Patriots owner Robert Kraft has one request of Tom Brady now that he has retired! Will Brady do it?

The New England Patriots are currently set up well with two young quarterbacks, Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe, who both have winning records as starting quarterbacks during their short tenure in the league.

The New England Patriots failed to make the playoffs this season with an 8-9 record, but this was not at all a fault of the elite defense for the Patriots. The struggles this season were all on the offensive side of the ball, where young quarterback Mac Jones appeared to take a step back in his second season.

With the 199th pick overall in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected quarterback Tom Brady. Nobody knew at the time that the greatest quarterback in NFL history was just drafted. 23 years, 7 Super Bowl championships, 10 Super Bowl appearances, 3 times Most Valuable Player, and countless records in the books, everyone now knows he is the greatest of all time.

The New England Patriots have had over two decades of remarkable success under head coach Bill Belichick, however ever since quarterback Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of all time, left the team, the New England Patriots have had major offensive woes.

The New England Patriots have made a surprising move before the final game of the regular season, where it has been announced they have suspended two key players from their team.

The New England Patriots have a team history and quarterback history of punishment by the NFL, and apparently, that still continues. In a week 16 meeting between the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots, the NFL decided to investigate a low hit committed by Mac Jones against the Bengals cornerback Eli Apple.

The New England Patriots have had an up-and-down season. The defense is playing great, with playmakers all over the field. The offense, on the other hand, lacks those playmakers, and poor playcalling doesn't help either. However, the Patriots' playoff chances still remain possible despite the struggles. Let's discuss the New England Patriots' playoff chances, betting odds, remaining schedule and playoff scenarios.

Last Sunday the Jets headed into their rest week with a win over the Buffalo Bills. The Bills currently holds the second spot in the AFC East. If the Jets had won this match they would have ascended to the top of their division. After this defeat, the NY Jets has 14 consecutive losses to the NE Patriots. What is next for the Robert Saleh and his Jets?

(Graphic by Kayla Drazan) In a year where the NFL is as unpredictable as the New England weather forecast, the New England Patriots continue to prove to this fanbase how a mediocre offense can’t win the “big games.” Sure, the Patriots currently occupy the final playoff spot heading into Week 11, which should shock many NFL pundits; they currently are ranked No. 26 in total yards per game, a statistic that should worry many fans. Although Matt Judon is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate and this defense continues to dominate the gridiron, there remains multiple questions on the offensive side of the ball, particularly with quarterback play.

Bailey Zappe nearly defeated Aaron Rodgers in his first NFL appearance but came up short in overtime. Romeo Doubs is looking extremely bright for the Packers and Rodgers seems to be doing a solid job in spreading the ball around to his young receivers.

Bill Belichick needs to be held accountable for the Patriots predictable offense

I’m starting to mistrust the word “patriot.”. Calling yourself a “patriot” does not make you a patriot. I think it’s odd that many of the people who claim to be “patriots,” also fly the Confederate flag. The Confederate flag represents an attempt to overthrow our government. To me, that’s the opposite of patriotic.

Bill Belicheck found a way. Mac Jones had a solid game much better than last week, he and Jakobi Myers connected on multiple occasions for big plays throughout the game. Nelson Agholor had one of the best catches and touchdowns I've seen in a while and probably the best catch so far this year, being around 5'11 jumping over '3 Akhello Witherspoon. Pittsburgh needs to open up there playbook, they're pass concepts have been looking stale and repetitive over the past two or three seasons and it looks like they need some more creativity in the playcalling.

The Patriots seemed to struggle all around, although they didn't allow a lot of points they struggled as the game went on containing the Dolphins offense, which could be a problem in their second matchup. I can't hold too much on the Pats due to this only being week one but they'll have to clean up a lot if they want to make it out of this tough division. Th Dolphins look good on both sides of the ball and as the season goes look like they good put together a threatening offense as they continue to build chemistry.

The Patriots seemed to struggle, although its preseason and I'm not very alarmed it was surprising to see Zappe and Jones both throw interceptions and one go for a touchdown. The Raiders look good this preseason going 4-0, it'll be a confidence boost to go into the regular season with.

The Patriots looked pretty well rounded and smothered the Panthers handsomely on both sides of the ball. The QB battle seems to still be in the air and with Matt Corral out possibly for the year the conversation and competition is much thinner and someone will have to be named soon.

After not qualifying for the NFL Playoffs in 2020, the New England Patriots bounced back with a 10-7 record last season. However, New England was absolutely destroyed by the Buffalo Bills 47-17 in their AFC Wild Card Game.

Ray Rauth answers today’s question. Now that New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick is 70-years-old, how long does he plan to continue coaching in the NFL?
