STINK, STANK, STUNK!!!!!!!
After last week's worst loss in Bill Belichick's career as a Head Coach, we witnessed his second worse loss, this time at home! It was awful in all three phases of the game. QB Mac Jones threw yet another Pick-6, the defense couldn't stop anybody and special teams were atrocious. Awful, awful, and MORE awful! Crickets at Gillette.
Where do they go from here? Who knows? They have no playmakers, injuries have piled up, and coaching looks clueless. Bill keeps building a team like Brady's still here, Tom's greatness spackling the cracks in the foundation and elevating JAGs to serviceable-to-good. Can the 71-year-old Belichick relate to today's players who can't be yelled at? Who are social media darlings? Can a chalkboard coach relate to tablet players?
Can this be fixed at all?
The Dolphins and Jets won, the Pats and Bills lost. Next week they travel to Las Vegas to meet the Raiders. Primetime games coming up. Bet the networks bump 'em.
