Thursday Night Football: tOfficial preseason games on thread

[Dude]

Danny, no wonder Pats did not start Mac. Could get confusing.

 

[Dude]

INT by Giants. Good defensive play

 

[Dude]

Is KFC any good? They still have that dumb ass colonel in there. Last time I ordered that garbage it was like cardboard, yuck!

 

[Shanemansj13]

Daniel Jones is so bad lol

 

[Dude]

Nordin back on track nails a long FG. Pats have to be of the few teams that have 2 good kickers.

 

[Iggloo]

Giants finishing last y'all

 

[Clayton]

It's definitely possible that the Giants are a worse version of the Panthers.

Bad oline and bad QB is a losing combo 10 out of 10 times

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hodge is making his case for a roster spot

 

[Dude]

That Hanes commercial has to be the gayest spot ever. Up there with Uber one. Really, who is the demographic these ads are targeting?

 

[Shanemansj13]

LOL @ Rosen

Jones playing ok, but 2 sacks already and getting rattled

This was one of the biggest concerns I had about him around draft time when everybody was saying Mac Jones to the 9ers.

Because he's just average at best physically the question was how was he going to fare when plays didn't go exactly as planned or when he had pressure in his face before he wanted. How capable was he win he had to go out and make something happen and play some hero ball.

Way too early to come to any conclusions in that regard given that he's a rookie but those kind of concerns still loom over his head.

Overall a decent 3rd preseason game for NE. A lot of defenders made BBs job easier. They played themselve's right off the team.

A few guys on the bubble are Gunner Ozelewski, Nordin and Winovich IMO. All likely picked up by someone at some point.


Thoughts on your team's preseason. Bubble guys or some you think will be cut?

I think thats a fair point. I also think that if you have an offensive genius as a head coach then you want the athletic freak with the upside. If you're a defensive coach then you want the pocket passer that can be a coach on the field.

Mac will be fine. Taking a sack to live another play and avoiding a more costly pick is not a bad thing. Afterall, not everyone has that escapability. See TB12 and Peyton Manning.

I'm very impressed with Mac Jones.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Mac Jones was starting week 1 and Cam was in more of a Taysom Hill role.

It's hard to follow Tom Brady. If Mac Jones has one good game then the media will turn into a circus. Good thing you guys have Bellichick to always cool that down.

Agreed. It's impossible to replace Tom Brady. And yeah, Belichick will end that conversation with a death stare.

I hope you're right. But I think BB starts Cam thru the first four games. Unless he's unbelievably bad. I think BB doesn't want to put that extra pressure on Mac until after the Tampa game. What a field day the press would have leading up to it.

Best scenario BB brings in Mac to replace Cam during the TB game. When he enters they're losing. Come 0:00 on the clock NE squeaks out a victory on a long FG by Nordin.

Sounds like you're trying to write a daytime feel good movie

The next chapter. Could history repeat itself? Did BB catch lightning in a bottle twice?

OK getting a little ahead of myself. Imagine the carnage?

Looks like BB went the other direction. Get rid of Cam as a distraction and just give Mac the team.
