What are the New England Patriots going to look like in 2024?
Will they take a step forward under their new regime, entering into a new era with a surprisingly effective season? Or will they struggle mightly once more, losing whatever edge Bill Belichick brought to the team on the defensive side of the ball to instead head face-first into a free fall, with fans focusing more on draft odds than playoff positioning?
On paper, this isn't a very good team, but one question has to be asked: do the Patriots want to be a good team?
