NFL notes: The Patriots have failed Mac Jones, but they need quarterback to save them anyway
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 21:07:42 GMT
The worst loss of the Bill Belichick era fell squarely on Mac Jones.Two of his turnovers led directly to 15 Cowboys points last weekend. The Pats scored three. That was it.Here’s what’s happened since.Jones’ performance eroded the faith certain members of the organization had in their quarterback, according to Boston Sports Journal. In a mid-week interview, Julian Edelman blasted Jones and claimed he’s not developing fast enough for the Patriots’ liking. Michael Lombardi, a former Patriots executive and longtime Bill Belichick confidant, ripped Jones for having a sweet tooth for turnovers and lacking any ability to lead his team to a comeback win.Bottom line: it was a bad week to be Mac Jones.On Wednesday, Jones admitted he tried to play outside the structure of Bill O’Brien’s system against the Cowboys. Translation: he forced the issue.Why would Jones force the issue? Well, he has to.Jones’ failures are not mutually exclusive from O...Hamas says it is holding dozens of Israeli soldiers captured in surprise incursion

JERUSALEM (AP) — Without warning on Saturday, Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers attacked Israel by air, land and sea. Millions of Israelis in the country’s south awoke to the searing sound of incoming rockets and the inevitable thud of impact. Air raid sirens wailed as far north as Tel Aviv. Israel’s anti-rocket interceptors thundered in Jerusalem. And in an unprecedented escalation, armed Hamas fighters blew up parts of Israel’s highly fortified separation fence and strode into Israeli communities along the Gaza frontier, terrorizing residents and trading fire with Israeli soldiers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right allies were scrambling to respond to the rapidly changing events. Within just nine hours, some 40 Israelis and nearly 200 Palestinians were confirmed dead, with the numbers expected to rise.Here are some key takeaways from the multi-pronged attack that has suddenly plunged Israel into war.ISRAEL CAUGHT UNAWARE The shock that ...An Egyptian appeals court upholds a 6-month sentence against a fierce government critic

He was also convicted of verbally assaulting a police officer.Kassem was sentenced last month to six months in prison and fined 20,000 Egyptian pounds (around $647), according to Hossam Bahgat, head of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, which represents Kassem before the court.He appealed the sentence at the court of appeals which confirmed the verdict on Saturday, Bahgat said.Kassem, who for decades ran a series of news outlets that helped keep alive pockets of independent free press in Egypt, was arrested in August after prosecutors questioned him about accusations leve...Atkins calls Schneider’s decision to pull Berrios ‘courageous’, says manager will be back in 2024

The right-hander had thrown only 47 pitches and had struck out five batters before being replaced by lefty Yusei Kikuchi.The Twins went on to win the game 2-0, eliminating the Jays from the American League wild-card series in two straight games.During a season-ending address at Rogers Centre on Saturday, Atkins admitted that he was surprised by the move and threw cold water on a theory that the decision was influenced by the Jays’ front office.The Blue Jays’ general manager praised Schneider’s decision to pull Berrios as “courageous” and stated that it was not the reason Toronto lost the game.Atkins also confirmed that Schneider will return to manage the team in 2024 but that cha...Rioter who attacked Capitol with tomahawk and threw makeshift weapons at police gets 7 years in prison

The brown marmorated stink bug. Aptly named, the invasive stink bug has already been found in much of the U.S., and is now trying to find its way into homes nationwide before winter sets in. It has been here since first being discovered in Pennsylvania — much like another invasive species officials are asking people to kill — in the mid-1990s, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. As of 2021, the stink bug had been reported in every state but Alaska, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
