I'm gonna watch a movie.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Brissett came in and did absolutely nothing.

GOOD NEWS

Maye has come back on the field and it appears he will take the offense back.

BTW....................Cole Strange is playing his first game in a year and is playing CENTER!!!!! Looks good so far.

How does or did Strange look good. Maye has had zero time. Not that he is the problem but he really has made no difference

 

[YankeeRebel]

This team is just horrible no doubt about it. The Krafts are going to have to make some decisions. This is bad as bad a team as I have seen in a long time

 

[BigKen]

The movie sucked almost as much as the Patriots did today.

I sped through the second half because there wasn't much to see.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Mayo continues to play Lowe at LT. There is no reasonable or sensible reason to continue to play that man at LT. Caleb Jones (93) was playing at the end of the fourth quarter and no one got by the 6'9" 370lb LT. Why in hell isn't that giant starting??

I'm sorry, but Jerrod Mayo just doesn't seem to have the "thing" that a HC must have to get and maintain respect from his team. He apparently leaves too many decisions on who plays and how much up to his OC and DC. This team needs a blood transfusion from and outside body.

This was one of our worst played games yet. I’ve seen nothing to show this team has gotten any better from week 1. Zero progress. But, this is what was predicted for us this year. We have 2 guys worth a shit. Our draft so far is historically bad. The resigning of our own players has been a bust. Stevenson… Peppers…. Dugger… Barmore have all been failures.

Bingo. The team has shown little or no improvement that's poor coaching.

Fumble Patriots. Pop didn't get out of his stance and Maye tossed the ball to his fingertips. Horrible call by AVP. Finally had a drive going and two big defensive penalties and AVP tried to be cute.

That was on Maye. That type of lateral needs a little hang to it so it looks headed to the rb but allows pop an extra moment to get to it. It was a good play design with horrible execution.

To double down on your comments: previous administration drafted well with the exception of WR. Then this group starts by wasting two good picks on guys who look like they'll never see the field instead of getting McConkey. Such an amazingly bad look.

For this I blame coaching.

1992?

 

[YankeeRebel]

Play Milton?

Play Milton?

Play Maye... Sorry - typo, meant Mayo..

 

[BigKen]

"I" think that the problem starts with Mayo. He doesn't have the stomach to make tough decisions and Wolfe doesn't have the stomach to go out and find replacement players. Mayo would rather throw AVP under the bus than call out Lowe or anyone else for lousy play. He's already allowed the OL problem to put Maye in the blue tent on two occasions and forced him to sit a week in the concussion protocol.

Instead of having Brissett as the third QB and allowing Milton to tke the reins in a real game, he leave the OL in place and hopes that Maye will come back and bail his ass out.

Unless the Krafts can come to some kind of decision on this coaching staff, I don't see anything different next year.

Play Milton. See what he has. Could be the #2 next year or potential trade bait.

If he has a day that is, let's say, 18/30 228 1 TD and 1 INT. The Giants just might step up or the Raiders and offer their first.

Do any of these 2025 FA QBs tickle your fancy as a #2?

2) Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh Steelers
3) Justin Fields, Pittsburgh Steelers
4) Jameis Winston, Cleveland Browns
5) Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts
6) Jacoby Brissett, New England Patriots
7) Mac Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars
8) Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers
9) Mason Rudolph, Tennessee Titans
10) Carson Wentz, Kansas City Chiefs

Clearly Fields does.

 

[BigKen]

Clearly Fields does.

At what cost???? Considering he would be a backup. My guess is that he would be looking for a place to be the starter.

If Milton isn't the answer, I'd take pretty much anyone one of them. It would depend on cost and them knowing they're #2 on the depth chart.

Personally, I want to see Milton play. See what he's got. He'd be the least expensive option giving NE greater flexibility with the cap.

Fourth year? 3rd team?

He'll be glad to be on a roster.


Edit: 5th year.
