“Unwatchable and Irrelevant”- Patriots’ fans disgusted after Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe’s disappointing performance against Giants
The Patriots struggles at the QB position continues.

It is safe to say that the New England Patriots are in full tanking mode. The team has managed to lose to the New York Giants due to a missed field goal attempt. The team’s record is now 2-9 on the season and the one key takeaway from this game was that the team does not have a starting quarterback.
Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe are not the answer. The duo had more turnovers than touchdowns and continued to dig their team down the ditch.
Bill Belichick was reluctant to name a starting QB before the commencement of the game, while Mac Jones ultimately started for the team, it did not go well. By halftime, he had thrown for 89 yards and had two interceptions. That was it for him. He was benched for the remainder of the game and Bailey Zappe was thrust into action.

Things still did not get better for New England as despite the QB setting the team up for their only touchdown drive of the game, he threw an interception as well. It was not easy to watch. All week long, the Patriots have made it clear that both Bailey Zappe and Mac Jones were given an equal amount of reps in practice, but neither of them was able to make an effective mark in the game.
Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe combined for 3 interceptions
The New England Patriots will finish this season with a losing record for the third time in the last four years. To make matters worse for the team, they had a shot to tie the game up in the final moments, but kicker Chad Ryland ended up missing a 35-yard game-tying field goal attempt. That was it for the team. New England has just struggled all season long and things do not seem to be getting any better.

The team does have a good chance to land a top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and Belichick should already be looking at which QB the team ought to draft. Here’s how fans reacted to the team’s 9th loss of the season.

If the New England Patriots were a school, then they are proving that it is the teacher, and not the principal, that gets the results.

The New England Patriots have not been the same since they lost Tom Brady as their QB. The team is left with no option but to rely on a top prospect in the upcoming draft to bring an end to its woes.
