The Patriots of this year, are so similar, personnel wise, to the 2018 Ravens.
The gameplan is so similar, heavy run, very little passing. Cam is actually more accurate this year than Lamar was that season, but Cam has more turnovers but also more touchdowns. Cam less efficient as a runner but he has so many goal line stuffs that kill his average.
The Ravens had Mark Andrews, who even his rookie year was probably better than any receiver on the Patriots roster right now. They picked him in the 3rd round, right around where we picked Devin Assee-assee. They also had John Brown/Michael Crabtree/Willie Sneed, again, all probably better than Patriots receivers. But Lamar had a lower completion percentage than Cam does right now. Less passing yards per attempt too, crazy to think.
My point being, this has been done before, and worked. You have the same ingredients virtually, but you're 6-7 and the Ravens finished their year 10-6.
Whose to blame? The horrible receiving core, poor rush defense, that's on Bill. But the horrible play-calling on offense, especially in the redzone, that's on McDaniels. These QB runs where you have Cam alone behind the line, everyone knows what's coming, it's ridiculous. Take advantage of his legs in the open field, he can drop back to pass and scramble as well as pick up chunks of designed runs. Lean on the running backs who have been great this year, Damien Harris is averaging 5 yards per attempt and even Sony has been good since he's been back.

Some really bad play calls this year where the play has been "ok cam run", and you're exactly right on how telegraphed it seems
Cant make up for lack of talent but young players are coming around, we found some studs in the draft this past year
I like the idea of a hungry Sony, because he did insane in college with his snaps when he was backing up chubb
Hightower comes back bext year, will tremendously help the run defense. Bentley has veen getting better and better but he's not on the same level by any means lol
People thinking we are going to be terrible for like 10 years don't u derstand football or jist really dont know our roster.
We have major upgrades needed but also our new/young KEY players need time in our system to learn it and be confident in what the coaches ask them to do at any time
The rest of this season is Bill's preseason. Enjoy the show
