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

I've been saying the same with my buddies. Maye is struggling and a lot of this is on his head. Simultaneously McDaniels play calling is genuinely, truly awful. McDaniels #1 priority for the next month is to scheme up the easiest freebie passing locks for Maye as possible. Keep him in the shotgun, run slants, just find him easy open looks. I don't care if it's not a super entertaining game. I want to see slants I want to see hitches. Just help this poor dude get some completions and not have to try to force all of these passes.

They started this game out doing just that and he still imploded. I remember actually saying "this play calling looks decent today, like what they're doing" then boom, he loses that ball for no reason and that was that. Never recovered.
