I love it since it allows me to watch more games. Usually I can watch 3 games - 1pm, 4pm, SNF. This time I get to do that twice. Although the Sunday games aren't looking so hot, so maybe not
So I'll get to see
Falcons @ Ravens (live 2am)
Eagles @ Cowboys the next morning
Raiders @ Steelers after that if I feel like it (should be a fun, if meaningless game)
Next day I'll watch Packers @ Dolphins in the morning, and maybe just have the other two games going in the background while I do other stuff. Baker kind of lost all his heat, and Bucs @ Cardinals is going to be boring as fuck.
Mac needs to learn to keep his emotions in check. All these baby tantrum outbursts at coaches like Matt Patricia are rubbing many people like his team mates the wrong way.
I understand why Mac is angry and waving off the coach's plays. He does not like the conservative play calling from Coach Matty P. That coach is a defensive minded coach. He does not want Mac to sling the ball, and make more long bomb throws. Matty P. calls the screen pass plays for Mac.
Mac needs to grow up fast, and handle his business in a more mature manner. He needs to talk with Belichick and Matt Patricia in the locker room about the offensive system. If he is not happy with it, then talk about it internally with the coaches without being an EMO on the field while his team mates and cameras from the media catch all his antics.
It is also Belichick's responsibility to take Mac to the side and talk to the kid.
The next three games are must win games for the Pats in order for them to have a chance to win a wild card spot for the playoffs. Now is not the time for Mac to act like a whiny kid throwing tantrums during games.

Totally agree with all that.. I think I've said it before that Mac comes across as having the attitude of a 10 year QB vet who thinks he's surrounded by incompetent players and coaches. But he's in his second year lol. Dude needs to chill out a bit. He has a ton of potential, it would suck if he wasted it.
BB was asked why they didn't try for a hail mary if they weren't going to kneel for a tie, and he said Mac doesn't have the arm for it. Yikes! That's a 50ish yard throw I think! He should have the arm for that.
I would also question the idea of having a defensive minded coach running your offense.
Edit this just came up, showing fans aren't the only ones noticing it
Brutal game for the Jets, as they couldn't move the ball at all with Zack Wilson. Fans loudly chanting "We Want Flacco" and booing whenever the offense takes the field. So they bench him for Grey Cup Champion CHRIS STREVELER and he instantly outgains the team's first 3 quarters worth of yardage LOL. Didn't get a score in the end, because he's still bad just not as bad as Wilson.
I doubt we ever see Zack Wilson in a Jets uniform again. If White isn't healthy for the next few games I can see them going back to Streveler or even Flacco. You can't go back from this very public very humiliating benching.
Got banned from r/nfl for 3 days because after a Ravens touchdown pass (the first to a WR since week 3) someone said they still should have run it. I said that was retarded, and they took that as meaning I was making fun of people with disabilities. So maybe the person really was mentally handicapped (which would explain why they said something so retarded). Oops!
You guys have NO idea how bad Ravens fans on Reddit have been lately LOL.. Legitimately retarded.
(BTW I guess saying stupid or idiot instead, which are also outdated medical terms with similar meanings, would have been ok?)
This kid is a fucking dirty player holy shit! First kicking all those guys in the nuts on slides and now this diving at the KNEES on a play that is basically over?
Although I am a Pats fan, I certainly do not condone Mac's dirty plays. -attempt to injure players when he slides to the field after running the ball. -low hit below the knees against the Bengals' player.
My gosh. One of these days a opposing player is going to teach this kid a hard lesson.
Yeah that's the thing, some defensive player is going to want payback for this stuff.. Imagine if Burfict was still on the Bengals after that knee hit? He didn't give a fuck.
On the other hand I think it's kind of intriguing to have a new QB in the league who has some edge to him. Most of them try to be complete milquetoast, like Zack Wilson or Sam Darnold, Herbert, Mahomes, etc. (to say nothing of their quality of play, I am just referring to personality here).
Raiders benched Derek Carr for the last 2 games - he gone
Tua's concussion was diagnosed when they did the post game interview, wondering why the fuck he was passing to players who weren't part of the play.. That's when they figured he had a concussion. How fucked up is that?
I'm a Pats fan. The day that Brady started playing for the Bucs is when I quit caring about TB12.
It's about Mac and his team mates now.
I have zero respect for Brady as a human being after he reneged on his promise to his ex wife Gisele to retire. He chooses to continue his career as a geriatric QB over his wife and kids. He certainly knows the priorities of his life.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, staying alive! Pats get a gutsy win over the Dolphins today.
This could be the play that Mac made to save the Patriots' season:
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- His team clutching a two-point lead, the ball on the 1-yard line and the season in the balance, Mac Jones decided to improvise.
Facing third-and-goal, the Patriots quarterback looked to his left and saw a Dolphins defense guarding against a run and linebacker Duke Riley spread out covering Jakobi Meyers. Jones made eye contact with his receiver, took the snap and tossed a short fade where only Meyers could reach it. He did, falling into the end zone for a touchdown.
Mac Jones made a huge clutch, play by improvising.
The Pats face a huge test in their last game, on the road against the Bills.
I am shaken to see Hamlin’s really serious injury.
Thoughts and prayers for Damar and his family.
Postponing the game is absolutely the right decision.
The NFL is a tight brotherhood of players.
-no surprise to see players from both teams console each other. Many players with cutting onions, tears running down their faces.
Seeing the players from both teams take a knee on the field, and form a wall around Hamlin to protect his privacy shows you the tight bond among players.
Oh man ... this is the 1st time ever that something this serious in like 20+ yrs of watching NFL. From the replay, nothing seems out of the ordinary in terms of the tackle ... praying for the guy, hope he comes through.
