**Washington at New England** (-2.5, 40.5) 1:00 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Ministry of Pain
- Start date
Maybe a minority opinion, but I am blown away NE is favored here. I think Washington wins pretty convincingly.
For New England, I'll be really curious to see what waiver wire sensation Douglas does, because I think Washington loads up on the run and dares Mac Jones to beat them. I know Young and Sweat are gone, but Allen and Payne are still there.
For Washington, this feels like a McLaurin breakout game. I also wouldn't be surprised if Crowder had another nice game in him. Pats pass rush isn't the same without Judon.
I've got Washington winning 27-14.

They're on the road and they just did a couple of dump trades. It's not a shock to me that they are underdogs. But I could see them winning. Hard to know what to expect from either team this year.

NE one of my fav plays today. Wash has allowed big games to Fields and Ridder, think Mac has a good one also.

A fair number of players and the entire coaching staff of Washington are playing for their jobs next year. I've got no idea how they'll show today. Washington D usually gives up a lot of points, so their offense is required to score a lot (which they often manage). I don't think I'd start anyone on Washington's offense today except Howell and maybe McLaurin.
In about 4-1/2 hours this post will probably have aged horribly.

The exact same thing can be said about the Pats.

Awful throw by Mac. Had Thornton open on 4th down.

Awful throw by Mac to a wide open Thornton. Killed the drive and just demonstrates how poor Mac's throws can be.

Can’t believe NE has stuck w Mac. He’s not good.
Boston

Unfortunately there is no plan B this year...there better be another plan A next year.

He's not great, they also surrounded him with terrible weapons and dopey OCs.

I am not ready to say Mac is good, but I like to see a season of him with a weapon for him to go to. His WR core got to be one of, if not the worst in the league.

BB got to be done at years end.. He looks like he has no interest when they show him on the sideline.
Boston
Footballguy
I do understand that because he has been hungout to dry but I am 100% ready to move on from him...his best-case scenario is nothing special...he just isn't athletic enough for today's game and his arm strength cannot overcome that...I also don't think he has the type of personality you want in your QB/leader...you will always have a ceiling as a team if he is your starter.

Getting vastly outplayed at home by a quasi-tanking team. How much more can Kraft take?

Ron Rivera fired before year end. Odds set at 100%

Jalen Reagor getting into the action as well.

Now imagine sitting ina n office designing a play to a slowish TE with 170 pound WRs blocking for him behind the line of scrimmage. And nobody raised their hand and said this might not be a good idea
karl.Racki

At times he looks so good, but other times he looks like he shouldn't even be in the NFL.

Howell has some rookie brett Favre in him. Sadly that includes the part that throws it to a guy covered by 4 defenders. He better somehow evolve because the tools are there. No idea what he sees sometimes.
Boston
Footballguy
Agree with this and with Racki...there are some legit physical tools there...that last play is indefensible at the Pop Warner level...it still seems odd that in today's NFL a QB with these skills lasted until the 5th round...he looks worth developing but that nonsense needs to get cleaned up really quickly.

Once again, a terrible roughing the passer flag thrown by the 2023 NFL officials.

That might be the worst roughing call I have seen this year

"Sam - don't throw another pick. " Throws 2 straight out of endzone. WOuld have been a good time for EB to run it so his QB wasn't playing scared.
