Patriots/NFL 2024 Regular Season

[BigGoalBrad]

False sense of optimism from the games being close. He wasn't sitting all year so I don't mind this week last really good team for a while.

Absolute morons to announce this vs surprise everyone when he runs out first drive.

 

[EverettMike]

Not this one

 

[Johnnyduke]

I don't like it. So much pressure on this kid to turn around the season. High risk low reward

I'm not sure there is. I think most realize the team sucks. I think all I'm really looking for is him not shitting his pants like Mac Jones. And can he make some "wow" plays that Brissett can't.

I doubt he can protect himself like the good QBs all can.

Plan should be see if he can beat the Jags and someone else and shut him down around Thanksgiving after 5-6 starts.

I feel like our WR's are jumping for joy Drake is starting.

In furtherance of this franchise being braindead

They announced it early to get people to stop talking about the Peppers fiasco.

.....and it worked, too.

Yup. Always calculated.

And it stopped people talking about how they silence Evan Lazar and deleted his part on the Patriots official podcast.

this is going to be a disaster, potentially worse than korpisalo in net

 

[Fenway]

BB could be the NHC of the NYJ

How much talk has there even really been about Peppers? He's a good but not elite safety on a 1-4 football team.



I feel like it's more about getting asses in seats and making sure people know Maye will be starting to generate buzz, because the attendance for the second home game of the season against a beatable Miami team would concern any owner thinking about what it might look like in November and December.

But resale prices have been $150 get in and up all year despite the bad play. ST wait list still decades long. Empties are people in Pats place or the lot just not rushing in. I'm sure a few wealthy folks eat them but so what.

Even peak Brady era the upper deck was 1/4 empty because those people wanted to stand somewhere else.

Houston in a complete let down spot even with Brisset they could have crapped the bed. Now way less likely they don't want to lose to the kid. Indefensible.
