[@johnenterkin1200]

They got man handled by the JETS last night. The evaluation of talent over the last 5 years has sucked!

[@arthasmenethil4297]

Longer than that.

[@ronmurray7349]

Except the Punter he will be All Pro.

[@firstclass7918]

I usually take it easy but they deserve everything coming from the media today

[@Benjam311]

I'm more pissed about them trotting Drake Maye out there behind a sieve of an o-line during garbage time once everybody had already turned the TV off, than I am of how bad their o-line looks. That was a demoralizing loss, very hard to watch.

[@Benjam311]

Dante Scarneccia is at some tiki bar somewhere just shaking his head seeing this crap.

[@tonytheg6612]

@@dokedoker3340I’m sure he was first ever series in the NFL regular season game, those nerves will fade as he gets more comfortable, I don’t mind him playing at all.

[@thebrainsack]

If you’re still set on protecting maye this year, at least put in Milton. He can escape more pressure and get it downfield.

[@EastieRick]

This is not backyard football they mostly don’t understand Pro Defenses. Jacoby is a vet and he’s having a hard time getting going with this crappy team.

[@jaguarsfoot346]

Hell yeah he can at least run. I mean zone read with him and Stevenson would be good. No defense fears Jacoby has nothing to do with o line. He has been average with patriots, Cleveland, Washington, colts and any other team. At some point Jacoby just not good

[@EastieRick]

@@jaguarsfoot346 we are not talking about madden Football here. This is real people living people not a video game, the Oline has a huge thing to do with it. Here’s some advice, stay away from the holes in the wall that you think are producing licorice very bad.

Belicheck Roster Building Has Fucked This Teammmmm

[@joeruiz4010]

The price to be paid for keeps Belichick around for TOO LONG. 😂

[@EastieRick]

This coaching staff sucks ballz especially the defense, bill would have never had them play with such low energy

[@MickeyJWind]

rodgers makes a difference. Lazard had 23 receptions all last year for 311 and 1 td. with his old friend Rodgers back, he already has 11 receptions for 148 yards and 3 td receptions in 3 games. rodgers is a different animal. Look at the names on the jerseys too. the Jets are just a better team and they are just the tip the iceburg right now since they did not really play any vets in pre-season at all.

[@RickStein-n1c]

The Pats needed to have taken a tackle in the second round. They took an average WR. Criminal.

[@EastieRick]

Should have been the first pick

[@Oldguard_8]

I thought so too....would have made it better but still not enough to fix the issues. I was mystified why they didn't lay out real $$ for one of the few FA tackles so they would have a true starter. Somehow they can't block at all, not even a 'all block in one direction' and sloooowly move.

[@EastieRick]

@@Oldguard_8 the best FA was the guy we already had and he’s a bum also anyone worth paying for is never making it to FA.

[@RickStein-n1c]

I would have traded down, gotten lots of extra picks, chosen offensive and defensive linemen and used actual money for a QB and receivers. Once they choose Maye, it was negligent to not get offensive line help. Brady made this team for 20 years. It is pretty clear that the Krafts don't really know what they are doing and have never been willing to invest financially. So, you watch what we watched last night. I hope their local ad revenue dries up.

[@tonytheg6612]

@@Oldguard_8from what I recall this was an off year for free agent tackles I actually think owenu was the top of the class lol

[@Oldguard_8]

Not only are Pats a bottom-5 offense at best, their D, that carries the team, has no Barmore, and no play-calling LB (now that Bentley is out). I was genuinely amazed at the lack of moves by Mayo - I suspect his comment 'xxx is the head coach of the offense and xxx is the head coach of the def' may actually be more true than we realize. It appears that while Mayo is easily a more likeable person and leader than his predecessor, he doesn't seem to know very much. Outcoached and outschemed, again.

[@EastieRick]

This makes me so happy to see that DEI hire get his unqualified azz handed to him Flame On Mayo 🔥

[@RickStein-n1c]

I don't think he was a DEI hire. And stop with the race stuff. Kraft just likes proving he is the smartest guy in the room, he falls in love with people, he doesn't have a clue what he is doing. He fell into Brady so he thinks he is a Hall of Famer. Whether he is or not is immaterial. He cares about stupid things like that. And now he says he picks his coaches like he picks his wives. What an idiot.

[@EastieRick]

@@RickStein-n1c stop nothing I say what I think. The guy holds no qualifications that’s the definition of DEI. He was promised the job 3 years in advance. And he talks race in the opening press conference it’s open season.

[@jaguarsfoot346]

And what the hell BB done last couple of years? Team has been trashed since Tom Brady left. Stop deflecting because you don’t like the hire and will ignore the facts this team hasn’t been good for some time.

[@EastieRick]

@@jaguarsfoot346 still had the D ready to play and how am I deflecting . I said why I don’t like the guy and I will continue to stand by it and call it out. You have no understanding of the word

[@Dog96Soldier]

These guys sound like helicopter parents smh. Start Maye and lets go

[@polandfresh101]

They said he looked like a kid…but he actually moved the ball more than suckbag brissett did all night. He actually showed the ability to run for a first down as well. Fans and commentators just have Mac Jones PTSD and won’t admit he simply isn’t a good qb.

[@mariannagreenlee]

@@polandfresh101exactly. He was much better than brissette.

[@ronmurray7349]

Punter Baringer - Drafted by Bill in the 6th round averaged 49 yards, and put three inside the 20. Longest 57. He will be All Pro this year.

[@firebattastic3661]

What did people expect? This is a down year, while the Pats build an O-line. Another high draft pick is a good thing.

[@WillHal1000]

Key takeaway is anyone who knows football knows the Pats have no chance this season. There is no hope to be sold this year.

[@EastieRick]

At the very least they should have put Maye in the series before they did, but they didn’t even do that right. This staff is incompetent but we will have to put up with the simps in the media protecting this waste at coach because he’s a DEI hire

[@mariannagreenlee]

Maye will be in before the end of the year and I look forward to seeing him. Do I think he should start next week? No. I think we see him late October/early November.

[@johndo1133]

I lay more of the roster issues on Belichick than Wolf here. It seems the offense is starting from the ground floor. Trying to bring in players who, let's be honest, have no desire to play here since the Brady era is over. Championships are a distant memory and some players would rather win games than make a little extra. Mayo and Covington are working with a good defense and can get things right. Van Pelt and Peters have a near impossible task of making this line strong and offense efficient. Not sure who's decision it was to cut Zappe but Mayo has to take full responsibility for that. I agree, sign him back and put JM on the practice squad. Still early enough to correct that mistake.

[@HonestSportsFan]

Ive seen enough Mayo out. Insane of kraft to not go for a modern offensive coach. He is a cheap owner. Hire the best and pay for the best KRAFTS OUT! MAYO OUT

[@kop3055]

The Jets are not a "Very good" team. The Patriots coaching staff is a complete and utter waste of everyone's time.

[@jetsbabyy8117]

lol

[@jetsbabyy8117]

Stay hating when Aaron Rodgers is only getting warmed up. Jets offense is starting to find it’s rhythm, offense is still trying to jell together & click. Come back to this by the end of the season once the Jets are in the playoffs ending the longest playoff drought in American sports.

I’m still not in favor of them drafting Maye in the first place. They should’ve traded the pick for more picks. They have too many gaps to fill. Also…they never should’ve let Zappe go.

@@jetlifeporter23 i never wanted him to be head coach from the start and these 3 games are proving he was a bad hire and never should have been. he went behind belichick's back to get the job and belichick deserved more respect on how we replaced him than how the patriots handled that situation.
