This will be Bills fatal mistake not addressing offensive talent in the draft. Switching out Myers for Juju inconsequential. Bill will be relieved at seasons end. His complete disdain for the importance of offense in todays NFL.
They help him with the two picks at the top. Making this defensive team a top five Defense. What Mac has to do is get the Joe Montana level period
What if they’re improving the Defense to the point that it can just consistently get the ball back to Mac Jones? I don’t think their receiver core is terrible, and now that Parker and gesicki, former teammates are back together a strong combo can be put to better use
2:20 speaking so many straight facts i literally almost fell out of my chair !! exactly what I think too about the third round, tank dell, and a TE also
Rc saying they should have drafted Hyatt, that roles already taken by tyquan, same skill set
Did the Bears fail Justin Fields? I don't want to hear this excuse about Mac Jones. Stop it…
4:13 nah bruh 💀
Yes patriots will be better next season
It is time to move on from BB. Should of moved on from BB when Brady left. McDaniel should had been the head coach of the pats
They traded up for a kicker in the fourth round instead of Dawand Jones. Could have really used him going forward, instead as usual Bill is obsessed with special teams and missses a huge opportunity to replace Trent Brown in a contract year.
Mac=Bust
Boston wants Mac gone- excessive blame deflection
They’re in one of the craziest divisions offensively, they’d be dumb not to invest defensively. The biggest offseason move they’ve made is in Bill O’Brien as OC, as a Pats fan, and also assumingly Bill and Bob Kraft, have a lot of faith in to get that shit figured out. I think Mac’s gonna have a bounce back year, there’s a lot of underrated talent around him that he connected with well his rookie year. I think the pieces are here to succeed, and if not that, at least improve drastically. This is the most competitive the division has been in over 20 years, each team is loaded with the pats being the only question mark. Have not been more excited to watch some football in a long time.
People need to chill. They building the offense for Mac . Bill is not gonna pay big money for a deep threat when Mac can't even get him the ball that far. The team is built for the mid range and run game . With a fast defense to keep offenses low scoring. Even if they had a top WR their record will still be around .500 . The issue is the QB . This is Macs last year to prove himself and then it's back to the well to find a real QB
Obviously they haven’t seen Mac stink it up
The Patriots did nothing for the offensive line. They have no left tackle, right tackle or a true center. They still have a bunch of mediocre offensive guards. The team is definitely not going to the playoffs. Mostly likely they'll finished 5-11.
Bill still putting together mid-2000 offenses.
i haven’t watched the video, but good QB’s have done so much more with so much less. and the fact that he has one of the, if the most, elite defenses in the league leaves little room for excuse
I’m just happy we got a corner over 5’10’
RC hates the patriots it is what it is
But we really should of gotten Tillman
Last year they were throwing Mac under the bus, this year they just maimed him by not helping him in the draft… don’t know what’s wrong with Bill, but Mac isn’t Brady and he won’t win 🏆 only with a TE and a slot receiver. So what the plan here .. a Ravens 2001 build or what ?
cause bill hates mac
The Pats struggle at developing Wrs, always have It's easier for them to sign them off other teams.
Belichick is a defensive minded coach first. He'll always focus on that side of the ball first.
If you look at their last 10 drafts, they struggle drafting probowl caliber players. They just don't draft well.
"NO".. then immediately contradicts himself
I’m actually happy they got González, easily the best córner in the draft. I just dont trust thsi pats system with WR ever since Brady the Qb
They added a WR, a pass catching TE, and a Tackle in free agency.
The draft isn’t everything. Those guys they added aren’t world beaters, but they’re good vets.
Oh shut the hell up!!! all of you idiots!! I bet bill billichick has more rings than you clowns have put together! How many teams have you guys coached? I know that Brady was a big part of that, but billichick was somewhere sitting in the cab of the locomotive too… I love what they did. And I like what he did in free agency…. it's simple…defense wins championships offense sells tickets.. we will surprise a lot to people this year watch!! dummies!!
