From very conservative offensive play calls to a head-scratching approach to pass coverage, Patriots coaches did not put their players in the best position to succeed Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Simmons called New England\u2019s latest coaching performance \u201cdeplorable.\u201d The Ringer founder and diehard Boston sports fan also offered a theory about Mayo and his assistants\u2019 curious decisions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=\/media\/motion\/2024\/1117\/dm_241117_Pats_TD_1\/dm_241117_Pats_TD_1.jpg&amp;w=1256\" alt=\"New England Patriots Scores, Stats and Highlights - ESPN\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Pats coaching today would only make sense if we find out after the season that (Robert) Kraft ordered them to tank games starting now,\u201d Simmons posted to X.<\/p>\n<p>It probably isn\u2019t a coincidence that New England\u2019s three wins to date were in games where there wasn\u2019t a significant gap in coaching. You don\u2019t need to be the second coming of Vince Lombardi to go toe-to-toe with Zac Taylor, Jeff Ulbrich and Matt Eberflus.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, the Patriots were dealt a loss in every contest where the opposing sideline had a clear-cut better coach. So while New England players have been challenged to develop and progress as the franchise builds toward the future, the same task should be placed on Mayo and company.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diehard Boston sports fan Bill Simmons launched a conspiracy theory after the New England Patriots&#8217;
