Every week is pretty much an embarrassment. The QB, who was a great player at Alabama, well...... it is what it is. Mac is being forced to play in a style that he didn't play in while under Saban, and his line is not nearly as domineering as that 'Bama all star line. I think the Pats need another coach and another offensive coordinator just for starters, it just isn't working.

Who is this Bill whathisfaceguy? Never heard of him.

Yeah, the problem can't possibly be Mac Jones adjusting to the NFL.

P.S. That 4th quarter interception was *clearly* the fault of either the QB or the receiver.

The sun had already set on the Patriots a while ago. Newton was a bust and now Jones is a bust. Jones cannot spark any offense, he cannot throw accurately, he is not good at scrambling, and he makes poor decisions. Being a great player in NCAA doesn't always spell success in the NFL anyways.

We all know the Brady - Belichick was the best QB - coach duo ever. Brady left , went to TB and won another ring. Pats went into a steep dive. Sounds more like Brady did more than we ever figured he ever did for the team.

Let Belichick retire after this season. Thanks for the great years of Patriot football.

Belichick needs a great QB to win, he only has an average one. If he had Mahomes, Burrows, Allen, people would still be bragging about him being the best coach.

Footwork was awful in that he was falling away when making the throw.

If he can't make that throw after being a QB for four years, it's just not in the cards for him to be an above average QB.

Sunsetting is a bit premature for Bill. He's not the oldest coach in the league either, but close.

Give him one of the hot QB's coming into the draft....like Michael Phenix Jr and see what Bill can do with that.

It's possible that Robert Kraft is looking for a change at the helm, but Bill could get another HC spot if he wanted.

Now.. Perhaps we can discuss that part a bit. Because.. I'm not sure I agree.

There's certain owners who would give him what he would require.. Which is basically the keys to the kingdom. But.. I can name a WHOLE LOT MORE who would pass. Jerry probably being at the top of that list. Bidwell, who, even if he didn't pass, I think Belichek would because of how cheap Bidwell is.

The Kahns probably would give him free reign, but.. I think they're quite happy with what they have now.

Washington.. I dunno. We haven't seen enough from that group to know the answer.

Detroit and Minnesota, if they needed a coach.. I think they'd give him what he wanted. But, again.. I don't see either of them looking

Raiders? Not a chance. I mean, they're still going to be paying millions to their last 2 HCs. They just need to create a new position called Interim HC and never remove the Interim part. Because.. They've had some EXCELLENT results with the last few Interim HC's and they don't hire them!



So.. While I get where you're coming from.. I don't know.. I think it'd have to be the right team and.. There's not many of those out there. And.. None of them I can think of looking for a coach.

Bill O'Bozo is the QB Coach. That explains a lot.


Yes, the sun is setting on Darth Belichick and this Jedi Cat is not disappointed He had a good run, but like all coaches, time to pass the torch. I cannot stand the Evil Patriots, so I say Yes, give Bill O'Bozo the job ... or Fat Mike McCarthy...he will be available by mid January.

They can suck the rest of my life and I'll be alright with it, had one of the best runs of any team in Pro Sports history. And it appears they will suck for a while....bring Missin Sisson back.
