Mac looked just like 2021 Mac. That's both good and bad. The good part is is anything is better than what we got last year at the QB position and if this defense is legit we can win games with a 2021 Mac. The bad is this is his 3rd year and he needs to be better than 2021 by taking the next step and show he can win games with his arm. Or he's probably not the franchise QB we want and the team should consider moving on.I try not to judge the team only by the results. The Pats looked better in game one than they did at any point last year. I knew the Pats were facing an extremely tough team and they exceeded my expectations against that team.
Hard to be mad when the team plays better than I expected them to. As OP said they do need to find a way to win these close games though.
I thought Mac was good. I blame Bourne for the pick 6 (if it touches the receivers hands they should catch it).
I bet Parker makes the sideline catches Boutte couldn’t. Onwenu and Strange healthy would have helped the running game a lot. This team is known for easing into the regular season. The offense was good on Sunday but I expect it to get better.
