Here in New England, the 2022 season remains a frustrating topic, and it’s added some additional pressure on New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick after the decision to have Matt Patricia and Joe Judge handle the offense following Josh McDaniel’s departure to Las Vegas last offseason turned out so badly.
