So not as bad as Fields pick 6 but still pretty bad? Got it.
i haven't watched the game but I'll take your word.
Wasnt as bad as fields throw simply because it wasn't returned for 6 but it was a bad throw with no velocity outside the numbers. That one was bad, but his other pick was horrendous. Inside the RedZone and the LB was just standing there.
Really mediocre game at best but we also have to remember he is a rookie and he's going to have this. He has been insulated from this type of performance due to pats excellent D and running game.
The key for Mac moving forward is how will he do next year after a years worth of film is out there for the league. Will he take that next step? We will see.
Pats are in a bit of trouble here as I think they are going to lose to the bills this week. They also have a tough game against a red hot dolphins team in the final week. They really need Mac to play turnover free football. If he plays like he did against the colts, they may find themselves on the outside looking in for the playoffs.
