Sunday's Patriots loss is one fans will talk about for a long time, but many likely wish they could forget. Before we fully put the 33-6 defeat in the rear view mirror, here are a few leftover thoughts.
Bill Belichick feels like he's losing his grip on the Patriots locker room. And his only recourse may be to send a message with a major move on the roster.
The Patriots are 2-3 and have a tough game against the 49ers. Does this qualify as a must-win? Matt Dolloff and Alex Barth break down the keys to the game.
In the span of roughly two years, after having what Belichick himself called “the best quarterback situation in the league,” the Patriots effectively lost both Brady and Garoppolo for a second-round pick in 2018 and a compensatory selection in the 2021 draft, which feels like one of the worst examples of roster management in the history of all professional sports.
With Earl Thomas now essentially on the open market, should the Patriots look to bring him in? Could they realistically be seen as players in an Earl Thomas sweepstakes?
How many people are expecting Patrick Mahomes to falter in the Super Bowl? The answer is not many, which means a failure will be far more damning for a player now universally regarded as the best in the NFL.
Richard Sherman had well-documented interest in joining the Patriots. But now we know how interested the Patriots were in him. That is, not much at all.
After Jimmy Garoppolo’s recording setting contract on Thursday, it just goes to show how desperate NFL teams are to find and retain a “good-to-great” quarterback.
Jimmy Garoppolo is about to be the highest paid player in the NFL, according to a report out of the Bay Area.

As we start anew, let’s make this simple. Weeks ago, Bill Belichick told us he did not want to trade quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. When the Patriots nonetheless elected to do so, they did not merely endorse Tom Brady for the foreseeable future.
