1) We get the ball in the second half.

2) We may be better than the Panthers.

3) We hold the tiebreaker against the Jets.

4) Saints could have scored more.

That’s all I got.

I’m not sure I’ve seen ever an offensive line this bad from the Pats. I don’t even know how to evaluate anything else today because it’s so bad.

Yeah, though the odds seem low, the chance that Mac will succeed somewhere else is a worrisome possibility that would really suck. But at this point it doesn’t matter. He needs a change as much as we do.

Belichick ain't going anywhere.

He will determine when he leaves.

Fault BB the GM and maybe "ask" him to give up the player personnel / veto-rights on draft-picks side of the job.

But let's not be silly --- we aren't firing him.

And if we did, another franchise would give him $100M for 4 years in a cocaine heartbeat.

I think you'd be very surprised by how thin his market would be. 4 years? No way he's coaching in 2027.

How could this team unravel in all phases of the game so quickly, they're just dreadfful
The defense is missing it’s best player and 3 of top 4 corners, so that’s explainable.

The offensive implosion is impressive given they are basically fully healthy except LG. And the offense actually looked pretty passable the first two weeks of the year. This is rather shocking.

The only thing that might move the needle for Kraft is if fans start leaving, or not showing up at the remaining home games
I made this point about season ticket sales last season. At some point those sales will decline. Especially if you can no longer sell off a few games to pay for the remaining ones you want to attend.
