The one-win streak was fun while it lasted. Thank goodness they had it - and especially that it came vs. the Jets.
Not a good look for New England to be the only single-win team left in the NFL, am I right? Oh, the embarrassment! For perspective, currently there are nine teams with two wins, and 18 teams under .500. Only the Chiefs remain undefeated.
Funny but I don’t remember there being this many bad teams at the same time when the Patriots were in their heyday. Parity, eh Mr. Commissioner? Just past the midpoint of the season, here’s my eye-test perspective.
Despite three turnovers against the Titans, Drake Maye at quarterback is a net positive. He’s the man. The rookie has good instincts, a terrific attitude and better mobility than I thought he’d have.
The offensive line is an incoherent revolving door of various bodies in different places. No cohesion. The QBs take too many hits, the running backs can’t consistently put together an attack, and don’t get me started on the receiving corps.
Hunter Henry is a sure-handed veteran. The rest of the bunch have had their productive moments but have also been plagued by too many drops. The defense has been a disappointment, but I’m well aware the players lost to injury (or to being on the Commissioner’s exempt list) were key to stopping the run.
Barmore, Bentley, and Peppers have been missed and their absences have been too big to overcome. Special teams? I see you Marcus Jones. I found myself looking forward to t.
