There’s nothing to glean from the end of the New England Patriots’ 2023. If you’re a die hard fan, only disappointment awaits. If you’re a casual observer, any satisfaction gained from a stout defense serves to have its legs kicked out from underneath by a truly inept defense. If you’re watching for sheer trainwreck potential there isn’t even that; the Patriots are horribly bad, but rarely entertainingly so. Mac Jones isn’t getting stiff-armed into oblivion after a horrible lateral-filled game-losing play. He’s just sitting on the bench while Bailey Zappe does his impression of an NFL quarterback.
