Patriots Commentary:

The Miami running game couldn’t get much going last week against Philly. Their OL is really banged up, and they were down three starters.

Looking at what happened on Sunday, it’s hard not to wonder if the Patriots are going to make some tough decisions as it pertains to two starting wide receivers.

the new configuration with Onwenu at RT, Sow at RG, and getting back Strange at LG worked much better than any other combination has all season

After three straight losses of playing uninspiring football, the New England Patriots managed to take control early against Josh Allen and a formidable Bills team who they hadn’t beaten in their previous three meetings.

Yeah, that’s what I like to see!  That was a terrific comeback in a game that the Patriots nearly played perfectly.  They had one turnover in the 4th quarter, and that nearly turned a victory into a loss.  Here are my quick observations.

This game had all the familiar story lines of this season, right up until the final drive. And then, all of a sudden, the old winning Patriots came back to Gillette Stadium.

“I showed up, and all I wanted to do was to show Tedy Bruschi and Willie McGinest, Brian Cox and Roman Phifer that I belong,” said Vrabel.

It’s time for Robert Kraft to make a change with the Patriots organization.  The Patriots 1-5 start is unacceptable, and changes need to be made and that means at the top.  Bill Belichick is the problem.  He has lost this team, and they are no longer listening to him.

With Parker and Smith-Schuster not producing, it is time to see what Bourne, Boutte, Douglas, and Thornton can do.

It’s probably safe to say that for anyone hoping that Bill Belichick’s collapse continues, the future may not look as bright as people might think.

Bill Belichick knows he’s put himself in a bad situation, and now he may ultimately cost himself his job if the Patriots continue sliding backward given their 1-5 start.

The Patriots should have won this game.  They are finding new and inventive ways to lose games.  This week it’s DeVante “Velcro” Parker’s turn to blow the game.  Mac Jones drops a bomb down the sideline right into the hands of Parker, who has two strides on his defender, and he drops the pass.  Further, Parker claims it was on his fingertips and doesn’t take responsibility for the drop after the game. 

The defensive line did a very good job at stopping the run. Josh Jacobs rushed for 77 yards on 25 carries (3.1-yard average).

One day later, it’s hard not to feel like the New England Patriots showed some improvement on Sunday despite the club’s 21-17 loss in Las Vegas.
