Agreed. He stood in the pocket more often than I an remember this year too. Sure some of the throws were frustratingly off but can't argue with 2 TD and 0 INT in getting the win.
For some reason, whenever I see the Pats set up to receive an obvious onside kick, I think of Christian Fauria. As with your sense about Henry this year, it seemed that Fauria recovered every onside kick when he was with the Pats. (It's probably just a TE thing, with a guy who A) has good hands and B) has the size to handle getting walloped, but in my head it's only Fauria whom I recall.)
And lost a 3rd in the end. Basically every Jones but the one the fans wanted out of the game.
No he also did that with about half of his completions being absolute shit throws.
He started out 7 of 9, then went 2 of 9, then 11-15, closing it out with the TD to Meyers after the bobbled "could have been" TD to Thornton..
Peppers was a beast this game. Was it out of nowhere or have I just been not paying attention this season?
He's basically Dugger, minus the speed and hands. He's still an exceptional talent, and part of the fantastic safety corps.
You are describing plays that happen to EVERY QB in EVERY game.
Are we giving out games balls on style points now? Mac deserves one today, IMHO.
Today just confirms my wish for Mac to be the QB next year and beyond.
He had a decent game, I guess? But this is a silly argument, he was absolutely killing the team for a large portion of the game. It's not about style points, it's about being able to command the offense. He did that for 2 drives max.
Fire Achord, move Judge to ST, move Patricia somewhere, and hire BOB, and you could convince me this is like a 12 win team next year with the exact same roster
Patricia should have the Ernie Adams role: intellectual, analytical, and strategic, but far from the sidelines where interpersonal issues and timely thinking are required.