The Patriots are Trash and Bellichek is Sabotaging them..get him out and put another coach in that will bring in some Offense
Ryan clarke is an idiot. Josh Allen DID HE WIN??? Tua DID HE WIN?? Joe DID HE WIN??? and that chart you had didnt have Kendrick. You sound dumb.
I Swear When Most Of These WR Bust I Don’t Want To Hear Shit Fr 😂
I like the gonzales pick in round one, the White pick in the second surprised me until i heard he was invited to the green room day one, meaning it was enough hype behind him to get selected in the first round and not like Will Levis. But they had alot of picks and shouldve taken more chances or been more aggressive drafting better receivers and tight ends. No matter how good the defense is your going to get exposed if your giving Arod, Allen, and McDaniels a bunch of posessions.They'll aways be a team that can win 9 or 10 games because of their do your job mindset in the regular season, but once playoffs come theyll lose the first round or wild card everytime. They cant compete with the upper echelon teams in the post season and the teams in their division are projected to be elite. They have to change something. Gone are the days with winning with subpar receivers. Deondre Hopkins aready made it clear on a interview he doesnt want to play for New England. No good receiver wants to play for them. They wont pay bank to any receiver and theyll put you in the doghouse for something weird and no veterans thinks let me play for Bill and win a ring, and their drafting at receiver has been suspect. They have to get with the program and do simular stuff on offense that the league has sorta changed to now.
Bill o Brien a "good head coach"?!? You must be dreaming Ryan!
Why get another speed guy if you have Tyquan? That sounds redundant.
ive lost hope, With Belichick around..our offense will never be top notch unless Mac becomes Brady, which aint gonna happen. Bills good with middle of the pack offense as long as his defense is top 7 or so. lets see how it goes once again this season..they can be a good little contender, but i dont see super bowl potential unless our offense averages 24 ppg
GoPat🏈❤️💙
Soo we gonna walkover the fact they have Devante Parker Kendrick Bourne and now juju smith listen I get it you need big named player I still think we shit good 4:42
Bill is putting the NFL on notice with Mac and Juju 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My pats are ducked this year….😂😂😂😂
Im a NYJ fan so believe me when I say I have ZERO love for the Pats but I do have respect. It's shocking to me at this point how much of their dominance was due to Tom at this point. Yes the AFC was vastly weaker then but winning was still hard.
Blah Blah. No more excuses for Mac. We will know by Halloween if he is the QB or not.
Clark is an idiot then lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
way better prospects on offense overall next year this year is defense to stop/slow down all the big offenses and considering we had the worst coaches on offense now got really good ones we can actually see what we have on offense which we dont know what we have outside of stevenson, andrews, and owenu even if we drafted one of these ok 1st rounder receivers their not great they havent shown anything that screams 100% elite in the for the nfl. And last yr outside of marcus jones special team sucked and defense got tired and wore out at the end. We are fortunate to have seen 6 rings in our time chill out and be fortunate to watch a actual rebuild.
Feliz
Sorry Ryan. You should be more objective in your job. Swagu should be more objective too like WAY more objective. Used to love you guys, it’s like come on man, say it up front and out loud you support black people more than white people. Sorry bro. It’s the truth tho and you both know it. No problem with it, You guys just should say it out loud. Ya know stop acting like black people aren’t exclusive…I.e…black colleges, banks, tv stations….just say it man. We all know m.
I’m happy with what we did tbh. People underrate having Bill O’Brien back as our OC. He will make a huge difference and drafting Boutte and Douglas. I feel like we can mold those guys for how we want them to be on the team. Mac will have a much better year
The difference with New England compared to a lot of other teams is that mac jones won’t have to be great to win games. Loading up on defense means less pressure on the offense. The patriots want to run the ball down peoples throats and mix in some screens and play action. The additions of juju, gesicki, Robinson and bill obrien alone give this offense some life compared to last year. Also there is a ton of upside in the receivers they drafted later on. The patriots will probably be a middle of the road team again but this draft was the furthest thing from bad
