@reisner_steven Yep, couldn't agree more. Could be a massive TV series, too.

Eight years ago today, the world lost a real-life superhero.

Always remembering Stan and forever striving to preserve his legacy 🤍

Just want to remind people that Drake Maye is 5th in the NFL in QBR.

Despite his weapons and the fact that they haven’t been able to run the football all season.

[Brien Pirro @brienlp]

@ScottyBPats Why not?

[Brien Pirro @brienlp]

Play him. The bye week comes right after Detroit.

[Carlos A. Lopez @LosTalksPats]

As much as it sucks to say, I think it’s best the #Patriots keep A.J. Brown out this week and bring him back in Week 12.

There’s no reason to risk making his knee worse when he gets an extra week to recover after you return from Germany.

What do you guys think?

[Brien Pirro @brienlp]

@LeeDaFotographa @ShopTheDimeLab @KurtBenkert How is it?

[Savage @Savageboston]

I’m not sure why there isn’t more focus on how bad Drake Maye’s “weapons” are right now.

Doesn’t fit the narrative i suppose?

[Brien Pirro @brienlp]

Hopefully this absolutely pathetic lack of action at the trade deadline means AJ Brown is closer to full health than we anticipated because fuck me.

[Brien Pirro @brienlp]

@NFL_DovKleiman Patriots why the fuck not

[Pats Buzz @PatsBuzz]

Drake Maye is about to face the Lions down 3 olinemen, Mack Hollins as WR1, and down his 2 starting runningbacks.

And the Patriots did NOTHING at the deadline.

[Cameron Magruder @ScooterMagruder]

RT if your team made no trades at the deadline

[Michael Rodnick @MJRodnick]

Through 9️⃣ weeks, the Patriots:

🚑 - WR1, WR2, WR3 missed time
🚑 - RB1, RB2 (will have) missed time
🚑 - LG1, LG2 missed time
🚑 - RG1, RG2 missed time
🚑 - CB1, CB2 missed time

Absolutely wild.

[Matt McGonagal @mcgonagall7777]

Drake Maye’s weapons next week:

Corey Kiner
Lan Larison
Terrell Jennings (elevation)
Mack Hollins
Pop Douglas
Efton Chism
Kyle Williams
Hunter Henry
Eli Raridon

#Patriots

[Kendra Middleton @KendraMiddleton]

Why are the Patriots doing nothing

[Scotty B @ScottyBPats]

The Patriots offense is looking crazy rn

[BetMGM 🦁 @BetMGM]

The 2026 Bills have beat...

-The 3-5 Texans
-The 26th ranked Lions defense
-The winless Chargers
-The Rams in OT
-The Raiders by 3 points
-The Joe Fagnano Ravens
-The Carson Wentz Vikings

And lost to Drake Maye

[Nate Tice @Nate_Tice]

It's pretty easy to say Maye is very good because he's been, well, very good. Even historically good when looking at underlying stats.

Despite the Patriots run game ranking 51st and Maye being pressured at the 11th-highest rate among the 69 QBs with 1000+ attempts since 2013, Maye ranks:

- 2nd in Dropback SUPLEX (behind only Purdy)
- 3rd in yards/DB
- 5th in EPA/DB (behind Purdy, Manning, Brees, Mahomes)
- 4th in DB SR (behind Purdy, Mahomes, Brees)
- 2nd in SR on just throws
- 3rd in explosive pass%

And to top it off he's the 8th-most efficient scrambler while scrambling at the 2nd-highest rate.

[Roundtable Sports @RoundtableSN]

The Patriots allow pressure on 45.9% of dropbacks, the most in the NFL #ForeverNE
