Week 4--Pats @ Cowboys

[mostman]

Anyone watching this kid try to be an NFL quarterback, with this field awareness, this footwork, and his questionable arm, and saying he’s not the problem is lost. Your QB is supposed to be a leader. He’s not. I don’t mind watching them lose a lot, but it sucks watching your team’s quarterback be a complete loser.

 

[scotian1]

Sadly after the defence made a great three and out stop, the offence has been terrible since.

 

[Mooch]

I’d rather see Zappe at this point.

 

[smokin joe wood]

This will be a deep QB class. They don’t have to completely tank to get a good one.

There are a lot of question marks after Williams and Maye. They won't get to the top 2 or 3.

 

[rodderick]

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.

It's insane how much he throws fading away for a guy with fringe arm talent. He is a guy who needs to be on a solid base all the time, but he's routinely throwing changeups falling off the pass.

 

[genoasalami]

Mac Jones is juuuuuust good enough to make you wait for him to take the extra step ..and before you know it, 5 years have gone by and he still hasn't improved.

 

[Strike4]

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.

Take is hot

 

[Arroyoyo]

Nobody else on the roster is better, so might as well keep playing him.

I bet a Zeke/Rham combo would run a decent wildcat. Get it done BB.

 

[OnWisc]

If we lose to th

Man they're lucky this isn't a home game, crowd would be (rightfully) brutal

It‘ll be a brief respite. They host the Saints next week at Schaefer. At least it’s not a night game.

 

[BusRaker]

Well if anyone can snap defeat from the jaws of victory it is the cowpeople

 

[jezza1918]

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?

I’ll bite. Because ive routinely said I’m not defending mac so much as just saying I don’t think there is a qb who isn’t bound for the hall of fame that would have consistent success with what macs dealt with the last 21 games. Are there qbs that would have more? Sure. But we’d still be complaining that the offense isn’t good enough. and that in the first three games this season there have been issues that are more glaring than mac.
That said, his negative plays today have been extremely bad.

 

[johnmd20]

Bill ain’t catching Shula.

Maybe with another team.

 

[k-factory]

He’s in his own head now, after that missed 4th and 1 run and the fumble.
but wtf BillyO? Why sneak on that 4th down? Throw it or run Zeke.
Just screwed up the rhythm of the offense

 

[johnmd20]

Hospital ball to Jake.

3rd time in 4 games the Patriots have trailed by 14+ in the first half.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Take is hot

Well, they’d be 1-3 with the hardest remaining schedule in football, to be fair.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Crash for Caleb.

They blew their shot at him last week.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Dak almost got that guy killed

 

[GPO Man]

They blew their shot at him last week.

That was a kick in the nuts.

Man. This is a bad team.

 

[scotian1]

We are seeing why Jones dropped in the draft to the Pats. I wonder how thing would have gone if BB was told to take him.

I don’t see 6 wins with their remaining schedule. It’s brutal.

 

[BusRaker]

Nice production work showing zeke of the past and zeke of the future

 

[Nator]

Man, this is depressing.

 

[rodderick]

I don’t see 6 wins with their remaining schedule. It’s brutal.

Pickett is hurt, there's the Jets, they'll beat the Giants, the Raiders. Still don't see them winning fewer than 7 games.

 

[timelysarcasm]

I disagree, but we will see.

 

[OnWisc]

He’s still better than three of the four guys who didn’t drop.

 

[normstalls]

Horrific 4th and 1 play was the game.

So we stick with him until when?

Optimist

Everyone taken ahead of him sans TL has been worse, all the QB's in that draft ended up sucking outside of the #1

 

[The Mort Report]

Even if we get the #1 pick Bill will make our collective brains explode when he trades out for a 2028 1st and 7 4ths

 

[Ed Hillel]

Poor D has to take the field repeatedly playing for nothing but pride.

time Lord was 27th I thought

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

I’m grumpy too. It’s ok.

Point made.

It's just a football game. I have way too much going on in my life to be grumpy over a game

 

[Zedia]

Arguing arguing about who has who is not great.

 

[johnmd20]

Meanwhile Dallas just rolling forward.

 

[patinorange]

He will take a guard.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

Take is hot

Is it?

Look at their schedule and remember they're a bottom 5 offense and have a defense missing their top 4 CBs.

6 wins is probably ambitious.

 

[jezza1918]

So we stick with him until when?

Not sure of a good answer to be honest. I’m fine moving on if there’s been no progress after this season. But I don’t think there’s anyone out there right now to make a move for.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

DBs lost. Too many players down and nobody on the same page.

 

[Harry Hooper]

If I'm the Krafts, I'd be thinking BB is flat out delusional about this team he's built after taking the FG on 4th down.

 

[Nator]

It's starting to feel like the defense knows that the offense already won't come close to digging themselves out of this hole, and they are getting gashed on the ground.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I’m not enjoying it.

I have found a kind of temporary sanity in this.

 

[Beomoose]

Three guys pointing at Ferguson before the snap and nobody covers him

 

[Ed Hillel]

I think that might have been a Pick 6 by Judon if it wasn’t batted down

 

[Ralphwiggum]

This team is not competitive today.

 

[shawnrbu]

Since the start of 2022, this team has 1 win against an actual starting QB (Goff).

 

[Strike4]

Not sure of a good answer to be honest. I’m fine moving on if there’s been no progress after this season. But I don’t think there’s anyone out there right now to make a move for.

It's not a team to make a move for really.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I fuckin hate Myles Bryant so much.
