Patriots Game Week Thread

[Simon]

Drake Maye is going to play along with the rest of their starters and Mayo "sounds" like he's playing to win.

Coming out of this game healthy is the goal.

Get some guys some reps who don't start vanilla game plan stay healthy get ready for the playoffs. Sounds like Mayo knows he is on a bit of a warm seat

[HOUSE]

I am hoping for some Mike White. 

Not a huge fan but he does have some big games from time to time.

IMO, he is a borderline starter in this league.

Good.  A Pats win ensures they don't get the first pick in the draft and they hopefully stick with Mayo has head coach.  I'd hate for them to do something smart and hire Ben Johnson or Joe Brady.

If he dresses he will be an emergency QB as Allen is getting the start.

I am curious to see how they will manage the load of snaps for some of the rotational guys. I keep seeing/hearing fans say “rest all the starters” and that is just not practical. Someone has to take the snaps; and with less than 50

activea players, some of the key pieces are going to need to be involved.

The entirety of the NFL disagrees with you. Sorry. 😢

If he is one of the 2 PS call-ups he can play any time as long as he's designated as active for the game.

The question is, how many and which starters will be on the inactive list?

ALL of the depth players have to be active.

 

Once the coaches determine that, they can look at the remaining players and decide who best to elevate from the PS.

[Sojourner]

If he wasn’t playing to win or try and get another assessment of his best players he shouldn’t be a head coach. 
 

That whole team should be doing their best to try and beat the best the division, conference and league has to offer. 
 

I know we did during Tommy and Billy’s days. Even if we weren’t successful lol

 

 

To our guys. Hopefully starters on both sides of the field play a solid amount of drives. If not the whole first half. Unlikely, but you never know.

And what did they say about Sam Darnold?

[PromoTheRobot]

I was going to go but I'll just watch on TV. Resale tickets are dirt cheap if you want to make the trip.

 

If you do go and want to park for free AND get a $50 Visa gift card, register to park in lots 45 or 55B. The catch is you can't leave for 75 minutes after the game. But the Patriots set up a free waiting room with snacks in their Cross Insurance center. It's a great deal if you can wait to leave.

Gonna be very similar to bills/Jets at the end of the 2019 season. 

[Since1981]

What kind of pre season cluster will this be? One team intentionally fumbles and the other team afraid to jump on it!?

If the Pats don't want the win we'll take it. 14-3 sounds nice.

They said the Jets were killing his potential. 

[Bigvinny]

Just a heads up they have Sunday ticket with red zone for 5 bucks. Not necessarily for the bills game but there's some other big games Sunday. I'm getting Carolina/Atlanta at 1pm.

Bills should treat this like a preseason game after giving Josh his start and one series. 
 

[Ray Stonada]

One drive for Josh and the starters, just to keep their hands in, ending in a play action TD to Anderson
