Not sure if you’re aware, but the New England Patriots no longer have an offensive coordinator.
OK, so Matt Patricia, Joe Judge, and, for all we know, the Ghost of Dick Coury might be in the driver’s seat by the time the season gets started Sunday in Miami.

It was a brutal offseason for Patriots faithful, the sort of constant onslaught that Belichick has silenced in the past by coaching his team above its playing level.
