What pissed me off was they ran the shotgun 2 minute drill and Drake tore up that defense before the half then they come out under center to start the 3rd quarter. I mean WTF, if something is working just stick with it and see what happens.

[@calidecali]

The narrative was always that Brady had no weapons and turned receivers into threats. Well, Drake Maye just turned Pop Douglas and Boutte into real weapons.

[@jwheels9876]

Pop was already a real weapon to be fair. We just had a bum at QB who never threw him the ball

[@debashisbarua4532]

Drake Maye had a great game yesterday. But Defensive gave to 42 points. It’s not good for QB. Even Offensive line up not good even. Coaches stuffs also poor teaching. Drake is the future for Patriot. They needed good players for defensive line. This is the true line.

[@randomflagg7331]

the only thing is i miss the fire of brady. maye is gifted it comes easier to him.

[@iCruzPR]

You guys are forgetting that this is year one of the second rebuild. Of course you're going to sign these guys that don't make sense. This is a throwaway year on the books. Now you're seeing that Drake Maye is the real deal and they will respond appropriately in the offseason with their signings and drafting. Can't wait.

[@refuahpharmacy7880]

i see him as John Elway same size, same speed running with ball.

[@tjk9263]

Good comparison. Now if this kid can bring us 2 SB titles like Elway another dynasty anyone!

[@AidanHolland]

The first pass TD was very young elway.

[@mattesyl33]

Maye was tossed into a meat grinder. Half the time he looked great, the rest of the time he looked like a rookie trying to make the most out of nill. Yes, we got to see the brightness possibilities for the future, but we still saw a crap ton of mistakes that come from bad coaching. Maye got up (thankfully) after getting drilled numerous times and these spank monkeys are busy patting THEMSELVES on the back like this was amazing and their great idea yet. I would have loved to see the game where I'm confident that DM isn't going to wind up injured eventually, but I didn't. There was nothing worong with protecting your future franchise QB for dismemberment. Nobody can say that this was the plan. He was brought in, to put asses in seats and save jobs. I predicted London the earliest, but Mayo & co. couldn't put a well coached product on the field to spare the kid even that. Why are we confident they aren't gonna F this up?

[@shawnharrington9817]

It's about time 😊😊😊

[@stephenmartin6430]

Drake looked like the #3! He can run and he has a live arm! He was also a crash test dummy and took some real shots. Pop looked a step faster and that center we got off of some one's practice squad can play! We'll see over the next 11 games if this was a mistake. However, it is interesting now!

[@patrickhernandez785]

Looking at the remainder of the schedule the Patriots could win atleast 5-6 maybe up to 8 games depending on the bears and jets games and how the team plays overall but the offense seems to be very confident despite the loss and hopefully this could help give the defense confidence going forward.

[@jaisriram295]

I feel like if they would have had a complimentary run game that might have been a closer score

[@jacobhughes9010]

It’s better then watching what would of been a 34-9 loss which is what we would of got with Jacoby

[@pdizzle5302]

21 points is the third highest point total for the Pats in the last two seasons so far. I think that's what the host heard and misinterpreted it.

[@paulLawrence-ud9vn]

as a Texans fan I think that you have a good QB. Now they just need to build around him starting with that O LINE. that O LINE really suck . when we got our head coach we got one that is a player's coach. then we got our QB than they built around CJ. it not to be as quick as the Texans was last year. now the city of Houston is all on borad . we had our bad years. we were the laughing stook in the NFL. now look at us we are 5-1bdst in the AFC south. we ade right behind the chiefs right now. im proud of my Texans. oh bye the way cj has talk to Tom Brady. we love CJ stroud.

If I was wolf I would make the trade for Davante Adams since he’s under contract for 2 more years and draft the best tackle available in the draft and you can still go out and get a Tee Higgins if none of the young guys show they can be a true X or sign a veteran tackle to play on the right side. Then you have addressed your two biggest needs and still have picks in next years draft to fix the run defense or take the best player available

[@bostonfan719]

I don’t want to live in a world where you can’t say bukkake on the radio.

[@ironPatriots48]

People who are trashing the defense have to be realistic and understand. A ton of the patriots' top defensive players are on IR or gone. I think if this team didn't have so many injuries, they would be better. Game 1 and 2, when the defense was somewhat healthy, they looked good. But since then, they have fallen. There are a lot of games left, and it's time to get it right.

[@SkeletorsSon]

19:41 as Mayo said on weei name these linemen that Wolf could of brought in? No one can name any because their was none, the closest was Paul Perillo who said Smith who went to the Jets and Bhaktiari who no one touched because they are old and always injured. Money wasn't the issue with Ridley where did this casual come from? He's an expert at the buffet knows nothing else

[@H-Town_83]

He looked fine, but this just wasn't a good measuring stick. The Texans' defense was down 5 starters in the 2nd half. Half their secondary was just on the practice squad last week. Maye looked his best in the second half, so it kind of like a rookie shining in the preseason.

