Post-Game Talk: WEEK 16 - G̶e̶o̶r̶g̶e̶ Bailey Zappe has a Christmas Eve miracle - PATS 26 Denver 23

[Bruinswillwin77]

Shouldnt the Pats be 3rd Commanders beat them

NFL draft tiebreaker is strength of schedule. I had to research a couple months ago because I never had to know that before

 

[rfournier103]

You spelled Caleb Williams wrong.

Yeah he’s the cry baby diva

Yup. And let this be a lesson to you filthy animals. DON’T DRINK AND POST.

Goodnight and merry Christmas, everyone.

 

[Gordoff]

I didn't watch the game because I just KNEW that they'd f**k it up and win. Jerks can't even lose properly! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Chad Ryland man

We're not getting rid of him, are we @Fenway

There is the inconvenience that they owe him 25 million for next year.

What is certain is Mac Jones will play somewhere else in 2024.

Without a doubt.

They ruined him here. I expect him to succeed somewhere else. Might take a year or so, but he'll make it elsewhere. I don't think Bill ever wanted or liked him as a QB.

I don't see them getting rid of Bill even though it's time.

 

[smithformeragent]

Wow.

Just got up and watched the 2nd half on DVR.

That’s awesome!

 

[EvilDead]

I root for this team to fail now just so Belichick can be gone.

I doubt that Bob Kraft wants to keep him around just so he can fail upwards to Shula's win record. At the end of the day, the Krafts care about the team's brand equity and Belichick has continued to damage it. There's no way he can be allowed to continue unless this team falls outside of the top ten picks.

If they were going to win one, at least it pretty much knocked Wilson and the Broncos out of
the playoffs.

I can live with this win because of that.

Although this was before my time and slightly different, this MIGHT be a Jim Plunkett situation. The Boomers here should remember him.

I can’t see Bill returning. How can he? Unless he is demoted strictly to head coach with no say over anything else, he’s as good as gone.

I’ll give you a public apology if I’m wrong.

How much do you think Kraft would pay to have a competent General Manager and Personnel Department?

What is certain is Mac Jones will play somewhere else in 2024.

If I were Mac, I’d want to play somewhere else next year.

I think it will forever be hard for Mac, just doesn't have the arm to make the big throws over 10 yards

He's shell-shocked from playing behind that line. Look at my post about Jim Plunkett. If you don’t know who Jim Plunkett is, fire up the Google machine.

Baker Mayfield looks closer to that type of story than Mac IMO

I remember Jim Plunkett. Heisman Trophy winner & iirc the #1 overall pick of his draft class. Played for some awful Patriots teams, he spent a lot of time either running for his life or getting crushed by opposing defenses. He was considered toast when he left. Became an Oakland Raiders reclamation project and ended up leading them to 2 Super Bowl wins.

Mac ruined us and should have never played again after Zappe won a couple games. Worst starter in the league this year. Worst teammate as well just a petulant little b. Handpicked his coordinator and got even worse.

I don't get the fans allegiance to Jones at all. He is all of the above. Good riddance.

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you wonderful people. Second, while I know it messed up the draft, it did hose Wilson and the Broncos, so there’s that. Also, it’s kind of inspirational in that some times you have to suck it up, play hard, and win with the guys you have versus the guys you wish you had.

 

[smithformeragent]

Team could have easily gone 8-9.

Not sure what to make of that.

Has Bailey Zappe been the answer all along for the Patriots? | Guregian

Bailey Zappe has certainly helped his cause with the Patriots going forward. Should that change the narrative with respect to taking a quarterback in the draft?

Bailey progressing well after his 6th start. Looks like he has bought in to Bill's coaching which should only help him going forward

BB will be gone next year, so he does not care what the Pats draft position is. Talk about losing by winning.
