Giardi: Mike's Musings on Maye being a mess, highly-paid players not performing and more
bostonsportsjournal.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Patriots suffered a disappointing loss, with the game effectively decided before the fourth quarter, leading to visible frustration among fans and media alike.
- Quarterback Drake Maye continues to struggle, posting seven consecutive games with negative EPA and leading the league in turnovers, including six interceptions, indicating a serious decline in performance.
- Maye appears to lack confidence in his protection and receivers, and questions remain about his shoulder injury, as he reportedly is not undergoing treatment.
- Offensive line struggles were evident, particularly from right tackle Morgan Moses, who appeared outmatched and vulnerable, and right guard play from both Greg Van Roten and Walter Rouse was subpar, contributing to pressure and negative plays.
- Coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the challenges faced by the offensive line and noted that while Rouse showed effort, he must improve to meet the demands of his position.
