Hey, what's up, everybody.

Welcome into Tom Caron's Patriots Talk podcast, Patriots Panthers this week.

Patriots are one and two.

They could be three and O. They could be three and O.

They could be O and three.

As demoralizing, though, is last week's loss was this one, if they don't get it, could be even worse.

Because the Panthers really stink.

You know, the Patriots, we can have long conversations about where they are relative to your expectations.

But the product is better.

They were better than the Steelers. They were better than the dolphins. You could even contort things and say, had it not been for that pick at the beginning of the second half, the Patriots, despite all those explosive plays, they might be better in the Raiders. They could be 3-0. Instead, they're 1 and 2. They're going to see Carolina at home.

Carolina on the road is two and 17 since the beginning of 2023.

You might say, oh, sitting ducks.

This one's easy pickings.

Remember the Patriots are 3 and 16 at home.

Can you imagine that?

Three and 16 at home.

So something's got to give. But the Patriots right now are in a position, Phil Perry we bring in right now, where they have lost games and stiff upper liped it and said, we'll get it fixed. We'll do a better job. We're not looking for that. But they haven't gotten angry. They haven't gotten mad.

You know, I imagine we're going to see Ramandre Stevenson in uniform, maybe reduced carries,

but if they lose this game and it comes, the black box reveals that there were mistakes made,

somebody has to get a little pissed off at some point.

You would think so, Tom, but I'm just not sure that's part of this generation of NFL player anymore.

And I don't know who it would be.
