Patriots 2026-2027 Season

[Billz401]

Not even putting that 2nd INT on Maye. Incredible defensive play by the safety and it's not like our WRs can do anything downfield to get open anyways. Garbage group

Not watching at home so I only saw the limited replay they showed, but from what I saw he got his right foot in twice but never his left. NFL rule is both feet inbounds not 1 foot twice. Did I miss something?

I thought the same thing. Also wasn?t too happy with the DI call on Gonzo on his INT.  I also expected the Pats challenge to be good on the catch at the three. Looked like it hit the ground and moved.

Yeah the Pats are doing a good enough job burying themselves, we dont need the refs to pile on. It feels like they have made the wrong call 5+ times. The ball definitely hit the ground and moved and the PI was weak. The first Golden catch on the sidelines he bobbled the ball and it shouldve been incomplete

The Lions offense is also gonna absolutely shred this defense next week in Germany

[Phantom255x]

Not saying to just dump them for mere 6th/7th round picks, but if teams are willing to give up some value for them, I'd be fine selling Barmore, Davis, Henderson, etc. A few weeks ago I would have disagreed but now I'm okay with it. Don't buy either

[Billz401]

Probably the most overrated defense in the league. Last in the league in zone coverage and when we play man we got Gonzo lined up 15 yards off the line of scrimmage and the offense just playing catch in a walk through. Gonzo might be the worst contract in the league

Think it might be time to start looking for a new direction, new voice...Coach Vrabel isn't getting it done and his offseason shenanigans didn't help either whether it's with Dianna Russini or pushing to trade for AJ Brown

This game is making it look like we actually fought hard in the Jaguars one

The team this season looks no better than the team under Mayo. Vrabel has earned a little more time. But it looks really bad right now.

I know Drake has the 3 picks but i thinks hes had 3 clean pockets all game, this line is held together with scotch tape and have no clue what they are doing. Tired of seeing the 3 interior linemen standing looking at each other wondering who to block while Drake has 2 guys wrapped around his waist, TB12 would be looking terrible too with that protection

Yeah I can accept people blaming the roster, Vrabel, etc. But I will fight anyone who tells me it's Maye's fault. Yes, he was terrible the first month and has had some bad turnovers. He's also literally the only reason they are in some of these games and the only reason our team has a chance at accomplishing something in future years. He has the tools and ability, and arm talent. This isn't like when we had Mac/Zappe/Brissett/Newton, etc. You'll always have a chance with Maye at QB.

Problem is, the defense sucks and our roster is either poorly built or dealing with a ton of injuries. O-line is not good enough and some of our guys are already out or missing time (Vera-Tucker, Onwenu, etc.)

[Neurotic Guy]

O-line is awful and more injuries every week. WR 1 and 2 also out. Not that it would make much of a difference in today?s game but never should have traded Boutte. Maye made a couple of bad throws but I agree he?s what has them sitting with a winning record despite all the offensive injuries. Probably be without Rhamondre next week.  Disappointing showing by the secondary. Gonzo was targeted from the start and failed. 

Awful game with one of the worst starts ever.

Vrabs went with zone coverage and paid the price. This has happened several times this year. I don?t think Gonzo got burned once when they were playing man coverage.

Caleb Williams is playing better than Drake May at the present time.

[Billz401]

Caleb Williams is playing better than Drake May at the present time.

You sure about that? 4 interceptions and only put up 2 TDs. Oh but wait he actually has a defense who got stops and scored a touchdown themselves. They just barely won that game.

Im interested to see the narrative tomorrow because im sure they'll act like Drake played so poorly that the Pats couldnt overcome it while they praise Caleb for getting the win

[SparzWizard]

After half the season, the Patriots are 5-4.

Remaining schedule:
@ DET (Germany)
BYE
@ LAC
vs BUF
vs MIN
@ KC
@ NYJ
vs DEN
vs MIA

My predictions:
-Detroit's offense is similar to GB, probably a tad bit better. With no offense and defense is abysmal, expect a brutal Pats L here.
-Somehow the Pats will find a way to lose the bye week with someone else getting injured. After all, the Pats have the most players on IR in the entire league.
-This @LAC game looks like a trap game. They're still winless. I think the Pats drop this one because they're due for one of these games.
-Home date against the Bills; easy blowout win for Buffalo.
-Home against Minnesota; will be one of those Seattle/Bears game where we hang around but completely fold at the end.
-@KC...gonna be a massacre at Arrowhead again done by KC.
-@Jets, they're more competent nowadays but this will be one of those where the Pats grind it out and win by a field goal.
-Home against Denver. Another good AFC team; something that the Pats struggle putting away. Expect an L here for the home team.
-Finale: Miami coming to town; I sure hope the Pats take care of business this game.

Looks like the team is going 2-6 to finish the season, and some of the coaches will need to start packing their bags.

Wow that was a shellacking. Injuries piling up.
