With the belief that Mike Vrabel remains at the top of the New England Patriots’ wish list, the next question is clearly going to be who will be the person leading the offense here in New England.

The Patriots met with Mike Vrabel yesterday as they continue their head coaching search, with Ben Johnson reportedly set to speak with the club today.

The New England Patriots have clearly set their sights on what appears to be Mike Vrabel, with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson also said to be someone they’re looking to speak with.

Looking back at the process last January when it came to how the New England Patriots put together their staff, there were certainly questions about the process when it came to hiring an offensive coordinator.

As the Patriots continue pondering their next head coach, Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson – at least so far – have been the two names we’ve heard talked about the most this week as their potential candidate.

Heading into Jerod Mayo’s first season as head coach, it sounds like one of his decisions might have truly come back to haunt him, at least if what Chad Graff the Athletic reported on Wednesday is true.

The next question after the New England Patriots hire their next head coach is whether or not he’ll want to bring in his own personnel person, which sets up an interesting situation for Executive Vice President of Player Personnel, Eliot Wolf.

While Jerod Mayo may have been fired barely an hour following Sunday’s win over the Buffalo Bills, it appears the other foot has yet to drop when it comes to his staff.

Jerod Mayo was relieved as head Coach of the Patriots by Robert Kraft 90 minutes after the Patriots won their final game versus the Buffalo Bills.  

Here in New England, we’ve been a little used to hearing about internal dysfunction, and it sounds like the final month leading up to Jerod Mayo’s departure yesterday wasn’t exactly great.

The Patriots lose by winning the game against the Bills.  Immediately after the game Robert Kraft fired Jerod Mayo.  Alex Van Pelt has also been relieved of his duties as Offensive Coordinator.  By winning the game the Patriots moved from having the #1 selection in the draft and dropping to the 4th Overall selection.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft and son Jonathan wasted little time on Sunday night, firing first-year head coach Jerod Mayo barely a couple of hours removed from Sunday’s regular season finale 23-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium.

Jerod Mayo said following Sunday’s win over the Bills that he would be speaking to the Krafts tomorrow in what he said would be his normal meeting before seeing “where it goes from there.”

It appears, we know what the future will hold a little sooner than we thought.

“Because they have every right to do that,(boo) in my opinion. It’s professional sports. If you don’t want to (hear) that, go coach in Alaska”

With the talk obviously swirling about the situation with New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes that the issues facing the team extend beyond its head coach.

Patriots offensive lineman Cole Strange has had a long year, and it sounds like he earned some recognition for his efforts on Friday.

Since we just did a preview of the Bills two weeks ago, writing a preview of them again would be a waste of time and effort.  Instead, I will concentrate on the significance of the game.

When you’re 3-13 heading into the final weekend of the season, it probably shouldn’t be surprising that you don’t garner much attention when the NFL decides to make its Pro Bowl selections.

Heading into the final game of the 2024 regular season, the Patriots find themselves in a situation where there’s little to play for, and one goal in mind before this year comes to a close.

” We just didn’t play well enough in any phase of the game. No complementary football. That’s what you get.” — Jerod Mayo

The Patriots come home to finish off the season with a pair of games against quality, playoff bound teams.  This Saturday, the Patriots host the Los Angeles Chargers.  The Chargers are under the guidance of 1st year Head Coach Jim Harbaugh.  He has them playing very tough despite a rash of injuries.

Jonathan Jones deserved a game-ball for his work in this game, covering the Bills’ most explosive player, Khalil Shakir, who was in the slot.

The Bills clearly came into this one flat and didn’t expect much of a fight from the Patriots out in Western New York on Sunday.

The Patriots came to play today, and the players left it all on the field today.  They stunned Buffalo with a quick start and a 14-0 lead and dominated the 1st Quarter, allowing Buffalo just 3 minutes of possession on 6 plays for just 11 yards.

“Yeah, I feel for Bar,” (Christian Barmore) Mayo said during his Friday press conference at Gillette Stadium. “He did everything right:
