He is the most powerful person in the #Patriots organization under Mike Vrabel.

Sean McVay says he shaped how he sees the game.

At 23, he changed Ohio State-Michigan history forever.

Lions HC Dan Campbell sure seems excited to play the #Patriots 😅

“We’re gonna get ready to go. We’re gonna have our best game plan in all three phases, and we’re gonna be ready to get after New England’s a**. I cannot wait.”

A fun flashback.

Before Mike Vrabel and Dan Campbell face off as head coaches in Sunday's #Patriots-Lions game, Vrabel intercepted a pass intended for Campbell in a Pats win over the Lions 20 years ago, and Campbell tackled him on the return.

Need someone to ask Wes Welker about this ASAP.

The play before Vrabel's INT, Dan Campbell caught a 21-yard pass on him, despite Vrabel re-routing him up the seam.

It was Campbell's only catch that day. The Pats won 28-21.

There’s just too much smart content out there to believe Maye is a byproduct of the schedule. Turn off the talk radio, try a podcast (@PatsInterferenc says hi), study the games.

You’re not an apologist for noting Maye’s young, NE is very limited around him and, oh, all QBs have worse numbers against elite defenses! Now, you are if you stop there. But no reasonable analyst is, same as no reasonable analyst would define Maye strictly by his turnovers. He’s everything you see, spectacular plays and bozo mistakes included. Now, I expected a big Year 3 leap. I was wrong. But Maye’s been a high-level QB by the eye test and advanced stats for 1.5 years. Period.

[Andrew Callahan @_AndrewCallahan]

Not in Maye’s case. His processing is fine. He’s not capable yet of overcoming elite defenses on his own, but I’d submit that’s something only 3-5 QBs can do in a given year.

And not enough people who raise the schedule point stop to ask, why must he do it all himself? Because NE’s run game and pass pro are bad, and *terrible* in those same matchups. Maye commits some bad turnovers, no question. None. But it’s hard for *anyone* to live like that at QB. Maye’s very good, and will be great soon.

Is it possible that Drake Maye is not a high IQ QB?

Given his struggles against top teams and top defenses I submit that his in game “processing” of the defense and schemes is not at the level of elite QB’s

Posting my mailbag early:

The Patriots are 5-4 and facing a potential crossroads to their season this week against the Lions in Germany. So, why did they stand pat at the NFL trade deadline?

Sources: The #Patriots did not make any trades. The NFL trade deadline has passed.

just have to embrace the bozo moments because it leads to so much good stuff

[Andrew Callahan @_AndrewCallahan]

Christian Gonzalez is allowing a 90% completion percentage and 70% success rate on out-routes. Most were completed the last 2 weeks. What gives?

Plus, all other #Patriots starting DBs gave up TDs or explosive plays vs. Green Bay. Full breakdown here:

What happened on Drake Maye's INTs against Green Bay?

Some familiar looking missteps from earlier this year, and a Packers defender having little regard for Kyle Williams' clear-out route:

I'm not sure if I can recall seeing Patriots fans so down on a team with a winning record.

What's on your mind?

Ask me your #Patriots questions. #MailDoug
