Patriots’ problems are bigger than quarterback, blame starts with Bill Belichick.
Following a 6-0 loss to the los angeles chargers on sunday, the new England patriots fell to 2-10, where their offensive futility dropped to new heights.
Bailey zappe couldn’t score at quarterback, just as they couldn’t do much with mac jones. The patriots have now lost three games in a row in which the opponent scored 10, 10 and 6 points. It’s been 85 years since a team lost three games in a row that allowed fewer than 26 points.
During a three-game losing streak in 1938, the chicago cardinals gave up 20 points. Football is the ultimate team sport, but quarterbacks can make all the difference. Teams that find the right guy will be instant playoff contenders.
See what C.j. explains about it. Stroud is doing for the houston texans. the patriots know all about the benefits one guy can have on their team. With tom brady, they were a dynasty. Without him, the nfl has become a laughingstock. They aren’t alone. Several teams are losing due to poor quarterback play. Of course, the new york jets are among the week 13 lowlights. On offense, they have been mediocre, whether zach wilson, tim boyle, or trevor siemian is in charge. In a 13-8 loss to atlanta, boyle was substituted for siemian, who was unbeaten.
The falcons (6-6) didn’t get anything special, but they had the luxury of facing the jets. Ridder, who was already on the sidelines earlier this season, completed just 12 of 27 passes for 121 yards and one touchdown. That was enough against new york. the jets (4-8) have lost four one-possession games in which they’ve allowed 16 points or less this season. In three of those games, they had the ball and had a chance to take the lead with under two minutes, but they failed. Since losing aaron rodgers in week 1, new york didn’t have a good qb, so the front office should be held accountable.
New england’s problems go deeper than the QB. Belichick is to blame for the accident. He’s a six-time super bowl champion and a cinch in the pro football hall of fame. Since brady left, belichick hasn’t assembled a strong roster. In free agency, he’s had poor drafts and made many bad moves.
