Official NE Patriots Discussion Thread, 2022.

[George Cumby]

Sorry, Joe.

But it just came out Mac Jones has a high ankle sprain.

Gonna' be a tough day for Hoyer.

The last time the Packers faced a Patriots team without Tom Brady was 1997. Packers are 6-6 all-time vs Patriots, 5-6 in regular season, 1-0 in Superb Owls.

ONCE UPON A TIME I was criticized for nothing that the starting QB we're facing, Bryan Hoyer, was better than Matt the Legend Flynn many many many years ago

I never thought Hoyer was really any good.............but.................Where the Hell is Matt Flynn ??????

Quarterback controversy!

That helmet... Clearly Randall Cobb clearly wants a QB change.

Going to the game this weekend. What are some kid friendly things to do in Green Bay on a Saturday before a game?

Wallbangers, circa, 2009 at the Packerrats meetup game: Where’s the booze, Mary Jane and strippers?

Wallbangers in 2022: Any kid-friendly PG activities to pass the time?

Dude, you’re getting old and uncool.

I like this article comparing Rodgers and Brady from this past week.

I think he had the Tommy John injury or something with his elbow that wrecked his arm? Flynn is happily retired and occasionally pops up on social media etc.

Brian Hoyer was a good backup ... 3-5 years ago. I think he backed up the Bears one year and the Packers beat him then? (looks up stats) Yep, in 2016. He's a 59% career passer, although he;s throw about 100 passes in the last 4 seasons. He'll be well prepared by Belichick, but he's a 37 year old backup.

Losing Mac Jones hurts them, but this NE team is not as dangerous as the Brady-Belichick ones. Their offense is a mess right now as they are still working thru post-McDaniels changes and at least three coaches collaborating to tinker with the offense. Devante Parker played good vs. BAL and they have a good run game, but their defense is a step or two down from Tampa's. If the GB defense plays with momentum from the TB game this should be a win.

IOW:
best case: GB's run game gets going, Watson gets his first TD, defense shuts down Harris-Stevenson duo and pressures Hoyer into Lake Michigan.
worst case: GB comes out flat, NE plays the fired up/desperate underdog role with Belichick coming up with inspired defense against a ho-hum Rodgers, MLF ignores the run game, and two of Hoyer/Parker/Harris/Stevenson go off.

After the MIN game I wasn't sure about this one, but from what I've seen/read of NE and with Jones out this is less of a concern unless GB comes out flat at home.
Packers were heavy favorites when the betting lines opened, I don't think they will change much. GB should win.

Bretsky, you have been talking about "Hoody Genius" for years and years. But there's your genius's record since Brady left. 18 - 18. And worked the draft two years ago in his geniusy way to get the QB he wanted. So . . . is he still a genius to you?

Maybe you should invite Harv and the kids to your workplace so you can teach the kids how to flip burgers for minimum wage. Just as long as you explain to them it's not something they should aspire to do for the rest of their freakin' existence.

I like this idea. Even better: invite the strippers to help the kids flip burgers. See how that goes. Maybe they'll notice your delegation and training skills and promote you.

I actually don't mind the Mac Jones pick, but Hoody is a little strange with the draft. Cole Strange in R1 was a reach by everyone's standards but his, apparently. Maybe he'll pan out, who knows. How many Offensive Guards taken in R1 have panned out in the last 10 years?
