Game Day Thread 2023 WEEK 4 OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: NE @ DAL

[UGAPatsfan]

Parker wide open but Mac panics, throws off back foot 7 yards over his head.

 

[borisman]

Caleb Williams and all but Drake Maye doesn’t get enough recognition. We won’t be picking first so trade up for Drake or pick Brady later in draft, Brady Cook that is. Yes I think he can play….better than Mac anyways (not a big accomplishment at this point)

 

[reflexblue]

I have said from day one that this team needs to show that they are improving on last year and working towards becoming a contender again. I don’t see it. Unless they turn it around, Belichick needs to go. I have no desire to be a mid tier team for the next 3-4 years while Belichick chases Shula’s record.

After last years complete debacle i figured that this would be the year to decide about BBs future. If they did well and improved won 10 12 games then then continue on improving. But its getting obvious that nothing has really changed over the last couple of years of medicre football. But i still think its BB the GM thats killing BB the coach.

MÏŠŠ MĒ ¥ĒT?

Cam would've looked better today, not even kidding.

 

[Thelonious]

Can’t say Parker wasn’t open there.

That would be the first time I'd say Parker was open.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Can’t say Parker wasn’t open there.

Greg Olsen is basically saying Mac sucks - not the 1st time Parker's been wide open and Mac didn't see him. (And I say this as someone who really hated the Parker extension.)

 

[NE_Zealot]

No more screwing around, bench this scrub NOW

 

[PatsfanTN]

While we’re firing people, can we fire Cam Achord too?

 

[Betterthanmost]

Mac looks like he's given up.

This is not really my worry, I think the rest of the team have given up and though they sing his praises, I don't think they believe in him.

 

[dannydyn]

They've been drafting fine as of late.

The issue is that their QB is poor, their OL isn't much better, and I feel like the team doesn't look as if they're all pulling in the same direction with a collective/shared identity (which may speak to cultural issues).

They've acquired some real talent in recent drafts; that's not the issue.

Sure, starting with the great qb we drafted…

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Too bad they don’t suck enough to be in the Caleb Williams lottery.

Rather have Sanders. I don’t trust USC QB’s

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Today is finally the day where Patriots nation can all say Kumbaya and come together and admit Mac Jones is not the guy and we need to draft a quarterback, surely the split between the Anti Mac and Pro Mac is over.

 

[Ian]

He looks like he doesn't care. Not even trying. Not sure what is going on.

He's worried about turning it over. Saw that at points last year. Not ideal.

 

[catent]

I said no matter what you think about Mac Jones, Belichick is to blame for the failures of this team. He should have been fired after last year.

Yeah, let's fire BB to cover for Mac Jones. JFC

And just like that he gives us a patented, Mac Jones, "off the back foot, inaccurate, fluttering moonball special". Very on-brand ... for the both of you.

Does Jonesy lick the scrotum when he's giving you dome, Rob? Must be good stuff if you're so committed to him.

 

[GaryfromTO]

Is George Blanda still alive?

 

[upstater1]

Yeah to me it’s really glaring and obvious that Brady hid a lot of BBs warts and poor drafting/decisions. BB is a very good coach no question….but Brady made him the goat….and now he is reverting back to Cleveland Bill ….and ready to be fired if we are thinking logically

You can say that about 2007 through 2017.

But you can't say that about 2001-2006 or 2018.

Those teams relied on their defense, and as great as Brady was in 2018, the defense lead the team to a SB victory that year.

 

[Triumph]

I said no matter what you think about Mac Jones, Belichick is to blame for the failures of this team. He should have been fired after last year.

Everyone sees how much Jones sucks.

Belichick will never win with Jones because he has no business playing in the NFL.

This team only needs competent solid QB play to have a chance.

 

[Sfpat]

Mac has been epically terrible today.

Unfortunately, true. Maybe the worst QB performance I've ever seen

 

[FCB02062]

let's go Zappe

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Zappe time.
