  1. “But what if he has a bad game and it ruins his confidence?!” Then he won’t ever be good regardless of how long he sits. Everyone will have a bad game. Good players learn from them, bad players lose confidence and get worse. Josh Allen was dogshit year one. He turned into a top QB. Cream always rises to the top. Take the training wheels off and stop bringing up the Alabama QB that was never going to be the guy. You can’t manufacture the mentality good/great players have, lots of guys have the physical tools, a small number of those guys have the mental tools to actually reach greatness. If maye has that mindset it’s not going to matter when he gets to start.

  4. When the players are acknowledging that he is it in practice. That means he is actually moving the offense and giving it life. Which means he needs to start. Nobody here wants to be looking at a top 10 pick again next year. We want playoff wins. They need to do the common sense thing with the line. Instead of throwing these guys all over the place in positions they aren’t used to playing. You put everyone in the position on the line they’ve appears played, and are most comfortable at. That allows the line to overall function better. Then you can just mess around with finding the best fit out of the depth chart that’s left for LT. The kid McKenzie we signed to the practice squad looked really good in the preseason. You put Sody at LG, Andrew’s, Mike at RG, and put Wallace at RT. Their actual positions. Then you test Lowe, Robinson, and McKenzie at LT until e find the best fit for that position. The line breaking down in other areas is simple players not playing their position.

  6. Critical week for Mayo and AVP? Inflection point for culture and offense? Jesus, the team is bottom 5 in talent and no amount of coaching will fix that. It’s a lost year so focus on guys that can help going forward and identify the guys that won’t be around next year.

  7. Enough! Life long patriots fan. We no brissette is not a champion. We want playoffs and Super Bowl championship. Put Maye in immediately van Pelt is a loser, bad play calling in three games. We can’t afford to lose any game. They’re professionals, put Maye In immediately and let him play, perform. He’s ready to play now. No excuses. Maye will make things happen and be a joy to watch. No hope with Brissette. I want to enjoy watching the patriots not the dread that’s been happening. Right now I question Mayos and Van Pelts coaching. Play calling in jets game was horrendous. They’re was no adjustments in the plays called. The patriots will lose me as a fan unless they use Maye or even Milton. These two are super athletes that need to be in the game. I don’t have time for a rebuilding team. They are professionals and they have to adjust to win. At least make it interesting and entertaining. Because football is entertainment

  8. i think there's a balance that you need to strike with the coaching approach in today's NFL. You need be respectful to the players and treat them as peers rather than subordinates to a degree, but at the same time inspire accountability for poor play and execution. It appears that Mayo and company do a good job spinning those plates and I do believe that these players buy in because of that, it's just whether they can cobble anything together this year with that commitment in mind. i think a lot of our success will come down to the play calling on game day because of that, but they do seem to be aware of that with the whole "we as coaches have to put our players in the best position to win as possible" stuff. we'll see how things go but i like what this culture looks like from the outside

  9. Jacoby is purposely not throwing the ball downfield field because he knows he’s inaccurate and will risk throwing INTS.. All while knowing a few turnovers will get him benched especially since he was technically beat out by a rookie Quarterback as a 9 year veteran
