Yeah. And watching the play, the safety was coming from deep to short, so it’s not like Jonnu had him beat over the top and it would’ve gone over the safety’s head had it not hit the wire. The DB just would’ve slowed down to adjust to the trajectory of the ball, but the outcome would’ve more or...

Jones throws a phenomenal deep-ball. That's probably the best part of his game right now. Incredible touch and accuracy passing down the field when given a clean pocket. Certainly a much more accurate deep passer than Fields, and probably Lawrence. It's all the other stuff that's he's having...

Fortunately they play the games on the field. Not on paper ... or internet forums.

Yeah, Judge shouldn't be anywhere near the QBs. I'll be pretty disheartened if he stays in that role next season. There are other places I think the assistant coaching is lacking, too. They could afford to reevaluate their staff and see about bringing in external coaches to complement and expand...

I've seen the suggestion (maybe not here, but across the various media outlets that be) that Zappe has limitations in his game and argue he’s therefore unplayable (or not worth playing). I guess what I’m struggling with is the implication that Jones doesn’t have limitations that are (currently)...

Here’s a different perspective: Jones got first team reps all week in practice and a game-plan that assumed he’d be playing. Zappe came in midway through the game and still performed despite those circumstances.

What a night. Giving Belichick the benefit of the doubt, here's my read on things: The ideal outcome was Jones would start, respond extremely well, cleanup his issues from earlier in the season, and play the majority of the game. If they were up late, Zappe would come in for relief duty. I...

I don't think you can blame Belichick for pulling Jones there. Preceding the interception he had two shaky drives where he was showing the same issues with getting skittish in the pocket and missing open players. The QB didn't matter tonight given how poor the defense was. Zappe didn't cover...

My take on the Zappe-Jones situation going forward: Belichick suggested this morning that Jones wasn’t cleared to play against Cleveland. Presumably, even if Jones is cleared by Monday night, he won’t be at 100%. To me, that makes the decision to start Zappe against Chicago the safe and easy...

Another fascinating statistic. How good a quarterback is when throwing at/beyond the line to gain seems pretty darn important. View: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1582016081731928065

High level quarterback play. View: https://twitter.com/_AndrewCallahan/status/1582026512349351936

24/34, 309 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT Five receivers with 4 receptions. Three receivers with 60+ yards. Zappe impressed again. His pocket awareness is not a fluke and you cannot teach that.

And it wasn’t even a strip. Elbow was moving forward before the ball came loose. Close, but they got it wrong IMO. But yeah, Rham was asleep at the wheel getting on the ball.

They had success because they let Zappe go PA on 1st-down and ran the ball from a shotgun spread look. Patricia was doing his best McD impression early on with those repeated 1st-down runs from compressed formations, into a defense with 10 players between the hashes, within 7 yards of the LOS...

Don't read too much into this meme, I mean nothing by it. Just found it very amusing.

Agreed Vilma was on the mark. I was thinking throughout the game, "who is this color guy? I need to look it up". Later found out during the broadcast it was Vilma. The only thing he said a couple times that I disagreed with was that Harris and Rham are similar styles of RB. Don't agree with...

Bryce Young is probably the toughest player in college football. Incredible fortitude, mentally and physically.

Some are. Caveating Zappe’s performance by saying he was given a limited game-plan and was one-read and done. I don’t see it; he made a full-field read. He was calling out free rushers at the LOS. He was changing the play pre-snap. He threw 21 passes. It was nothing like the Brissett game plan...

Jones doesn’t need excuses made for him in the form of offensive coaching. He’s just made some bad decisions with the ball this season. I’m sure there’s been an adjustment period but he can be better. I was impressed with Zappe in his one start. I think he quarterbacked a darn good game and I...
