The New England Patriots are at home this week against the Bengals where they are trying to rebound from one of the most humiliating losses in franchise history last week against the Raiders in Las Vegas.
So how are things going for them at Gillette Stadium? Not great. Not great at all. Joe Burrow and Co. have jumped out to a big lead early on and it seems like the Patriots are basically just playing out the string.
Cincinnati scored two touchdowns in the first quarter and after the second one Belichick could be seen dropping an F-bomb while wondering what the heck happened to his defense on a Burrow TD pass.
Check this out:
Bill Belichick…

Yeah, that pretty much sums up the Patriots right now.
NFL fans had reactions on that, as well as the state of the Patriots.
Anyone see Belichick mouth “What The F$@!”
We love to see it… https://t.co/bcMhSR8qtC

I know it sounds crazy..but what if we just need a whole new culture change in New England? Dynasty is long gone..coaching isn't working, is Belichick gonna be gone?
Look at the Dolphins, Lions..they have gotten way better and both very good cultures with their new coaches

As a Pats fan, I honestly don't know what to say. The 1st quarter performance was abysmal. I never thought I would see a Belichick-coached team look like the Rod Rust or Dick MacPherson Patriots. I would argue that Coach Mac's teams looked better than what we see out there now.

Insane to see a Bill Belichick team quit, but you could understand why the players are at their wit's end

Stick a fork in the 2022 Pats. Belichick and his three ring circus of idiots have completely lost this team. Never thought I’d see this day.

How did Belichick not challenge that Chase catch? The Patriots coaching staff is inept. Inept. That’s the only word.

I'm not even at Gillette Stadium and I can sense the vitriol and frustration from the fans that they have for Jones and the offense
Bengals have played excellent defense on two drives, but there is definitely reasons to be frustrated if you're Belichick and the Pats Offense
