Post-Game Talk: WEEK 14 - PATS WIN!!!!!!!
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
It gives the Zappe fans some juice and the team a moral victory.
We should be focused on the tank. Unfortunately, the Steelers suck too. So the chances of winning tonight was high.

He played fairly well, got the W, he deserves credit for that. Nothing should change in the plan going forward with the team, suck teams can occasionally win games too.
Of course.
It just sucks the Steelers suck too. It would of helped if we lost. But I totally expected us to win 1 more or another before the season is done.
Just hope it doesn't hurt us. We saw what that week 17 win by the Jets did. It cost them Lawrence.
Honestly the games tonight were kind of annoying, I was hoping for a Bruins win and Pats loss but it was fun seeing Zappe put up TD's.
A week ago the Steelers were 7-4 with 2 home games against teams that had won 2 games and they lost them both. The locals are seething.

I don't blame him. He'll probably end up with the Niners like Shanahan wanted and succeed. He's got the yips and they totally destroyed his confidence. He's not a bad QB. I fully expect him leaving after this year and succeeding somewhere else. No doubt about it.
We'll probably be stuck with Bill again next year. Just hope this win doesn't screw us in the draft.

I think they likely win the Jets game as well.
Jets will have been mathematically eliminated by then as well, and at home in what could be Bill’s last game as coach.

Here is an odd thing
We looked for Mac on the sidelines and we COULD NOT FIND HIM. Normally the backup QB is near the starter on the sidelines because in just one play he could be in - we could not find Mac.
There was no directive from the truck NOT TO SHOOT him in fact the producers wanted him in a shot.

Bill will draft a G with the 6th pick and move him to TWe're going to get stuck with Cousins
Glad they won.
Nope.Will the Krafts' take a 25M loss by firing him?
What a loser for not being on the sideline

Many seem to feel that him being dismissed is a foregone conclusion.Will the Krafts' take a 25M loss by firing him?
I think there is a path to him staying.

Kraft already made his money over the initial sale to the STH.
However, many in the media have long said that once the bottom falls out in terms of the on the field product, people will stop showing up.
The question now for Kraft is, what path gets you back to respectability quicker, axing Bill now, or letting him finish out his contract as a lame duck?
I thought that was strange as well, Fenway. I assumed Malik was the backup. I didn't even know Mac was on the sidelines until after the game and he was shaking hands with the Steelers. I've never seen Bill so animated and involved as he was with Zappe this game, than he was with Mac. I think it's pretty clear he likes Zappe.
I think it's a mess in that locker room.

I don't think the locker room is a mess, i think Mac just isn't that popular in it even if the team won't come out and shit on him publicly. Bedard has been saying for months Zappe and Mac don't like each other and barely ever interact with each other on the sideline. Zappe starting again probably confirms Mac is done for the year and he's out of sight of Zappe on gameday now.
I don't take anything Bedard says as fact. Lots of beat reporters have said otherwise. I think Zappe is a cocky little shit. And I think he's a "yes sir, whatever you want, dog walk me if you need" type of kid. Mac isn't that player. I think they have two VERY different personalities. And both know they want to start Mac knows Zappe wants his job.
It's probably tense. And I'm sure Bill loves it because he was ALL OVER Zappe last night to which everyone noticed he hasn't done that with Mac.
We know Bill is still mad Mac asked Saban for advice last year.
I think it's a mess. But I could see a situation where Bill and Zappe are back next year
