Remember when the Giants v Patriots were a pair of classic football games with late game drives by both teams and was super dramatic? Not this time.
Never a good sign when you give up 10 points in each of the last two games... and lose. Mac Jones needed time with O'Brien, but there really is no decent trending here. Jones was able to through 10 to 20 yard passes, but that isn't happening right now, and generally his ball placement is making life hard for the receivers which I feel is his worst weakness. That and delay of games, which I swear are worse than the stats indicate, he often barely gets the ball off in time. Yes, Jones suffers from some bad luck, but overall, his passing is degrading. Hence why Zappe is playing. And Zappe is showing why the Pats didn't go with Zappe last year.
They are mediocre NFL QBs. The Patriots will almost certainly be looking for a new starter for next season, unless Jones has a huge turnaround. Granted, yesterday was hard with the rain.
At least the Pats didn't plunk a mint with Mac Jones like other teams did.
Props to Rhamondre Stevenson who has had a good season so far. That guy gets the ball. Pulls out a book, reads a chapter, looks up, finds a hole and then runs, gets hit by 3 players, and gets two or three more yards after first contact.
