Too many injuries, nobody is that deep.

The Pats aren’t deep at all. Big reason for the decline over the last 5 quarters.

 

[slash83]

If Drake Maye is good he leads the Pats back, right? Plenty of time against Tyler huntley, right? Or is reality the Patriots are just a ****ing mediocre team with middling quarterback who played out of his mind against bad teams? The Patriots are complete ****ing frauds if they lose this game. Touchdown, stop vs Huntley, touchdown. Game over. Let's ****ing go

Drake Maye isn’t playing defense against the Ravens offense.

If out next play is a run up the middle for 2 yards, I think I’ll watch White Christmas with Bing!!

 

[PatriotSpy]

Maye looking like a real one was the one major reason for hopefulness in the future. If he's playing like, this team is going nowhere. There's no all-pro talent in any position.

The receivers can't get any separation, the RB's can't get a yard on 3rd and 1, the secondary can't guard ONE player that everyone knows is getting the ball, and the coaching has been pretty bad.

If Maye was playing well, even with a bad ending of the season, the hope would remain, but this really has turned into something really unpleasant since the Bengals game.

He’s had a very good season statistically considering the talent around him. I would like some explosive receivers but I’m not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

All i can say is the Patriots better win these next 2 games, all the positives of the season go out of the window if you can't beat the collapsing Jets and Dolphins and gag away this division.

Being one and done would be one thing but these next 2 games are absolutely must win for me and my faith in this whole operation.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

They might not even beat the Jets or Miami the way it's looking. Buffalo must be salivating right about now.

Might look back at 24-7 and see it as a watershed moment years from now of what we thought vs what did happen.

This team isn't the same team we'll see in the playoffs. I hope everyone watching makes the mistake of thinking otherwise

 

[SVN]

We’re in 4 down territory at this stage IMO. They have no answers for Derrick Henry so you have to go all out for two scores.

4th down with mapu last time.

 

[Joey007]

I’m gonna throw this one in the trash. This was really our first stinker since early in the season.

This team flat out needs Spillane/Milton healthy. Hopefully can survive the next week or two without them if they aren’t ready yet. Won’t go anywhere in the playoffs without them.

 

[Ross12]

I think the writing is on the wall for this team.

I don't think this game says much about the ultimate fate of the team when they are missing, what, 7+ starters? Most or all of whom will be back in all likelihood by the postseason?

Offense:
- Campbell
- Moses
- Henderson
- Douglas

Defense:
- M.Williams
- Spillane
- Tonga

 

[TommyD4207]

But coaching needs to help out and take the game deep.

You could have 50 Belichicks in his prime, and you couldn't turn this front 7 into chicken salad.

 

[dliverey44]

This team isn't as good as their record

Well no, the record is a byproduct of a pretty easy schedule. I know people don't want to hear that, but of all of the playoff teams we have the worst strength of victory.

 

[Thunderhead]

Kyle Williams is useless on KR

 

[PatsFan2]

Maye Time??

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

They might not even beat the Jets or Miami the way it's looking. Buffalo must be salivating right about now.

We’ll beat the Jets but with how we’re playing Miami could go either way

 

[Wozzy]

How many more injuries make them “deep?”

 

[Patriot Missile]

Still plenty of time to mount a come back

 

[Thelonious]

I don't see that Drake has much to works with, not that he has played well for 1+ games.

 

[lancerman]

This. We have a very shallow roster. We do have too many injuries as well. But this team has always felt like it was playing on a high wire with how limited we are at so many units.

 

[FCB02062]

Drake Maye isn’t playing defense against the Ravens offense.

His defense is playing a backup
