Patriots 2022 Season

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Too bad for Meyers, who’s had a good year and is probably their best receiver.

But this game was just another weak performance by the offense and the coaches. They don’t deserve to be in the playoffs, and certainly wouldn’t go far even if they did make the postseason. I don’t know the answers to their problems, I just know they’re a mess of a team and in need of a lot of help.

Haha that’s a new way to lose. I was bummed for 5 minutes, then I realized that they need to play Cincy, Miami, and Buffalo. They will all be favored. If the Pats pull those wins out, they get to play another team that’s better in the playoffs, followed by another.

Mac was not good again. Time to draft another QB and continue this rebuild.

Did you watch Mac play last year at all? When he had an OC that knew how to run an offense. He was more than serviceable. Blaming this dumpster fire of a team on Mac is pretty ridiculous. Team is undisciplined in all 3 phases of the game. That falls on the coaching staff.

Yup, he looked OK. It was better than Cam Newton, so many were satisfied with Mac. Others think he was a legit Pro Bowler. I think he got to play in that game because others were hurt/declined.

Mac’s not that athletic, and I think he’s less accurate than many think. He’s just another guy. I don’t think this is harsh. There are about 10 other interchangeable QBs in the same boat.

And yes, our offensive play calling/coaching has also been terrible. We need a change there as well.

Most undisciplined and poorly coached Belichick team of all time. Just a total mess. He’s slowly eroding the unending faith

No doubt he’s lost his fastball. He used to win with subpar offensive talent. The Pats are .500 in a rebuild. I’m ok with this, and hope the “pain” is over soon.

Brady isn’t the same either. It was a great ride while it lasted.

The Pats need to create their new future and I bet that will start soon after Belichick beats Shula’s win record.

Pretty glad I’m only a casual Pats fan after that last play, lol.  I won’t rag on Meyers too much - he was never supposed to get the ball on that play and his brain exploded when he did.  But that is one of the silliest mistakes I’ve seen in the NFL.

Patricia needs to hit the road though.  Can’t believe they hitched their wagon to that chump in a formative year for their promising young QB.  I don’t know if Mac is the guy, but I know Patricia is not.

Belichick used to be ruthless. He cut ties with Lawyer Milloy and Richard Seymour. Now he’s trying to save Patricia’s career and carrying both of his sons on his staff. Grandpa Bill is getting softer.

It may take Bill 3 more years to pass Shula. Pats haven’t made it past the first round of the playoffs since Brady left. You think Kraft cares about Belichick’s individual accolades and is just going to accept mediocrity for several more years before making changes? I certainly hope not.

The TD that had the Raiders tied the game should not have counted. Receiver's foot was clearly on the line. Officiating has been atrocious these days, even tonight's game between Giants and Washington. Blatant PI no-call that could have given Commanders a new set of downs at Giants' 1 for them to potentially tie the game.

Then again, back to the Pats topic...it should not have come down to the final play. Pats should have played better against these 6-8 Raiders led by Josh McDoofus.

I told you all about the Chargers-esque buffonery of this team. This is a clown show and it will only get worse as their confidence deteriorates

Lost in all of the reaction from what happened yeseterday is that Mac Jones completed 30% of his passes for 104 yards. You can't win with that - and blaming the coaching only goes so far. Maybe the guy just doesn't have what it takes to succeed at this level.

Maybe the fact that they were even in the game at all was because of the coaching.  Your QB plays like that, you lose probably 90% of the time in that league.

One odd comment from BB:  he said they didn't try a hail mary, because the throw wouldn't reach the end zone.  Neither Mac nor Zappe / Hoyer (whichever was active) can throw the ball 55 yards?

Both are supposed to be “cerebral” QBs with inferior athleticism and arm talent. I believe this 100%.

I think the WR’s need more time than the Pats poor O-line allows to get that deep down field. Mac usually has 2 seconds before the defense is on top of him.

Here’s Mac throwing a 50+ yard pass during his pro-day and he’s is stronger now than he was then.

We'll find out what BB thinks of his QB once the season is over. All the guy needed to do was complete one pass and they win the game and he couldn't do it.

I think blaming the coaching only goes so far. You can either execute when it matters or you can't.  That said, he was OK vs Minn and Arizona. But by and large he hasn't exactly been good this season and the team has been terrible in the red zone.
