Matthew Slater questions Patriots' effort after lopsided loss to 49ers

Do the Patriots have an effort problem? Co-captain Matthew Slater addressed the team's struggles with some eyebrow-raising comments on "Monday Night Patriots."

That's um... interesting. I wonder who he was referring to.

Maybe BB himself.

Maybe BB isnt doing enough

Even on the 2009 team we didn't hear players call out the team for attitude and lack of effort. Yeah that's on Bill to fix that. Puts the loss on Sunday in a bit of a different light for me. Hopefully that problem gets corrected soon.

Attitude and effort disappeared right after kickoff.

Definitely looked like they just laid down. They were getting embarrassed at home by a very banged up team who was able to do whatever it wanted. These guys can put out all the videos social media they want and recycle every cliche post game but there definitely seems to be some disinterest out there.

Funny, an astute poster I know here has been saying the team quit...now a player agrees
And the coach quit on the team vs Denver

wish there were fans at the games so they can hear the boos (halloween)

Hmmmm.......
Who hasn't wanted to play in previous games?

If Slater is saying this, then I believe it to be true. It's not just speculation anymore.

I said in the GDT they should have pumped the boos in.

Frankly, anyone who watched the 49ers game would come to the same conclusion. It was obvious.

If you don't want to play, don't play. But don't step on the field and give less than100% effort.

Slater would tell BB to his face and BB would listen.

I think it is clear they did not give max effort. Being out physicalled is not generally something that happens to the patriots
