The New England Patriots haven’t been able to find any sort of success this season.
Hiring Bill O’Brien to develop Mac Jones and build the offense around him has been pretty much futile.
They couldn’t even get past the New York Giants, who have been one of the worst teams in the league this season.
That’s why it wasn’t surprising to see former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky being quite frustrated with what he saw from their offensive tape.
The Patriots offensive tape is absolutely awful
-poor designs
-poor timing
-poor spacing
-poor details and execution
-poor rhythm
-guys doing different things consistently
-very little “why” to doing thingsIt’s about as bad as it can get at NFL level

The ESPN pundit took to Twitter to discuss just how bad the things that he saw were, listing poor play design, poor timing, poor spacing, poor details and execution, and poor rhythm, adding that several guys are doing “different things” consistently and that there is very little “why” to doing things.
Orlovsky deemed it as bad as it can get at the NFL level, and that comes from a guy who’s been there and done that.
Of course, Jones has been the fall guy more often than not, and we have to admit that he hasn’t done a lot to help his case.
Then again, it’s not like he was put in a position to succeed at all.
If anything, the Patriots set him up to fail from the very beginning, surrounding him with wide receivers who cannot create any sort of separation and a subpar offensive line.
Jones’ future with the team is murky at best, and he might not get another shot in the league, but he’s definitely not the one to blame for this mess.
