The Patriots would in some way discover a technique to be worse than their present 1-5 file in the event that they changed Mac Jones, in line with CBS’s Tony Romo.

“Mac Jones is healthier than what’s being talked about or being proven,” Romo stated. “Generally, the tape reveals that he’s not enjoying properly at occasions. I feel the rationale why he hasn’t been changed is as a result of he’s really serving to them have an opportunity to win extra typically.”

Nonetheless, it doesn’t get a lot worse than the way in which the Patriots have begun. Their solely win this season is in opposition to the Jets, who had been lacking beginning quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Saints and the Cowboys each stomped the Patriots, handing Invoice Belichick the worst two losses of his profession. This week, former Patriots Jakobi Meyers, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Brian Hoyer led the Josh McDaniels-coached Raiders to victory.

The state of affairs isn’t totally Jones’s fault. Invoice Belichick constructed a roster with evident holes. The offensive line has been an issue all yr. The receivers aren’t producing a lot exterior of Kendrick Bourne. The working backs are averaging lower than 85 yards per recreation.

However, Jones has seven interceptions and counting. Romo referred to as Jones’s most up-to-date choose a “horrendous” throw after he despatched the ball crusing over the pinnacle over a wide-open Hunter Henry.

Romo reiterated his feedback after the sport, saying that the throw was unacceptable and should have price the Patriots a win they desperately wanted.

“These previous two weeks had been horrible, however if you take a look at it, these video games come right down to turnovers,” Romo stated. “The turnover he had right now is just not OK, that’s an indiscriminate throw with a man extensive open, and you may look again and say these are factors. And on the finish of it, you find yourself dropping by just a bit bit, I imply that may very well be the distinction within the recreation.”
