Welcome to week 3 in the League. The opening matchup between the Jets and Patriots is only of real interest to people living in The City as Aaron Rodgers plays in the home opener for the Jets. Like most games I only have a rooting interest in the few white players allowed on the field for these two teams. Hoping to see Aaron have a big game in front of the Jet DWFs.

Yea not much in this one to look for. Rodgers of course but then hoping TEs Conklin and Henry have big games for each team. Defense is just a total blackout.

Hoping Rodgers shakes the rust and goes north of 200 and throws a couple TDs. He could use a sure handed Slot WR in Renfrow! But it seems Hunter has been caste away.

Also hoping McGregor somehow gets some PT for Jets coal D.

Aaron looking sharp. Wish there was more on this team to root for but Rodgers alone makes NYJ more palatable than the Ravens, Browns, Dolphins, and some of the other AFC contenders. The success of Rodgers in his 40s would be a direct affront to the quota push among younger QBs.

Agree. He’s hit Conklin and Ruckert twice so far as well.

I didn't stay up to watch the end of the game, but it looks like he did ok driving the Pats down to the Jets 7 yard line. Coach Mayo opted to let the clock run out since it was a blowout rather than give Maye another chance to either score or be pummelled behind the Patriots' sorry offensive line.

Brissett managed a whopping 98 yards passing in this one. He's not starting QB material, but like others have said, I'd rather he take the beating this season while Maye learns.

I found it funny Kraft tabbed Mayo as his DEI coach hire of the future, he even took him on a trip to Israel last summer, lol. Rabbi Al mentioned it in waning moments of the game, er butt whooping.

It’s looking more and more like Brady was the engine to those Patriots Dynasties. Is it even really a question anymore!?

I totally agree. Pats are an awful team. Let Brisset take all the lumps while Maye sits back and learns. Would be nice if the Pats drafted LSU LT Will Campbell next year. Alt has been a real tone setter already on the Chargers OL.

How can Maye learn from a crap QB like Brisset? I also think that any QB will get crushed every game with N\the Patriots sumo line acting like the swiss cheese they are...

Sit on the bench, learn the offensive system from the coordinator, take reps in practice and develop. Pats need to address the o-line and actually add some skill position players to the roster before putting Maye out their.

Rooting for Dalton to have a big game tomorrow as the narrative with the Panthers is currently that there is not enough around Bryce Young. Dalton played well last year in his only start of the season.

Besides this, Brissett is a professional non-ghetto player. He's no Alex Smith, but there are still things that a kid coming out of college can learn even from him.

Brisset isn’t very good, but I can’t recall an tnb from him. He will help Maye learn the ropes. The fact is that if the Patriots don’t whiten up the o-line and skill players Maye will suffer a similar fate as Mac Jones did.

Bo Nix 4/4 for 70 yards on the first drive and just ran one in, great to see him get off to a good start in this one

Levis and Darnold with TD passes, the White QBs the media and DWFs want to fail are starting fast

44 yard catch by Pierce, third straight game with big plays by him.

Alec Pierce with a 44 yard catch. Taven Bryan with a rare sack for the otherwise coal Colts defense. Overall they are much more palatable than the Black Bears.

Edit: Then Richardson throws a pick in the redzone.

Edit II: Next possession Caleb Fingernails throws an interception. This game is really revolutionary.

McConkey 2/26 in the first half, also had a nice catch and run wiped out by a penalty. Herbert is playing with a high ankle sprain and has only thrown one incompletion so far.
