Panthers win! This is shaping up to be a great day for our draft position

Sell. Sell.  Sell!

Sadly, probably can’t sell Bourne unless the knee injury is minor. Missing the rest of the game makes that seem unlikely.  On the plus side, if he’s out for a while, may help Pats lose in their lighter stretch upcoming.

2-15!  Let’s go!

Next 5 games are Commanders, Colts (@Germany), @Giants, Chargers, @Steelers

Interested to see how they do. The schedule does actually get soft over the next 6 weeks, probably not that it matters much now. Losing Bourne potentially for some time is really rough.

Their D kept letting them down on 3rd down, Miami converting those 3rd and longs were a killer

Every time they had a 3rd and 9 or 3rd and 14, you just felt they'd convert, OR they'd pick up a chunk easily and then just go for it on a 4th and short. Brutal.

Anyways, Pats now have the #3 pick in the Draft btw

They gonna go 0-5. If they can't even beat teams like the Saints and Raiders etc, then I've lost hope for them. For sure the Chargers eviscerating this team in Foxboro (finally).

I hope they go 0-5. They are in play for a true difference maker in the draft. Limping into a "near" playoff spot is the worst possible scenario. I wouldn't be shocked if they went 2-3 over this stretch and hurt their draft odds.

#Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne tore his ACL, source says. Frustrating end to a promising season for the veteran receiver.

I really hope they lose the rest of the way. I know that teams don't want to build losing habits, but this team is already built toward losing, so they might as well.

For this season, yeah, they need to lose the rest of the way. Get the best prospect in the draft. We need a reliable QB.

Any wins accomplishes nothing other than helping other teams out with playoff rankings and matchups for other teams...no don't do them any services.

This only works if Belichick is gone. I don’t want him anywhere near a top 10 QB pick. He”ll ruin him just like he ruined Jones. What good is it to have a top 10 QB pick when you have no clue on offense? That’s part of the reason why he has to go.

All starts with the O-line. Rookie QB is going to get ruined unless they put some serious money into that line.

Knowing Billy B the GM, he'll flip those picks to draft defense or special teams, or over-trade for a defensive player on the decline.

Yeah I'm officially done. I'm all aboard the tank train.

And Mac Jones probably isn't the guy, but guess what, neither is Belichick anymore. PLEASE get rid of him. He's actively sabotaging this team both as coach AND GM. Wasn't the benefit of Belichick the special teams, fundamentals and beating up on meh teams? Well that's all gone now too. It's been 4 years since Brady and there's no improvement anywhere. Enough.

Mac has his flaws but even in the 2nd half, he made some good throws to Reagor and JuJu that they just flat out dropped (one leading to an INT). Our "weapons" are atrocious, yet Belichick keeps benching Boutte too in favor of JuJu...  >:(
