The Vibes Suck
Immediate Reaction to Patriots loss to the Jets. 24 -3. This team fucking sucks. There is zero improvement or difference from last year’s 4 win team under Bill Belichick. The anointed head Coach Jerod Mayo has taken over with the same staff, same front office, and literally the same player minus Matthew Judon and with the addition of Jacoby Brissett and some rookies.
Week 1 was the anomaly. I issued the warning, “is this sustainable, or will it suck”? Week 1 you have all off season to prepare. The opponent is annually slow starting. They had their own off the field issues to deal with and our offensive staff was familiar with them. It was an anomaly. Week two exposed the coaching staff’s ability to manage a game. Week three exposed the personal on the field. When playing from behind this team has less than a chance of a snow ball’s chance in hell. How is that different from last year? At least last year the team was in positions to win. Then Mac Jones would throw it away.
The defense is susceptible to decent quarterback play when they want to play zone because they have no pass rush. The don’t have the personnel to play man to man. The total yards were 400 to 139 in the 24 - 3 loss to the Jets. There was not a single ounce of competitiveness showcased in this game from the Patriots. The coaching staff had nothing to keep their team in the game with a lesser roster and the lesser roster simply could not keep up with Rodgers, Sauce, Gardner, and Co.
This loss to the Jets our first insight into the true disservice Eliot Wolf has done to this roster. It acts as a stark reminder that this team is way closer to the 4 win finish of 2023 with Bill Belichick than the 2022 8 win team under Bill Belichick.
This team sucks and there is nothing fixing that this year.
