Juju or Mac whoever you want to blame doesn’t really matter, they lost to and couldn’t put 20 up on a team that just sold off two big pieces on defense and told the world they’re tanking on the season. It’s just shit all around.

Does anyone really have confidence in Belichick?

Its not speculation. We can actually watch him. He's not good enough. He misses open throws with no pressure. Plenty of D3 QBs can hit open receivers with no pressure.

Blaming Mac seems stupid, it should be 100 percent on JuJu. Sure it was a bad area and high risk but he made the throw perfectly and it couldn’t have been better placed. Throw the ball away? Now it’s 3rd and 8 and what confidence do you have that this incompetent team gets ten yards in the next two plays?
Anyway, good loss

I don’t get all this “trade Bill” shit. Who the hell would want him? Great coach when he has the GOAT at QB, but his record is rather pedestrian otherwise.
To be fair, George Halas had Sid Lukman. Lombardi had Starr. Noll had Bradshaw. Walsh had Montana. Landry had Staubach. Brown had Graham. And Shula had Unitas, Griese, AND Marino (THREE Hall of Famers!). I don’t have the time to look at their exact records without their HOF QBs vs. with, but I know it’s a lot easier to win with a superstar QB than without.
The problem with Belichick is that wherever he goes, he will want absolute control over everything football-related. If the 2020-present Patriots are any indicator of how THAT will go, I’d say that would be a terrible idea. There’s no GOAT to save Bill’s ass anymore, and anyone who knows anything about football can see that. Maybe the Patriots can find a taker for this hooded albatross of theirs, but I will be shocked if there is anything close to a decent return coming back to Foxborough.
Is it too early to start talking about who the NEXT General Manager of the New England Patriots is going to be?

The game wasn't Mac's fault. He still sucks though. But it wasn't his fault.
They're tanking this year, it's clear. I don't even care about what Bill's doing this year, it's a tank. With a better roster built in free agency and a top-3 pick (hopefully at QB), I'm fine with him coaching the team next year. Maybe they should get a Pioli-type to help him select players, but overall I don't want him fired. Going 3-14 is the plan this year.

You want him back?
Do you really think he’ll surrender ANY control over personnel to anyone? I don’t want Belichick making any personnel decisions. Especially with a top-3 pick. He’d probably use it on another kicker that will be released after training camp. I’m over Bill the GM.

I think somebody will take him, despite evidence that he is a mediocre Gm and only a moderately successful coach without Brady.

This team is flawed.
Bill will always be the best coach ever.

Yeah like that guy Tom, Tom wait a minute, Brady, yeah that guy, ha!!!!
My nephew had a good time at the game, so at least that's a positive lol
He still prefers the Bruins, Sox, Revs, and Celtics.

It takes a while for everyone to come around, but it's always fun when you all finally wake up and realize I've been right for years now.

The defense, which is supposed to be the strength of the team, couldn't get off the field on third down all game long. They got lit up by a dude that is absolute trash for over 300 yards. What quarterback is going to stop the defense from sucking?

I don't blame Jones for the pick. That is on Juju for not being able to separate
. However, I have gone from a moderate Jones supporter to a serious detractor. He cant throw outside the numbers often. He turns down open receivers for reasons known only to him, and he constantly pouts about it.

Washington tanking against a guy scratching and clawing for wins and the Patriots couldn’t get it done
Juju gotta catch that ball - he’s not invested
Myers another TD
We all appreciate the 6 SB but he’s ruined this team and needs to own up to his you are what your record says you are

None. Thats not the point. The QB can only execute his job. Mac is below average in accuracy, recognition, and arm strength. Im not blaming him for the defense.

Considering this team is nowhere near being a contender I am fine with bringing Mac back next year with a new head coach. But I also think they should draft another QB. Start Mac and let the other guy sit for a while. See if a new coach can get anything out of Mac.
