"The ceiling for a football team that has won a total of eight games over the last two seasons is typically pretty low. But the attitude around the 2025 Patriots is different. There is optimism that Mike Vrabel and company are due to turn things around this season. Eliot Wolf completely rebuilt the roster in the offseason, and Drake Maye is primed to have a strong sophomore campaign as New England's quarterback."
"There's no denying that a lot of eyes will be on New England's second-year quarterback. The expectations are that Maye will perform better than in his rookie campaign, thanks to a new coaching staff and a rebuilt roster. The one thing Maye needs to improve on is his decision-making. A couple of his throws during the preseason sailed and could've easily been interceptions, and the Patriots' offense isn't built to commit multiple turnovers and win games."
Optimism surrounds the 2025 Patriots despite only eight wins over the past two seasons. Mike Vrabel leads a coaching staff expected to improve team performance after Eliot Wolf overhauled the roster in the offseason. Second-year quarterback Drake Maye is projected to take a step forward, with improved decision-making critical to success. If Maye approaches 4,000 passing yards and 25 touchdowns while limiting turnovers, the offense can function effectively. The early-season schedule in September and October offers winnable games that must be exploited. A 10-11 win campaign and a Wild Card berth represent the realistic best-case outcome.
