PostGame Thread 2024 OFFICIAL WEEK 17 POST GAME THREAD: Patriots lose 40-7

[ScottishPatriots]

If Kraft knows football and is the smart businessman he tells everyone he is every 2 minutes he will accept he made a mistake and move on.

If he keeps Mayo/Wolf it will just be further proof he believes in his mind he was somehow responsible for all the winning.

Hard to see this turning around anytime soon.
I do not see how Kraft's confidence in Mayo can be maintained

I like the idea of bringing Gruden in as HC

That would be interesting.

Is it even possible.

One reporter asked why Mayo told the network crew before the game that Gibson would “absolutely” start, due to Stevenson’s fumbles, but then didn’t do it.

Mayo said “coach’s decision”.

Mike Reiss asked for more clarity and asked him what changed because he was emphatic about it so something must have changed between the interview and the game.

Mayo said “I understand, it was a coach’s decision”.

Until he has time to throw and receivers that get separation
The mistakes I agree with you
That comes with maturity
If it doesn’t then he will be called out

The Patriots have been among the worst in separation for WR's and TE's since 2019, so this is nothing new. What bothers me is that this is a league where the rule changes have allowed medicore QB's and skill players to put up points. Not to mention the league wide talent continues to get worse each season. But even with the lack of talent they have on offense, they still should be able to find a way to put up more points than they have.

This team is so bad, they think Mac Jones had a good cast surrounding him. He didn't, but even he was able to move the ball until last season. I see the flashes of what Maye can do, but he needs to put it together and be able to move the ball more consistently. The theme all season has been he either scores early and then is shut out, or is held down most of the game until garbage time where he pads his stats. I understand it's a touchy subject to criticize Maye because the chance of him being mediocre is going set the franchise back for years. The only way to get the most out of him is to clean house fast and match him up with a creative offensive coach. Mayo needs to go like tomorrow.

Mayo’s presser didn’t contain any “gaffes” but it wasn’t great either. Kind of a Belichickian one where he mostly just shut up and didn’t really say anything. But also didn’t seem to know what he was talking about either. One reporter asked him what went wrong/what the design was for the fumbled pitch play, he said “I would have to go watch the film.” Why do you need to watch the film? Don’t you know what play was called?

Ross you surprised??

Any more smoke about mayo after this game?

One reporter asked why Mayo told the network crew before the game that Gibson would “absolutely” start, due to Stevenson’s fumbles, but then didn’t do it.

is he saying he wanted to bench him but AVP didn’t?

Gibson hears he's starting then next minute he's on the bench for the first snap

He can't go a week without putting his foot in his mouth.

That’s the only way I can read it

 

[n1997y]

Year 3 once he’s had 2 years of competent coaching.

We may never see that.

Won’t see it unless Mayo gets fired after this season

 

[FCB02062]

Bob Kraft is not good at anything....he married into money, his soccer franchise is well below .500 in its existence, his football team is the worst team in the NFL for two seasons on the trot, and his ****ty Patriot place has vacant storefront after vacant storefront and overpriced fastfood and ****ty restaurants

 

[The Gr8est]

A HC who needs training wheels is not HC material.

Go ahead Bob!

Keep Mayo.

The fans will still show up and support the team.

Make us prove it!

I like Slow Polk and Faker

“That’s all, Polk(s)!”

From a Boot Licker HC who can't Coach.

Nope, Gruden is not PC and does not check any boxes

 

[PaulThePat]

Anyone who trusts this group of coaches and front office personnel with the 2nd pick and a mountain of cap space is insane. Every one of these clowns needs to go. To give them another go is a dereliction of duty and will probably see Maye out of the game with multiple concussions after his second year.
