After several days of uncertainty surrounding New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, we now know what his fate will be for 2024.

Rumors on Monday were that former New England Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel would be interested in coaching the Patriots should Bill Belichick get let go, which added another wrinkle to an already interesting situation inside of Gillette Stadium.

In this episode, Russ and Steve discuss their thoughts on the quarterback, the head coach, and the owner.

With seven weeks to go in the 2023 regular season, one thing is starting to become a little more real with each passing day. Bill Belichick may indeed be elsewhere in 2024, and another era may soon be coming to a close for the New England Patriots.

While the current state of the Patriots certainly isn’t ideal, Sunday’s outcome against Washington was yet another reminder of just how bad things have gotten here in New England.

“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.

The New England Patriots released its second injury report on Thursday ahead of Sunday’s game, and it appears there’s still potentially some uncertainty with their secondary as they continue getting ready for the Eagles.
