Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome into Tom Tom Cairns' Patriots Talk podcast.

0:23.6

It is the aftermath, and it's the aftermath of a 10 to 6 loss for the Patriots in Germany

0:28.2

on what feels, feel like what will end up being a landmark day for this team,

0:34.4

a feeling of resignation as to what's going to happen after the season and what

0:39.2

is happening now in 2023, agree or am I being a little too over the top, recency bias?

0:48.1

No, I don't think you're being too over the top. I agree with you. The sense of resignation that I heard from the podium specifically from Bill Belichick and others after the game was just unusual, not alarming, because I think there have been people in the organization, Tom, who have been resigned to their fate for some time now.

1:07.3

But to hear it after an ugly game on an international stage, you're the only

1:12.7

1:47.1

as bad as Mack Jones was against Dallas or New Orleans, those seemed like temporary things.

1:52.9

This looked like a broken Mac Jones today, throwing a fallaway pick with an opportunity to go

1:59.1

ahead on a first down play when all he had to do was miss

2:03.1

long or throw it completely to a completely open player. You're not going to see somebody that

2:08.2

open. Maybe that's why he got so fuzzy on the play. But here's Bill Belichick about the benching

2:13.6

afterwards. And you'll also hear Mack Jones speaking about the decision to bench him late in the game and give the final drive to Bailey Zappi.

2:22.3

Bill, what the Bailey Zaki is the best option for an effort?

2:26.3

Yeah, I just thought it was tough for a change.
