NFL Season

[Jibber]

Pats lost, but looked ok....

Any thoughts on this year?

I'm thinking 9-8.....

I'm thinking NFL - to many TV commercials, season to short.

Go BRUINS - starting in 3 weeks..

I'm thinking a little better than that as Matt Jones matures and works into a rhythm a little. Pretty impressive showing for a rookie in his first NFL game. Agholor looked good too. Some others as well.

Thought Jones looked good, but, after during the news interview, very dry, sounded like Belichik. And what about him not taking the ball after the touchdown.

Being a Dolphins fan I'm lovin it ! Mack who? Didn't throw into the end zone once, dink and dunk passes over the middle, no long passes to spread the field. He has a long way to go as most rookies do. People comparing him to Brady. Seriously !!

[marinedad]

Jones has a long way to go before he can be compared to Brady.

[ToplessPony94]

Yes, but he's starting from a pretty good place as a rookie. Time will tell how good he is or isn't.

On an aside, one thing I've been hearing a lot when people are talking about some of the newer generation of QBs: "Not bad for a young quarterback whose name isn't Patrick Mahomes."

Get ready for a crapsicle on Sunday night.

Yep! Did you see that Bucs acquired Richard Sherman? The mouth that roared...

From the bleacher report:

Mac Jones hasn't made anyone in New England forget about Tom Brady yet, but he's been the NFL's best rookie quarterback through the first four weeks of the 2021season.

Jones has completed 70 percent of his passes. His on-target rate of 82.1percent ranks fifth among qualified passers leaguewide, and he's committed only a handful of turnover-worthy plays (almost all of which came in one poor performance).

Outside of his three-interception dud against the New Orleans Saints, the Alabama product has completed 75 percent of his passes and owns a 98.5 passer rating.

Jones is averaging only 3.4 completed air yards per attemptand hasn't faced much pressure (24 percent) behind a solid offensive line. And while he's posted a strong 98.6 rating in the fourth quarter of one-score games, it's concerning that he's only 7-of-21 on deep attempts.

That all factors in. But if there was any doubt that he belongs in the top spot at this point, Jones going toe-to-toe with Brady (and outplaying him on paper) in Week 4 is the icing on the cake.

Now he gets to feast on Mills and the lowly Texans on Sunday.

Often times game/teams outcome is affected by who's not playing. The QB is only one person.