[@jacobhughes9010]

I’m also not even long term concerned about the defense. We have no bareamore, peppers, dugger, or Bentley. I mean that’s like 4 of our 5 best defensive players

So you're telling me they're building a team like I scramble to pick up D-list players in my fantasy leagues because I don't know what I'm doing? I'll handle personnel for the Patriots at a steep discount if this is what we're doing. At any rate, I was actually excited to watch the game and stayed excited during the game. I had a few games like that during Mac's first season but it never felt like this. Maye just looked...capable. Crazy that we haven't had a QB look like that for so long.

[@jwheels9876]

They're kind of in the same situation as you would be in your fantasy league. Everyone else worth anything is already gone and you need a desperation start so you pick up some bum and pray he does anything. That's basically their entire offensive line at this point 🤣

Like playing the game and watching the game are VERY different and aside from Bertrand who played none of them watch the game or the team.

We've had at least 8 O-line injuries in just 5 weeks. I'm not sure how that shows "lack of O-line depth" building from Elliott Wolf, but I guess any chance to attack the front office is fair game.

[@andrewc7703]

Zolak - hahahaha - oh man, does he realize what he said??

[@timothypatch5080]

Me personally I really don’t think Elliot has done that bad of a job, he literally was handed a pretty crappy roster and so far has been given one draft and one offseason, he resigned the good players who mostly all got hurt, and then you can say he missed on the offensive line but the guy everyone wanted the Patriots to take was sent off from the Bengals and replaced by TRENT BROWN! Gross! So ultimately the only real criticism outside of him maybe being more aggressive with trades for tackles which no one would do since there’s a shortage in the league you can only criticize him for is Calvin Ridley which to be honest is probably a blessing in disguise because that guy stinks. And also you can say the offensive line was awful to start but we are at the point where every position outside of RG is on 3rd stringers or practice squad players due to injury so how can you even evaluate the line he put together

[@John-ms6bv]

He was in the front office when the Patriots stockpiled this dumpster fire. He, Groh, and others are just as responsible for the poor roster. Also, although a small sample size, he completely misjudged the draft when the run on tackles started and left the team without a legit LT to start camp.

[@timothypatch5080]

@@John-ms6bv no BILL had complete control he probably took their ideas and wiped his ass with it and it’s proven with the drafts and free agent signings, he drafted a guard in the first round trust me he was a figure head giving opinions that Bill didn’t take seriously and who were they supposed to get at LT read my original post there was no one available I guess you can say he could’ve maybe traded up but apparently they tried

[@John-ms6bv]

Okay, so he drafted a guard in the first round. Not the first time and I don't remember people cheering when Mankins was dealt to TB. Also, the idea that no one had any influence or input into personnel is belied by statements by just about anyone in the organization.

[@timothypatch5080]

@@John-ms6bv who is saying that? And I’m not trying to rewrite history about Bill I loved Bill but his ego got in the way and he 100% built that roster and he would sign and draft defensive players when the offensive desperately needed help because he believed he could take anybody and make him a top 10 QB and they wasn’t true and the first year of Bill being gone what do they do? They actually draft much needed offensive help, and didn’t trade back for a freaking guard. Now did they do a perfect job? No and did everyone work out? No but I’m willing to give it another year considering the shit show that they inherited and also do you believe Bill would’ve EVER tried to trade for Brandon Aiyuk? No he overpaid for Devante Parker and Nelson Aghalor

Maye is clearly better than Mac? Took him only 1 starting game to look better than Mac did the 4 years he played for us. Even the interceptions he threw weren’t as hard to watch besides his third throw of the day which sailed over the receivers head but he didn’t make that mistake again.

[@SmashTheNumbers]

@@switchyyg OK.. but there are a lot of QBs that can wing it around. Very view QBs can stay at about 0.5 INTs per game. It actually is not that hard for an NFL QB do do what he did, if the objective is just to rack up stats and not being judged on turnovers v. actually try to win the game. Mathew Stafford with the Lions did this for a full decade before he was actually judged on winning games in LA.

[@mikeh4818]

I would only put one turnover on Drake Maye. The sack fumble was a blindside hit and the tip ball pick was unlucky. The other interception was a good decision but bad throw. I can't think of one decision in which he was reckless with the ball

[@chrish2112]

You know nothing about football. Stop talking.

[@robj144]

Ok, a turnovers is worth 4.5 points somehow. (Can you site the source or your logic?) 3 TDs and 3 TOs (by Maye) is +7.5 as opposed to +0 having not thrown a TD like Jacoby has in the first few games (he threw 2 TDs total, so technically 0.4 TDs per game which is +2.8 points). And, most thought of a Stafford as a top 10 QB for most of his time in Detroit too.
