What are chances Patriots change offensive coordinator in-season or next spring? (Mailbag)
This week's mailbag includes questions about the Patriots, NFL and the future of their offensive coordinator.
The Patriots have a 78% chance of hiring an offensive coordinator this offseason. The team's offense has been bad this season. There are many good candidates on the market, but it's unlikely that Matt Patricia will be calling plays again next season, because he has too much to do. For the time being, the team needs to find out what they do best and maximize it.
Mailbag is overflowing this week.
Christian Barmore is very important to the Patriots' playoff chances. He gives the team's pass rush another dimension. Barma was projected to be one of the defense's best players in 2022.
The Patriots are third in the AFC behind Buffalo and Miami. They are ahead of New York. Andrew would like to see Marcus Jones play more on offense.
The Patriots are unlikely to sign any free agents to help on the offensive line. Billy Yates will be given more time with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Matt Patricia could go back to the front office and Joe Judge could retain his quarterback coach title. Paul C. is unsure if McD Daniels will get fired in-season or next spring.
Jamie Collins hasn't played since the loss to Chicago on Monday Night Football. He's on the practice squad, so he's probably going to play against the Bills on December 1. The Patriots are 4-4 with 8 games to go. Miller predicts they'll win four of the final eight games.
There are chances Patriots change offensive coordinator in the season or next spring.
Patriots will win one of the two games with the Bills. Patriots will also win at Cardinals.
Patriots lost to Raiders. Cardinals are a mess. Patriots lost against Bengals.
There are no plans to change Patriots offensive coordinator in the season or next spring.
The Patriots take a pseudo must-win game at Bills.
Buffalo plays everybody and wins a big game in Western New York. The team needs to finish with a 9-8 record to earn the final Wild Card spot.
Mac Jones is going to show up at Gillette Stadium. There are chances that the Patriots will change offensive coordinator in-season or next spring.
