The highly anticipated Will Grier debut some Patriots fans were hoping for is not going to happen. Grier was released today to open up a roster spot ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Giants. If the Patriots do make a quarterback change moving forward, it is going to be Bailey Zappe who takes over for the beleaguered Mac Jones. Grier’s release comes as a surprise but it really shouldn’t.

The Patriots drafted Jones in the fourth…
The Patriots lost an ugly game this morning to the Indianapolis Colts, 10-6. It was the low point in a season full of low points. Here are seven thoughts on the loss. 1. Offensive and special teams coaching was bad- I thought Bill O’Brien made some peculiar calls throughout the game.
