A win is a win, right? The Patriots finally pulled one out—and against the Bills, no less… But this wasn’t a season-saving victory; it’s more like a Band-Aid over a gaping wound. The once-mighty dynasty has hit rock bottom when celebrating a win that changes… well, nothing. Instead of bringing clarity, it’s raised even more questions. Like: Is Jerod Mayo coaching on borrowed time?

With a 4-12 season staring them down, it sure feels like it. And yet, Mayo doesn’t seem too rattled. “At some point in time, I’ll have my normal meeting with the Krafts,” he said calmly. But let’s be real—fans are already drafting his pink slip.

His play-calling has gone from questionable to outright baffling, leaving some praying this “meeting” is a one-way ticket out of New England. Harsh? Maybe. Accurate? Ask the nation.

Even after the W over Buffalo, the criticism didn’t let up. Mayo sidestepped questions about benching Drake Maye after one drive and keeping Jahlani Tavai out of the first quarter, dismissing it as a “coaches’ decision.”

But that’s not the Patriots way—or at least, not the one any of could recall it to be. New England’s culture isn’t built on vague answers and inconsistent decisions. And boy, it’s getting noticed more now.
