Even with better coaching, the New England Patriots offense somehow looks much worse than it did last season. Through the first half of the season, they have gone from being bad to embarrassingly awful.
The offensive line hasn’t been able to stay healthy, and the talent at receiver hasn’t come close to living up to expectations. Quarterback Mac Jones hasn’t been a complete disaster, but he’s been bad enough to make some people believe he’s still the problem in New England.
The chances of a turnaround in the second stretch isn’t looking good, either.
