mac. Off the back foot and late.

That one gets forgotten but when you make 5 of those plays a game one of them looks like the scoop and score.

These aren't isolated incidents.

That 2021 QB class was supposed to be like a once in a decade class. Well, in a way, it was…

Gorgeous form again from Mac. If you're throwing a ball to the right you definitely want to have your plant foot aimed to the left.
