Drake Maye is under more pressure than ever, and the New England Patriots aren't doing enough to help their struggling quarterback. Maye appeared on the injury report with a right shoulder issue despite being a full participant in practice. But whether the shoulder has anything to do with his struggles or not, New England has much bigger problems surrounding him. The Patriots' pass catchers have to be better. There have been opportunities where Maye has delivered a good football and his receivers haven't finished the play. There have also been far too many snaps where New England's pass catchers simply aren't creating separation. That raises another question about Josh McDaniels' offense. How much falls on the receivers, and how much falls on a scheme that isn't consistently creating opportunities for them? Then there's the running game. TreVeyon Henderson has yet to force a missed tackle according to PFF. Rhamondre Stevenson needs to protect the football, but New England also has to find ways to create space for him. Maye hasn't played well enough. But asking a struggling young quarterback to fix everything himself isn't going to solve this offense. If the Patriots want any chance of beating the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, somebody else needs to start making plays. #Patriots #DrakeMaye #NFL Photo Credit: Morgan Tencza IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
