Bill is the best football mind most of us have ever seen. These morons who say he’s had nothing to do with it aren’t paying attention to the rest of his career. He’s the best
“What is this Valentine’s Day?” 😂 Perfect!
I can’t listen to ponytail. He’s like Evan Roberts – an authority on nothing
Who cares, *NE isn't what they were with Brady (real GOAT) not Belicheat. Welcome to the Bills world pre Josh Allen, aka 7-10, 8-9.
Loll people dissecting tiny question answers is the only thing they can get from camp in foxboro lmao
Coach sound like he hating on coach Bill.. Bill created the whole Patriots culture.
Belecik shoukd be on the hot seat because HE’S the one who said to let Tom Brady walk, which was and is the dumbest football decision in history.. THATS WHY, lol getting rid of Tom Brady and having him win a superbowl the following year and playing at a high level only shows how bad he is as an evaluator and how his ego got in the way of a sound football decision.. lol stupid organization for allowing him to do that, hopefully Brady turns his back on you all for the ultimate disrespect
Mangini wants a job in NE so bad.
Man-gina's opinion on Belichick is irrelevant
Zappe, is a smart and steady, good QB in the pocket. He's also humble and doesn't wine, like a entitled woman, when stuff doesn't go his way.. He does not "panic" like Jones does, when he gets bum rushed and pressure.
Anyone who has paid any attention to pats training camp knows there is no qb comp. Mac has been given all of the 1st team reps and has handled the job much better than zappe so far against the 1st team defense.
Pats fan here… I like Mac, but unless he has a stellar, breakout season and rebound from last year, I think he’ll eventually be benched in favor of Zappe. I don’t care who our QB is, as long as we win games that’s all that matters.
That and take Bill out of the GM position. Let him do what he knows how to do, and that is “coach”. Ever since he became GM after Nick Caserio left, things have been awful.
Funny it's OK for Mac Jones to be hurt amd talk about it, but not ok for rodgers to be hurt in wilds eyes. Only ok if it's his team.
I love Mangini being so eager to put dirt on Bill’s grave, the hate is real.
Without Bill Belichick there’s no such thing as “Patriot football” their trophy room would still be empty without Belichick. If Kraft fires Belichick he might as well start digging his own grave an hop on in cause that team will be 10X worse than the worst it’s ever been with Belichick.
I dont even like the Pats but i just KNOW Wildes is gnna be hilarious in this segment 😂😂😂
This is click bait for the rest of the AFC East…. Anyone paying attention to training camp knows that Mac is getting ALL the reps with the 1’s and Bailey is working with the 2’s and 3’s. None of the local writers believes there is a competition. Mac is the starting Quarterback and it’s not close.
You can tell Nick wasn't an athlete. Dork
Eagles, Jets, Dolphins, Cowboys defenses out of the gate? Mac Jones is going to need a shrink and a priest by Columbus Day.
I love this show
I am glad somebody brought Tomlin into this because he's obviously a great coach, but has not been able to put it all together for a few years. It's not easy to rebuild after losing a franchise QB and some great receivers, people. In NE they not only lost all the great players but they had a massive brain trust exit with coaches and personnel people. When all that happens in a couple of years and the fan, like you, expects that Bill will magically rebuild the team overnight, it's the fan that's failing. What do you think Andy Reid wins this year if Chris Jones sits out and he loses Mahomes to IR? Come on, use your head, it doesn't reflect on Reid as a HC.
Mac gets ALL the first team reps. Patriots Haters: There’s a controversy! It’s a competition!
Tomlin has been improving every year since Big Ben left. Drafting well, a lot of young talent. BB has been drafting horribly and NE is progressively getting worse.
How y’all know Mac Jones don’t got they/them pronouns?
lol the standard in tom brady, not an excellence standard for a patriots organization who were an afterthought up until tom got there
Bill ain’t going nowhere
The way Mangini talks…like his delivery….he shouldn't EVER get another coaching job. Sooooooooooooooooooo fire Bill and then whats the standard? Don't think Andy Reid is coming to New England…..so who will usher in the new era of winning?
Sooooooooooooooooooo robert Kraft set the standard for winning…Eric shut up!!
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Zappe start some time this season. I really don’t see much of a difference between Zappe and Mac.
Mac had 26 interceptable throws as a rookie and 3 elite throws. On percentage his elite throw percentage is the worst since 2020 Tua and 2015 Peyton. He was bad as a rookie. The playcaller just masked it. He can't make throws Colt McCoy can't
Coach rides for the patriot way lol
Switching around Zap or Mac is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic moments before it hit the Iceberg.
This guy Nick 😭. Bros acting like Belichick has to lay out the red carpet for Mac Jones. No, Mac needs to earn his spot.
