What's up everybody? I'm Phil Perry. Welcome in to the next Pat's podcast. It's a Thanksgiving week edition of the Next Pat's podcast.

Did not want to let this holiday week go by without delivering to your inboxes a fresh hot podcast.

We thank you so much for listening, for watching on YouTube, for leaving us all the comments

that you do for contributing to our mailbags.

You, my friends, are what keep this thing going.

And we are so incredibly appreciative for that.

What we want to do on the podcast here today, give you something to chew on, so to speak,

when it comes to what Patriots followers should be thankful for in the here and now.

It might not be a very long list.

You're sitting there in your car driving to your family's feast.

Maybe you're driving home.

Maybe you're on the road.

Maybe you got some significant travel ahead of you.

God bless you, if you do, looking to spend that time with your family as you should.

But as you consider, yeah, I am a Patriots fan. What do I have to be thankful for exactly

as the team sits here at three and nine? And they seem to be getting worse by the week when it comes

to their pre-snap penalties and the ability to avoid them. When it comes to their communication

in the secondary, when it comes to the coaching

staff's ability to put together an effective game plan or their ability to react in real time

and adjust whatever game plan they came into a given week with and change it to take advantage

of whatever they're seeing in the first and second quarters.

What do I have to be thankful for exactly?
