Game #5 Detroit @ New England Sunday October 9, 2022 1:00 PM

[Dude]

I’m wondering how the game would’ve gone today with Mac at QB. More TD’s? More INT’s?

Not sure how much longer he’s out but if Zappe wins a few more games will we have our first QB controversy on our hands in 20 years?

They will let Jones rest and get back to 100% I would say after Zappe game today. That would be the smart move. No need to rush a decision now.

Think they said 4-6 weeks, 8 with operation for Mac. Who knows at this point?

Zero sacks and zero QB hits today. Solid run blocking. Great job offensive line.

@sharkymcwrath
On the “if Mac played today” comment, all I can say is that Zappe did more with the same players as Jones did in 4 games to start season. Time will tell.

And Zappe seems more mobile, faster to react.

 

[Dude]

Stevenson had a career game. Picked up the slack after Harris injury. Where are the other RB to help him?

Anyone else pick up on the irony of the Lions waiting for Patricia to be gone before making him look good?

I'm sure Mr Patricia is very happy tonight.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Can we get a bag of used kicking tees for Agoholor?

I'll take broken golf tees at this point.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

How do you bench Zappe when Jones is ready? Bailey is doing more with the same players.

Mac may want to call Drew for some advice.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

I love the throwback uniforms.

Reminds me of my 20s

Back when dirt was new...?

 

[cheerupcharlie]

I'm really really liking Jack Jones.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I'm happy for Zappe as well. Good game plan and play calling. Keep the kid out of trouble.

But let's pump the brakes just a bit. Detroit was the worst defense in the league and lost multiple DBs during the game.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I'm really really liking Jack Jones.

I do as well but he needs to put himself in check both verbally and some of his actions.

BB has a way of finding and teaching up DBs. Wish he had half the luck with WRs.

Rewatching the game. Still going over each play two ior three times to see what's working and what isn't.

Three things stand out huge:

1. Trent Brown and Cole Strange are really starting to work together. Everything to the left of Zappe is solid.
2. The run game to the right (Wynn/Owenue ) is useless. Owenue is holding his own but Wynn is as useless as tits on a bull.
3. On two plays to left where the RB has been caught from his right, I've watched and rewatched Wynn pretty much let the LB go to make the tackle and has been standing by himself without as much a defender within three yards, except for the tackler who made the play.

For the life of me, I can't understand what compels BB to continue to play the guy. He's truly a liability. Give cannon a shot or Herron, even more, Sabatian Gutierrez the rookie form Minot State University.

I did not get to watch the game, I watched highlights on Youtube, my thoughts on my limited watching exp.

1. Zappe looked really comfortable in the pocket made some great throws the one INT was not on him IMO.
2. Stevenson has a heluva day.
3. Judon is a stud.
4. Nice to see Duggar score.
5. Some great plays by a young secondary.
6. Very opportunistic defense which in the end translates to situational football.
7. Would really like to see the redzone offense improve.
8. Nice to have Jakobi back.

9. Damn I love the Reds. Never did like the Flying Elvis

They showed up about the same time as Parcels and Bledsoe and soon became associated with the new "winning" Pats compared to the reds that experienced so little winning. Looking back, I don't recall anyone actually liking the FE.

I have not gotten to see the game yet. Maybe this evening.
We don't know how good Zappe is yet. Great game - small sample size? I like the kid
Wynn is stinking the place up all the time now. Maybe he needs a shrink? Is he one of those players who takes the few million he has made on this rookie contract and says "bye" at the end of this year?
When Cannon left we were ready to see him go. He is a backup - not an everyday player any more.
I guarantee that Bill is looking at his other options carefully

Note: Miami's RT situation is dire. They are killing QB's and might run out! Not a lot of available tackles out there.....

 

[BigKen]

Not a lot of available tackles out there.....

Look at all of the ones that were cut from training camps.

Could be a diamond in the ruff.
