In this week’s episode of Missing the Point, Mike Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan break down a tough Patriots loss to the Raiders and dive deep into what it means moving forward. The guys take a hard look at Drake Maye’s performance, where he showed flashes of potential but also struggled under questionable play calling and poor situational decisions. They debate whether Josh McDaniels’ offensive strategy held the team back, why TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson weren’t used enough, and how Carlton Davis’ defensive lapses exposed the Patriots secondary. The conversation shifts to broader roster challenges, including the absence of Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams’ growing role, and the surprising release of Jabrill Peppers. Can Mike Vrabel and his coaching staff establish a winning culture with this group, or is the lack of depth already showing cracks? Outside of Foxborough, the guys turn their attention to the AFC East, where the Miami Dolphins stumbled badly in Week 1 against the Giants. Rayshawn questions whether Mike McDaniel’s job could already be on the line, while Mike considers how long ownership will stay patient. They also break down Tua Tagovailoa’s inconsistency, Tyreek Hill’s fading explosiveness, and whether Jaylen Waddle can truly become a reliable weapon. The episode even touches on Lamar Jackson’s James Harden-like reputation in big games, Josh Allen’s playoff struggles, and the never-ending debate over Tom Brady’s legacy as a “winner” vs. a “talent.” This is a no-holds-barred look at coaching decisions, roster construction, and the big-picture direction of two of the NFL’s most talked-about franchises.
