2022 Season Opener-Patriots at Dolphins

[Ferm Sheller]

Imagine what one of the top teams would have done against them today. It's one thing to look below-average against Buffalo or Cincy, but Miami? Ugh!

 

[A Bad Man]

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Hardly any playmakers on either side of the ball. Was under the impression that having a decent enough QB on a rookie contact would allow the team to spend on talent elsewhere….but you look at this roster and where they are spending money and it’s pretty ugly.

add in some bizarre drafts and organizational hires and here we are.

The door has been opened for Jimmy G’s return!

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Well, that might be a reason to panic.

Or a blessing in disguise

Kendrick Bourne, who didn’t play until late in the fourth quarter, said he’s disappointed in himself and needs to practice better to show the coaches they can trust him.

Line them up for first overall in the draft next year? Because that’s probably where they’re going with Brian Hoyer as the QB.

Correct. Or see what they have in Zappe

This is pretty spot on for me. I am hopeful the Pats have an entertaining year with more progress from Mac. Then I hope they nail the draft and spend some money on some playmakers.

What could they possibly be talking about?

I mean Zappe is a good story and has a huge following from his play in college. But please correct if I am wrong, but I thought his arm was even weaker than Mac's coming out of the draft. Here is just one report basically saying that.
We will see.

Bill after the game (still with pencil behind the ear): Not enough good things to win, couple of bad plays really hurt us. Bill 'I haven’t been in the training room' when asked about Mac's possible injury.

Why didn’t Kendrick Bourne get in the game until late? Belichick: “It just worked out that way.” Said it wasn’t disciplinary.

 

[Rook05]

At least there will be four AFC teams with ties on their records….

Too soon?


Yes, Steelers win.

 

[ifmanis5]

Mac did not do his postgame presser, reason was back injury.

[Mooch]

If Mac is hurt for any amount of time, we might be playing for the first overall pick.

 

[A Bad Man]

And that is how the story of the greatest quarterback of all time, Bailey Zappe, began

I think we were anyway. Not enough talent on the team and Mac isn't a difference maker yet.

 

[Ale Xander]

I long for the Hugh Millen/Tommy Hodgson days!

There is no way some of you watched the preseason. I thought he looked awful, which is fine for a rookie, but there is no way you want that guy in real NFL games with a crap line

They will rename it the Hall of Zappe

 

[Gash Prex]

Despite the immortal Matt Cassel, this was not on the QB - Pats had the numbers at the line to block it

Better call Jake from State Farm.

 

[mulluysavage]

But will Kraft do what Jerry Jones did?

They hate their coach. Kraft sees this and will take action.
