If there is any part in the schedule for Jaire to miss, it's the next handful of games. GB really needs to clean house these next few weeks. Mac-less Patriots at home, both the tragic New York Football teams, and Washington

Mac Jones messed up his ankle late vs. the Ravens. Wasn't putting pressure on that leg. Doubt he plays. 

Watched the replay. Pretty hard and direct hit on than ankle and he immediately came up hopping. Think he’ll be out a while.

Yah think you are exactly right on that.  Hope no one else goes down in the secondary or we'll be in trouble.

pfft, Kevin King is still available, although his number isn't.

And the great equalizer......... Carson Wentz.

If JA is out...I honestly wouldn't mind bringing back King.  But...he's playing behind Nixon.

[mikebpackfan]

SJC has looked reasonably competent.  If Nixon continues his good play, I don’t see the panic at CB (yet).

Looks like we'll face Hoyer or Zappe.

Hoping it's Hoyer! Zappe looks like he has some skills. Hoyer is a JAG and as long as Barry doesn't play soft, we would get some turnovers out of Hoyer. 

Whoever is the QB, expect a whole lot of 3 yards and a cloud of dust this week.

Definitely makes it easier from a defensive standpoint. MLF got to exorcise one demon in TB, if he can beat Bellicheck and the Pats he’ll have a second. I know he was HC for some bad losses here, but losing that SB after going up 28-3 has got to haunt him no matter what he says in public. We saw that LaFluer lull this last game.  Coach needs to show he can counterpunch when the defense switches up. We might have enough talent to roll these Pats but BB will be pushing his defense to try to steal a win. Let’s get some home cooking going and not let up til the game clock hits zero.

Agree with almost all of this except for the bit about his responsibility for the Falcons 28-3 blown lead against the Patriots.  He was merely the QB coach on that team and had no play calling or game management responsibility whatsoever for that one.

Fair enough.  He was still there to watch his offense get completely derailed and the Pats to make an insane comeback. He bears some responsibility but not the same as the OC and of course the D for blowing that lead. I’m just saying for a a guy who preaches all gas, no f’n brake his offense stalls out too often. There are many factors, the biggest one being it’s hard to win in the NFL but he’s got to show more now and in the postseason.
 

These next few games might be our best chance to get right, but any of the teams are capable of an upset.  I hope we’re heading into Buffalo with a good looking record, but just as importantly with a battle tested team that has its identity sorted out.

Myers had cramps in his calf. They were rubbing it on the field and on the sidelines. I think he won't even be on the injury report. 

Thanks, Old Guy.  I view Myers as a huge variable for how the line goes.  Very important piece for the inside-run game, and obviously pass protection too.  And the difference to Hanson might be pretty substantial.  So, I'll be really glad if you're right and he's fine.  

I also feel like *IF* they could keep the same main line together for a while, that could help a lot.

Jacob Morley -    Mac Jones had targeted receivers 20+ yards down the field 20 times - completing 10. 20 attempts is first in the NFL after three weeks - NE has really wanted to push the ball. It will be interesting if that trend continues with Hoyer.
