Just wanna say if you give up 29 points to the 2023 Patriots as a “defensive” HC you need to be fired.

Go check what the Colts did to Mac in his rookie year. They were the first team to basically say you can’t throw outside the numbers and loaded DBs in the middle to force him into making those throws. The NFL being a copycat league, everyone eventually played the same way against the new NE offense, and Mac’s latter part of 2021 was pretty weak in comparison, except for the Cleveland game.
Coming into 2022 with all teams following this blueprint, Mac had less than zero support from the offensive coaches, who not only dismissed his input but also benched his favorite receiver basically all year. He was visibly at odds with the offense game plan, which is hard to blame him for since it was at times indefensibly amateur. Tensions between Mac’s camp and the Patriots were pretty high.
Going into 2023 - Mac was praised by Belichick for putting in work and improving in camp, and it seemed the team would maybe return to some level of function offensively with an actual coordinator. A couple of early games against very good teams didn’t quite pan out due mostly to mediocre play and personnel that everyone predicted would be insufficient to score in this league. And again, the Patriots decided to get rid of Mac’s new favorite target in Jakobi Meyers. Then the Dallas game happened and Mac totally lost his confidence and has been playing mostly like a scared, humiliated, and disrespected QB. On top of that the Patriots lost their best two players overall to injury.
So now we have a probably broken QB that was already kind of limited, and frankly below average offensive skill players, and a severely injured and underperforming offensive line. Mac has been figured out, hasn’t been able to overcome his limitations, and has very little support on the field to cover for him. In the NFL I think your 2nd and 3rd years are what make your career, and Mac’s is looking like if he doesn’t get to go somewhere that has a lot of talent and support (like Geno to SEA) his career is near over.
Is Jax good? I can't really tell. It feels like they installed a fisher price offense or something.
Well you lost to the Jets and the Pats before this, and are the single team in the league that made Mac Jones look confident and comfortable this year.
We didn't lose because we played badly, we played badly and thus we lost.
I would like to apologize, to ABSOLUTELY NOBODY.
Well of all the positions to turn your team around QB is the most important, it’s just hard to play QB consistently well in the nfl.
