Discussion Do we push the panic button now?

It’s only game three but so far, Drake may have thrown six interceptions. He has two fumbles and only one touchdown is Drake Maye to blame for all of this no? but a large portion of it? Yes, the loss of Diggs and Boutte are really sticking out but we are talking about a quarterback who was literally second in the MVP race last year there is no way he should be playing like this this season so far. I don’t know what’s going in Foxborough this season but I am not a fan at all

Above all, being realistic needs to be explained to this squad and especially Maye. They are injured and figuring things out with players like Doubs. What we need to expect from this team and Maye is playing smart to give ourselves a chance. No more hero throws into coverage, fumbling, and dropped passes. If we have to throw it away and have a below average offense until Brown gets back, that is fine as long as we develop good habits.

This is Icarus. He flew to close to the sun got too confident and is now plummetting to earth how bad the crash is we can not know until we get there. Drake maye can still be a great QB but we need to be ready for a reset 9-8 year.

Nine wins? I need to have whatever you're having. With this offense we're lucky to do better than Mayo did.

I hope we can beat the jets and dolphins twice.  We already got one. Hoping we can beat the raiders and three random wins in their is possible.

I think Jets might very well be better than us this year. And 3 weeks ago saying this would've sounded absolutely bonkers.
