I think we are on the same page - above I said "Regardless, think everyone agrees there could be more imaginative ways to run the ball." In the context of what Joe B was saying, the unimaginative runs up the middle that seemed so forced almost look to be some kind of (half-hearted?) concession by Daboll to McD's wishes - just terrible play design/choice/commitment/execution (which probably pisses McD off even more)

Interesting analysis from Joe B on The Athletic about what appears to be a disconnect between Daboll and McD Makes you wonder how much of the stupid 2 yd runs up the middle Daboll kept calling were just attempts to placate McD - "Here's a 'physical' run up the middle - this is what you wanted" Regardless, think everyone agrees there could be more imaginative ways to run the ball. Also agree with the last statement above that regardless of how McD wants to play physically offensively - the team just isn't built that way currently

I'm at the point I could GAF about hurt feelings

It is crazy that it basically will be overlooked. In the 4th Q his passes made you forget he was throwing against gale force winds. It really was incredible.

Couldn't stop Mac Jones

It's a shame lost in this is going to be unbelievable effort/throws by Josh against ridiculous wind - instead we'll hear more ball washing for a QB who completed one pass in an NFL game

Only need to get the 5 yd liine - don't need to throw into a crowd in the EZ

If any person on earth thinks Jones is even close to the same league as Josh after this game they should be thrown in an active volcano

Please no 6 minute soul sucking drive

1st and goal at the six - throw away first down useless run up the middle for one yard - then go backwards and come up with nothing. JFC

Think I'd rather just run josh 4 times

Undisciplined poorly coached team

One thing this game confirms is Jones is not al that - Bill B terrified to even let him throw a second pass

This makes me sad

You can see his helmet is a half yard short when the whistle blew - he is looking to the left

RBs run for 20 yds on us with one hanstring

Terrible spot

Have we ever run up the middle for more than 2 yards?

He worked miracles in coverage

If Mac Jones is so great how come his coach won't even let him throw a pass

Stop then here make then punt from here!

Get a turnover

They lost when Derek Andersen completed 2 passes

I'm feeling better now than immediately after the long TD run against

Why aren't they talking about how NE couldn't take advantage of the wind
