BABZ PATRIOTS STATE OF THE UNION: I STILL BELIEVE IN DRAKE MAYE.
THE FACT FANS IN NEW ENGLAND ALREADY WANT TO MOVE ON FROM HIM IS INSANITY.
I AM MORE RED THAN THE EMOJI 🤬

To my friends who are New England Patriots fans:
Christmas Day 2023, Brock Purdy threw 4 interceptions against the Ravens.
We had terrible fans who said the "Purdy Experiment" was over. 3 years later Purdy is OBVIOUSLY working out pretty well for us.
Don't listen to the morons, and don't abandon your boy Maye.

Obviously, Drake Maye is not playing well for the #Patriots. But despite how terrible they look, don't forget:
• Maye scored on a 21-yard run. Called back for holding penalty on Morgan Moses (correct call, but unnecessary hold). Pats settle for a field goal.
• Maye finds a wide open DeMario Douglas heading into the end zone. A catchable bad pass is not caught. Drive ends with an interception.
Those two plays change it from 14-14 to a 14-3 Jaguars halftime lead. #NEPats

Mike Malone should’ve never been fired by the Nuggets first all of. Secondly.. you had ALOT of nba minds like Carmelo Anthony who think SO HIGHLY of Mike Malone they think he should’ve taken over for Spurs!
This is not a panic hire by UNC! This is a GREAT HIRE by North Carolina

The Patriots just beat a 2025 playoff team by 17 points.
They did it without AJ Brown, Dre’Mont Jones, Mike Onwenu, Carlton Davis, Harold Landry, and others who missed time.
I’m a fan of the TEAM, so I don’t care how they win. Defense, offense, special teams, it doesn’t matter to me. We made it work and got the job done.
A lot to clean up on offense. It’s gonna be boring without AJ Brown, but that’s the way it is right now. Still not close to good enough from Drake, but outside of the INT, it was a step in the right direction. Momentum will need to be built week by week. Zak Kuhr is absolutely excellent, and he’s going to need to continue to be excellent to compensate for the AJ Brown-less offense.
Onto Jacksonville.

UNC’s ceiling may be higher than people are giving it credit for.
3 players with real NBA Draft buzz.
Terrence Brown is a 1st Team All-ACC talent.
Depth and Experience.
An NBA Champion head coach.
Everything is new — but there’s enough in place for top-15 type upside, or more…
Is UNC a top-20 team? 👀
This roster has upside.
Michael Malone is an NBA champion, there are intriguing newcomers & NBA talent across the roster.
We got into UNC’s ceiling and what this roster could become on the latest Next Gen Hoops.

Drake Maye has faced one of the toughest 5-game defensive slates we've seen for a QB in recent memory: LAC, HOU, DEN, SEA, SEA.
So I asked: using 2025 defensive stats, what does an average QB put up over 5 games against those four defenses? Here's Maye vs. that baseline.
Vinny Ribar retweeted
Yeah, I overreacted. Matthew Stafford looks terrible.
Drake Maye will be just fine.

The bad news: The Patriots threw 3+ INTs, took 3+ sacks, committed 3+ penalties + scored 0 points in the 4th quarter.
The good news: They STILL only lost by 3.
They were driving to take the lead with a chance to win, without their best player, vs the league’s best defense and its best defensive mastermind. It’s Week 1.

On the road.
At night.
In Seattle.
No AJ Brown.
No TreVeyon Henderson.
Against an elite defense.
Against the defending champs.
One off night… and we have people ready to give up on 24-year-old Drake Maye.
Be better than that.
Vinny Ribar retweeted
Drake Maye is 24 years old.
Drake Maye is an elite Franchise QB.
Drake Maye just went to the Super Bowl.
You can take all of your Drake Maye hate and throw it right in the garbage.

In the 2003 opener, the Patriots lost to the Bills 31-0
Tom Brady went 14/28 and had 4 picks, 123 yards, 0 TD’s
“They hate their coach”
The Patriots then went on to win a Super Bowl along with 17/18 games total that season
