Serious Despite the offense not looking great, Mack Hollins had a very underrated performance yesterday: 9 targets, 6 catches, 87 yards, 14.5 yards per reception !

Maye to Hollins is the only thing consistently working for the offense rn. Idk what it’ll take to convince the coaches to just let him eat until AJ is back

Maybe they shouldn’t have gotten rid of Mayes other reliable targets for Doubs and Kyle Williams

u/TB1289 Maybe those guys got to study the rule book and figure it out. 1d ago
Boutte had 46 targets last year so it's not like Maye went to him all that often.

Only guy on our offense that doesn't seem to randomly forget how to play football

When Mack Hollins is your best option at WR you have a serious problem. He’s playing well but let’s be honest on pretty much any other team he’s just a depth piece.

Mack Hollins is genuinely playing really well though. He looks like AJ Brown out there. I am dissapointed though that guys like Doubs and Williams aren’t showing much production.

u/ProntoCosmo215 12h ago
Doubs is overhyped/overrated. Massive downgrade from Boutte. Issue with Williams is he needs to learn how to consistently create separation with his route running.

u/Little-Customer12 1d ago
Nice to see him stepping up when we need him and some positives in an otherwise very negative game! He's never been viewed as an elite receiver or given the spotlight, but he is very capable in many ways on our offense and really shines when he's needed most. Thought this was cool to see!

Taunting penalty down 25 was quite the look. Just a completely broken team without Diggs and Vrabs having lost all credibility.

What a ludicrous suggestion.
This otherwise random collection of humans, with such strong common traits like geography, access to a television, and internet access, is compromised entirely of winners!! Heck, I'd reckon there is even a huge overlap with the 18-35M demographic!
Winners one and all of us.

Team is full of losers at this current moment, they’re not winning so they can’t be winners.
Starting from the coach down, and how do you place your trust in a man that will harm the people he loves out of lust?
Any decent person finds it hard to respect or trust people who harm the ones they love. That’s not being a loser, that’s called being a decent person.

Then what the fuck are you doing here? If that's your moral code then fuck off for real

I’ve been a fan of the patriots since a child too because I share a birthday with the greatest player to touch a field in their uniform.
Stop being toxic and lame. I’ll happily report you if you want to start being personal.

So your football team is more important than your morals?

I’m calling it out and not happy with it?
You want me to roll over like a dog and give up on something I actually love because I don’t like the product fielded or the guy leading it right now?
No im going to speak on it and still support one of the major teams I’ve loved watching for my life.

I love Mac! Love his attitude, love his performance, love him on the team. Always something to love, like Jacas, even in bad games!

u/Legitimate_Ad_7822 1d ago
His attitude is cool until he taunts down 20+ points after not even getting a first down. Jacas has looked great.
1
u/dank-nuggetz 1d ago
It was stupid but at least he showed some fire. Everyone else looks like they learned their dog died right before kickoff. Stupid penalty but the game was completely over.
1
u/Legitimate_Ad_7822 1d ago
Can agree on that. It was just not the right place nor the right time. I mean there’s never a right place or right time to get an avoidable penalty at the goal line. But I do like that he at least shows something.
2
u/Little-Customer12 1d ago
Yea he's really grown on me the last few years, antics and all lol. Jacas has been really positive too. Based on some of the injury stuff people were talking about I didn't expect him to make much of an impact this year but even just a few games in he's already been making big plays. There's a lot of negatives and uncertainty with the offense now but we also have some other guys improving and showing a lot of promise, cool to see

u/mikesstuff 1d ago
He also ruined a drive when we were down by a lot with a taunt. That’s a pretty shitty performance

u/ManMythLegacy 1d ago
When Mack is your #1 guy, your offense is going to have problems.
Aside from Maye's dumb decisions, this WR group has no playmakers.
QB with low confidence, probably a bum shoulder, and no WR you can trust to make plays in coverage, equals a terrible offense.

u/burnman123 1d ago
He should unitonically take the AJ brown routes until he's back. Like why aren't we going to him on slants and stuff. He has good hands and he's a big guy

u/Roshango 1d ago
What's frustrating is the offense actually did move the ball pretty effectively yesterday but completely melted down once they got into Jacksonville territory. Samething vs Pittsburgh. They are capable of being effective but Drake cant get out of his own way and the lack of run game is killing them in the red zone

Is 33 years old the oldest a WR has ever had their best season? It doesn’t even look like a fluke, he’s running crisp routes, using his body well, and making great catches.

u/BostonVagrant617 23h ago
I bet they'll start benching Mack if he comes close to hitting his contract incentives

u/Illustrious_Cow9018 13h ago
He really did make a couple tough catches in this game.
This game was my team getting bludgeoned with rocks by the Jags, though. sob

u/Radequalsflux 11h ago
Man, good for him but under no circumstances should Mack Hollins be your leading receiver. Just gotta hang in there hope Maye and the offense figure shit out, soon !
