What's Wrong With the Patriots? Ranking New England's Biggest Problems
The New England Patriots are 1-2 after an ugly Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. So what's gone wrong through the first three weeks of the 2026 NFL season? On this episode of the Foxborough Fellas, we rank the Patriots' 10 biggest problems and debate which concerns are the most serious moving forward. Drake Maye's decision-making. Josh McDaniels and the offensive scheme. Mike Vrabel and the coaching staff. Penalties and situational football. The offensive line and run game. Zak Kuhr's defensive scheme. The pass rush, run defense, tackling, injuries and roster depth. Where does each problem rank, and how much can realistically be fixed? Then we flip the conversation and look at what IS working for the Patriots. We finish with the positives through three weeks and what New England can build on as it tries to rebound from a 1-2 start.
