While he made things interesting each week, the team simply couldn\u2019t find a rhythm consistently on the offensive side of the football.<\/p>\n<p>When you look at the film, there were so many good moments that fans can dismiss the 10 interceptions he threw, largely because there were some <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL_DovKleiman\/status\/1868811094053339503\/video\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>that simply went off the receiver&#8217;s hands<\/strong> <\/a>and ended up in the arms of a defender.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf_reveal lazy size-full wp-image-56726\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886811_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Drake Maye\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Eric Canha-Imagn Images)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There weren&#8217;t many &#8220;what was he thinking?&#8221; moments, which is one big takeaway that fans can look back on from last season.\u00a0 The only one that might fall into that category would be the overtime loss against Tennessee.\u00a0 He threw <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL\/status\/1853145646565593367\/video\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>one early in\u00a0 the game, <\/strong><\/a>which certainly wasn&#8217;t good<strong>,<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL\/status\/1853145646565593367\/video\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> and the one he threw in overtime<\/a> <\/strong>was also disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>The latter was one Maye not only took credit for, but the way he described it tells you it&#8217;s not something that fans should worry about becoming a habit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst down and see the safety. I think we\u2019re throwing into the wind,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2024\/11\/03\/drake-maye-postgame-interview-transcript-11-03\/\"><strong>explained Maye after the game<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 &#8220;I got to put some more on it. Just a dumb decision. Something you\u2019d like to have back, especially in that situation. We\u2019re going to go at least tie it up. We\u2019re on, like I said, our own 40. Sometimes the best players throw it away. It\u2019s a bad decision on my part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, looking at that final play a little further, it&#8217;s tough to even put that one completely on him.\u00a0 One side note that happened in that sequence was the fact that Kendrick Bourne <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL\/status\/1853145646565593367\/video\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>fell down after getting his feet tangled with the defensive back<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Prior to that, Bourne had seen the safety stay with him, leaving Kayshon Boutte alone down the field against his defender.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bourne&#8217;s stumble allowed the safety to leave him and ultimately make the interception, and it ended up spoiling what might have instead been viewed as a great throw to Boutte, who had a step on his man downfield.\u00a0 In fact, the odds are pretty good, based on where he was, had Bourne continued to draw coverage, and left Boutte one-on-one, that the ball would have landed right in his hands as he came back across the field for a potentially huge gain.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Bourne fell down and it set up the turnover.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it also ended a comeback bid in what had been <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TomBradyEgo\/status\/1853181058881089856\/video\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>an unbelievable touchdown throw<\/strong><\/a> by Maye at the end of regulation to even put them into that position.<\/p>\n<p>But while that moment was one of several &#8220;what if?&#8221; type of moments for the rookie, the bigger question now is whether or not Maye can turn the corner this season.<\/p>\n<p>As it currently stands, this offensive line should be much improved from the group that saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/new-england-patriots\/stats\/2024\/offensive-line\/\"><strong>11 different starting combinations<\/strong><\/a> and 16 different guys see time in 2024.\u00a0 During OTAs, reports indicated that the initial group saw Will Campbell lining up at left tackle, Cole Strange at left guard, Garrett Bradbury at center, Mike Onwenu at right guard, and Morgan Moses at right tackle.\u00a0 While it remains to be seen how the interior of the line might shake out, the fact they now have two guys who should provide some consistency on the edge is big.\u00a0 Both Vederian Lowe and Demontrey Jacobs struggled mightily last season, leaving Maye far less time to operate than he should have had.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, facing pressure was an area <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tkyles39\/status\/1926010419849621739\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>where Maye excelled at last season<\/strong><\/a>, which some might remember was one of the things he liked about Alex Van Pelt&#8217;s offense, given that it provided options for those very scenarios.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf_reveal lazy size-full wp-image-60446\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26133772_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Josh McDaniels\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Eric Canha-Imagn Images)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Under Josh McDaniels, it will likely be a lot of the same.\u00a0 That was one area that seemed to frustrate former Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who played under McDaniels. It felt like things were fairly thorough when it came to those playcalls, which became more evident after McDaniels left for Las Vegas to take over the Raiders head coaching job.<\/p>\n<p>Reports after that season indicated that Matt Patricia&#8217;s stint as offensive coordinator didn&#8217;t seem to cover those same situations.\u00a0 Both Jones and other players reportedly questioned Patricia in some of those same &#8220;what if this happens?&#8221; scenarios, and they were apparently rebuffed after Patricia didn&#8217;t seem to give them an answer.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s part of what makes this year so intriguing.\u00a0 Maye will likely be put in plenty of positions to make plays, and they at least have better personnel up front protecting him.\u00a0 With someone like Stefon Diggs in the mix, it should raise the level of the wide receiver group as a whole, especially if rookie Kyle Williams steps up and Demario Douglas finds himself in more positions to potentially have a breakout season.<\/p>\n<p>With guys <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2025\/05\/24\/patriots-udfa-chism-likely-already-has-a-plan-toward-earning-a-roster-spot\/\"><strong>like undrafted free agent Efton Chism also making noise<\/strong><\/a>, it should be an interesting competition heading into camp.\u00a0 More importantly, it could be a group that will be better than what we saw in 2024, hopefully, making them a little more formidable.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting note is that from Week 6 through Maye&#8217;s final full game in Week 17, the Patriots were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/new-england-patriots\/stats\/2024\/points\/qtr\/4\/\"><strong>fifth in the NFL in fourth-quarter scoring<\/strong><\/a>, outscoring opponents 90-76 over that span.\u00a0 Granted, this was often a team playing from behind, but it doesn&#8217;t change the fact that three of the four teams in front of them in that category (Bills, Eagles, Commanders) were all playoff teams.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf_reveal lazy size-full wp-image-57210\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/USATSI_24518541_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Drake Maye and Alex Van Pelt\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">Maye and Van Pelt in 2024.
