Success

Seeing this kind of QB play almost brings a tear to my eye.

Barkley was talked about as the top pick at one time. Maybe we finally got some luck.

Barkley looks like a real find so far

To be fair, Claiborne made a good play there

I love this version of the ‘18 Bills.

Sorry ref - there actually WAS a foul for PI

Love the cookie man. Lost in all of the doom and gloom about this team is how many great young players we have.

Shaq is really fast - he’s turning into a keeper.

That was PI. Love how Barkley surveyed the field on that one.

I don’t care about a higher draft pick. I like winning - I want to win games.

It would be cool if Barkley worked out long term - even just as a solid backup

Is this what it’s like being a Pats fan?

That was a tough hit and should have been flagged. I don’t see him as being injury prone - hopefully he improves in terms of avoiding hits and not taking risks.

I guess it’s a tribute to the kind of season this is that I have no strong feelings about this whatsoever.

Tanking is dumb. You play to win.

Side note, but I hate that the national narrative is that this was another multi pick game for Peterman. Seriously, how does he prevent this one, or the one where Pryor scoops it right into the defender’s hands?

Surreal doesn’t even describe this anymore. We’ll get through this, people. We always do. Find strength in the power of beer.

I feel sort of the same way as the OP. I feel a lot more confident in Beane than McD. Beane is smart, and seems to have a vision...and he admits mistakes. I haven’t completely given up on McD, but it’s hard to have faith. I don’t care about the clapping or comments about watching tape. I care about how many times we’ve been blown out, and have looked completely unprepared. I care about some of the stupid and repetitive mistakes that this team seems to make every game - that kind of lack of discipline is a reflection of coaching. I just don’t see it. Every other game, we seem to have a decent enough defensive game plan, but it falls apart quickly. And the offense is such a shambles.

Spot on. I don’t get why there is renewed anger each week. We’re rebuilding and developing a rookie QB. It’s unlikely to get prettier.

Peterman was so not the reason we lost yesterday. Not sure how anyone who watched the game could conclude he was the problem.

I’m one of those who think he’s in the conversation. His bad luck getting McCarthy and an organization that can’t build a good team around him. That’s what I’m thinking. But chances are it will be in Foxboro.

I knew Gordon would be trouble.

That always happens though. But you’re right. Pats are at least starting to slip a little bit. Will still finish 12-4, and we’ll have to hear that annoying horn throughout the playoffs yet again.

Why did I choose to ruin my day further? I’ve seen this movie way too many times. And it wasn’t good to begin with.

I shouldn’t watch these games. Such a bummer. Groundhog Day. You guys are total excuse machines. Green Bay is on their 2nd team defense.
