At some point, Mac Jones isn’t going to be the quarterback of the New England Patriots. The only question is, does that time come this season, or after 2023? Time is ticking to decide whether the team wants to pick up his fifth-year option and given the fact that the Pats are 1-5, the future doesn’t look to bright for No. 10. Still, despite all the negativity and mounting losses,…

As Bill O’Brien stood in one of the large rooms inside the Patriots’ media work area on Tuesday morning, he was asked to give a ‘state of the offense’ from his perspective.

With so much chaos going in the world and this country seemingly in more and more disarray by the minute, football is obviously providing an escape for many, including players. But, when the wins aren’t coming, it’s easy for fans – especially around here after so many years of success – to quickly turn negative, and…

It’s pretty clear that the majority of the fan base doesn’t believe in Mac Jones as “the guy” going forward. Frankly, he’s given no reason to believe in him. But, the team feels differently. Both Bill O’Brien on Tuesday and Bill Belichick on Wednesday expressed confidence in Jones and said he would be the starter this Sunday when the 1-4 Patriots travel to Las Vegas. Belichick bluntly said “yeah, we…
