Patriots QB Mac Jones.....INJURED....Week 1

[Chicoman]

Apparently Mac Jones suffered a back injury but X-rays were negative. Puts his availability for Week 2 @ Steelers in question!

Brian Hoyer & Bailey Zappe are the backups!

beat them and then sell them rudolph. A double win

 

[Steeler Pride]

Lol, we ALWAYS make back up qbs look like A combination of Unitas and Montana.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Doesn’t matter. They still have the tapes and since MT hasn’t change ****, follow the tape

beat them and then sell them rudolph. A double win

Weren’t they shopping Isaiah Wynn?
If so Rudy for Wynn let’s make it happen

 

[Shane Falco]

Crap. Back up quarterbacks gash the Steelers all the time.

 

[Steeltime]

Hope Mac Jones is healthy since I don't think he is very good. Benefited from a really good running game and a microwaved-butter soft schedule beginning of 2021, looked pretty ****** last 6 or 7 games, playoffs and week 1.

I think Mac is pretty good, but the pats just dont have much offensive talent. He was 21/30 no INTs, but did have a fumble. We should be able to hang w/ the pats even w/o watt.

It's the coaching mis-match I worry about against the pats*. Talent on the field has always been in our favor.

Hope are pass rush without TJ can brinf the rush Hoyer is smart back up but thier WR suck, Could be ashutout old schhol 17-0 type for us

 

[Steel Reign]

I hope Mac is ok. When we play backup QBs they always seem to have the most amazing games of their career.

He had an interception. Over his last 9 regular season games and the playoff game, he is 174-266, 1913 yards, 7.2 YPA, 12 TD's, 9 Int. That's a QB rating of 87.5. His passer rating opening day? 87.2.

He's a younger Mitchell Trubisky.

I hope Mac is alright. I can only imagine a back injury will linger for quite awhile.

The Steelers defense will feast if Hoyer is under center.

 

[BLITZ]

I just want to start 2 and 0.

 

[Steeltime]

The Steelers defense will feast if Hoyer is under center.

I am still traumatized from watching Bruce Gradkowski throw for 308 yards and 3 TD's, all in the 4th quarter, to beat the Steelers.
