Ray and Chief Bobby don't believe the Patriots deserve credit for Sunday's win against the Jets. The New England Patriots pulled off a comeback to edge out the New York Jets 25-22 on October 27, 2024, snapping a six-game losing streak. New England initially struggled when rookie quarterback Drake Maye exited in the second quarter with a concussion, but backup Jacoby Brissett took over, managing key drives and connecting with Boutte and clutch catches down the stretch. Marcus Jones sparked the team with a crucial punt return in the third quarter. Rhamondre Stevenson scored the game-winning touchdown with 22 seconds left, sealing the Patriots' victory despite a late push from Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers​.At the very least, 1-16 is officially off the table. We are now on 2-15 watch.

Buckle up, sports fans! It's time for a slam dunk of an episode on the Simple Minds Sports Show! Hosts Rich, Dr. BigMac, and The Chief are bringing the heat as they kick off the Boston Celtics' opening night with a bang, celebrating the epic raising of their 18th championship banner!

What a wake up call in Jolly old England. The Patriots are officially the worst team in the NFL. We've got a civil war of words in the locker room while their head coach calls the team soft. The Drake Maye warm and fuzzies have lasted all but one week. Outside of the rookie QB there is not a single positive you can take away from this entire organization. Systemic ineptitude and suck starts from the top. What kind of drastic measures will be made for this kind of drastic situation?

Editor of Musketfire.com, Sara Marshall joins the boys to talk Pats. Coach Vibe is sending a wake up call after failing his rookie quarterback. Who is really to blame and what can we look forward to?

IDrake Maye is looking like a function NFL quarterback. I understand it has been awhile since we've seen that around here. I get we are grading on a curve. I like him too. But, he did Elliot Wolf and company no favors on Sunday. Drake Maye is about to expose how awful this team is in every other aspect other than quarterback. In the long run that should be a good thing. It should weed out the true garbage a bit faster. It you let this ownership off the hook for hiring a GM, Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator, and Special Teams coordinator who all cumulatively had ZERO minutes of experience in their positions, you are a weak fool. And if you let these rookie coaches and managers off the hook, be gone with you I say! Until the garbage is taken out we're about to see a lot more 41-21 losses instead of 24 - 10 losses.

It's a full on emergency situation in Foxboro.
